Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary If you know how to play a Dobro guitar you have at your command a whole range of notes that you cannot get to without a slide. You can slide into notes which, with that unusual Dobro wail, makes your audience's hair stand on end. When we talk about knowing how to play a Dobro guitar, we are talking about a resonator guitar. The attraction to so-called "Dobro" guitars is the unique tone of the single cone resonator guitar with a wooden body.

Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary The question of whether bass or guitar is harder to play often comes up in the minds of guitar beginners. Some even think that the bass must be easier to play because it has less strings than the guitar. Right at the beginning of guitar playing, instead of just trying to learn a chord or finding a course of guitar lessons on the internet, newbies always start looking for the easiest or the "best" way to learn guitar. So wondering about which is harder to play between guitar and bass is another question that holds up progress. The Ting Tings, with their signature brand of sound that seems to resemble an eclectic mix of Brit pop and alternative tunes of Franz Ferdinand and Portishead, is out to conquer the world not only with their songs, but with their free-spirited take on the music industry. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary It is easy to learn guitar tabs. Only one basic idea needs to be understood, the rest falls into place. To illustrate this idea I will be using tabs for a simple piece of music called Peter Gunn. Guitar tabs are seen by learning guitar players as an easy way to start playing guitar right away. That is true but it is wrong to think that guitar tablature just needs to be read. Like all languages it needs to be understood. So if you have an idea that you would like to become a guitar player and tabs would be a great way to sidestep any difficult learning, there are a couple of things you need to get straight. A new breed of pop is finally here. Fresh from Britain with a unique name and an even more diverse sound, the Ting Tings have infiltrated the world music scene. The combined genius of Jules de Martino and amazing vocals of Katie White give us intoxicating songs like Shut Up and Let Me Go, Great DJ, and That’s Not My Name. Now, as their popularity heightens, we see the Ting Tings’ videos like Shut Up and Let Me Go on famous music channels much to the excitement of Ting Tings fans clubs all over the globe. Expert Author: Arne Reichelt | Summary Audio Mastering is an extremely popular and scientific means of transferring and preparing recorded audio from the source to the data storage device, referred as the master. The process is mainly applied in the post production stages and involves high end sound processing techniques. The Audio Mastering process has experienced a series of transformations which started from the 1950s until the advent of digital recording in the late 1970s. Katie White and Jules de Martino of the indie pop band, The Ting Tings, stunned everyone with their new brand of sound and eclectic grooves. Their debut album, We Started Nothing, takes us into a whimsical ride to their original techno-pop tunes, unmistakably witty Ting Tings lyrics, and new-fangled musicality that the industry has long been clamoring for. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary If you are a new guitarist who is curious about the guitar techniques you will be learning in the future or if you are looking to develop a little more style in your guitar playing, this article will tell you about some commonly used guitar techniques. I am also going to describe how to play a flamenco guitar technique that I think you will enjoy playing around with. I am not attempting a complete list of the things you can do on the guitar because each guitar playing style has its own techniques but hopefully you will get some ideas of where to go next in developing your technique. Expert Author: Frank K. Githinji | Summary Beatles love is a top song which won a Grammy award. It is a soundtrack compilation album which is definitely a favorite of many. The music was recorded by the Beatles and, it was released in 2006. The album was a huge success and it was produced by George Martin. Expert Author: Frank K. Githinji | Summary Love music are tunes and sounds composed specially to talk about and deliver messages of love. This kind of music has been in existence since we came into being. This is because love inspires so many things. In the villages of Africa, love music was a feature of the night life. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary This is a brief note on how to sort through free country guitar tablature and use it to start yourself off as a guitar player. Some of the biggest solo artists in history have been country artists. Garth Brooks springs to mind immediately. But country music is not unique to the USA. Australia has country legends like Slim Dusty and James Blundell. Canada boasts Hank Snow, Shania Twain and Anne Murray. There are also country artists in Russia, The Middle East, England and Germany. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary This article is aimed at giving you some material to work with to come to your own understanding of chord progressions and to give you a working knowledge of the circle of fifths. You can stick with the proven formula of I-IV-V to arrive at chord progressions like: G C D G or C F G C or D G A D or A D E A or E A B E. But you can use the circle of fifths to get your own chord progressions and to understand how popular chord progressions have been invented. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary Slack key guitar is a fingerpicking style which has been kept well hidden by its most notable exponents. Finding books, records or tutorials on slack key guitar playing is a series of dead ends where recording studios and music publishers have stopped recording and publishing and guitar players who specialize in slack key playing prefer to play for family gatherings rather than look for ways of spreading the word about their art. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary After many years Hotel California is still a classic. The words and chords are sought after items by guitar players young and old. Below are the words to Hotel California with the chord names inserted into the lines in brackets to avoid the complications we often get trying to publish lyrics and words together in articles. So the name of the chord actually appears just before the word where the chord change occurs. If you are familiar with how the song sounds, it will not be a problem. When techno meets pop and the sounds of 80’s synthesizers, you get the chill out, feel-good tune of the indie pop band, The Ting Tings. They blasted into the Billboard charts with songs like Shut Up and Let Me Go, Fruit Machine, and That’s Not My Name making a huge following among the Ting Ting’s fans club members. With a name like that, this band is definitely easy to remember and hard to forget. They stormed the local UK music scene with an unusual name and a unique tune. With beats that bring you back to the disco fever of the 70s, and wordplay that blows your mind, The Ting Tings are out and coming with not just a few crazy melodies, but a fine new breed of musicality, as well. Expert Author: Ricky Sharples | Summary Free guitar chord software is a sought after item. If you feel you must own software that can spit out every chord known to man then why not get it for free? I cannot help wondering how many variations on the basic chords a guitar player needs. If you want to put a little variety into a song or guitar solo then a new fingering for the chords you are using is the obvious answer. In the pre-internet days we had to look through books of chord shapes which were not always readily available. With guitar chord software you can have a world of chords at your fingertips as long as you have your laptop with you. In a music generation where new acts are mostly stereotypes or copycats, it is tough to find a unique sound to enjoy and follow. Meanwhile, those who don’t fall in either category try to be inventive and make up something, only to end up an embarrassment to their fellow musicians. In the rare event that the experiment works, we dub the artist a musical genius. The same can be argued for The Ting Tings. When you have an indie pop band that blends original British New Wave groove with simple disco-punk riffs, it’s either a hit or a miss.
