How Convincing Can an Epiphone PR-4E Review Be?

November 13th, 2011

I have read so many reviews of various kinds of electric guitars, but they all did not convince me. Well, I guess the recent Epiphone PR-4E review I found was an exception. I was so convinced that I even bought myself a new Epiphone PR-4E electric guitar player pack.

You see, the other reviews I have read either sounded too biased or were not helpful enough. On the other hand, the Epiphone guitar review was very informative and balanced. The review discussed the key features of the guitar and expounded on why it is ideal for beginners like me. It also included a link to a site where I can buy the said guitar at a discounted price. And the review was indeed true when it said that the Epiphone PRE-4E will give me good value for my money. The one I bought comes with an instructional DVD, strap, gig bag, picks, and tuners. These are all I need and they all come in a very affordable electric guitar pack!

Now, I have the right gear for the band that my friends and I are forming. I can’t wait to show off my new electric guitar when we practice for the first time this weekend.

DubTurbo Makes Beat Making Easy

October 1st, 2011

DubTurbo is the one program out there that keeps beat making simple. And, if that were not already good enough, it makes the barrier of entry in music production very low. You can thank its incredibly affordable price for that (less than 40 bucks at the current time, but it may go higher soon).

One of the things I like most about this program is that its built for anyone. It does not matter if you are new to music production or if you have already been doing it for awhile. There is something for everyone with this program, and once you get it in your hands it will be easy to agree.

If you want to get a jump start in beat making, I suggest you give this program a shot. You do not have anything to lose and will be blown away by the possibilities and what you can achieve with it. It’s well worth the money, trust me!

Tricks of the Trade

September 30th, 2011

One trick that composers have utilized when writing Music For Bassoon in the orchestra is to divide a fast-paced running line between the two bassoons in the orchestra. If the bassoon is doubling the contrabass line in continual sixteenth notes, the first bassoon may play a group of four sixteenths and end on the beat as the fifth sixteenth note is played. At the point, the second bassoonist can play a set of five sixteenth notes that overlaps the first bassoon. That means that the last note of the first bassoonist becomes the first note of the second bassoonist. This is done because a grouping of five quickly-paced notes is quite doable. There is no need to fear that the note that is momentarily doubled will stand out from the rest. Interestingly, that single sixteenth note merely takes its place alongside the others. This trick has been employed successfully since classical and romantic eras and will probably be shared by composers for years to come.

The Legendary Fool Guitar

August 12th, 2011

Eric Clapton’s nickname is Slowhand. He is a fast player but apparently there was a time when every time he broke a string he would insist on fixing it on stage while the audience waited, clapping slowly. Someone coined the phrase as a joke and a play on words, and it stuck. Clapton is one of the most successful musicians around and he is famous for his guitar playing and even hosted a guitar festival featuring famous guitar players from around the globe. There are few photographs of Clapton singing without his trusty instrument. One of his guitars, referred to as the legendary psychedelic because of the custom paint job it received after he bought it, was called The Fool. He left it with a friend and eventually it was auctioned for half a million dollars. You can get a tiny version of this or of any of his other guitars from a firm that hand makes miniature guitars.
