There are many different methods out there on how to string a guitar. I’m sure a lot of them work fine. There’s one method I’ve learned that is the simplest and most effective method I have seen, that doesn’t require pointless wrapping and wrapping of the sometimes too short strings around the tuner for it to work.
The basis of this is taking the string, and trapping it tautly under itself when you turn the tuner tab, trapping it in place.
First off I recommend after removing your old strings, to give your guitar a good cleaning as it can build up dust and gunk in little nooks and crannies that are unreachable when the strings are mounted. Once this is done set the tuner pin (as I will refer to it as; the vertical pin that has the hole in it to put the string through) parallel with the guitar neck.
Place the string through the tuner pin. Grab the excess that is sticking out the end of the head of the guitar tautly, and pull it around a ...keep reading
Have you ever noticed the way your favourite band or favourite singer dresses while on stage? They tend to look pretty good, or they at the very least dress in a way that suits the type of music they play. It’s one thing to be able to sing, but part of learning how to become a singer is taking your image into consideration. Image is one of the most overlooked aspects of becoming a musician/singer, and is usually one of the easiest aspects to fix. The importance of your image will vary depending on your goals, so if you only want to become a singer for the fun of it then it isn’t something to worry about. However, if your goals involve record labels, such as being in a signed band, or becoming a pop star, then you should really take your image into consideration.
So what exactly does it mean to have good image? All it really comes down to is putting some effort into your appearance, as well as making sure it fits the music you are singing. It does not mean dressing ...keep reading
As you love music and enjoy it in every possible way, you will be happy to know there are a number of thing you can do to treasure it even more.
You can start loving your music by creating memories with it. When taking a road trip with your girlfriends, play your music in the car. You are all guaranteed to enjoy it. This is a good way to have your music mean more to you. The memories will always be there when you play the folk or emo music by yourself.
You love your emo, folk or alternative music more when you only buy exactly what you love. Avoid buying music just because it is the in thing in the market. While shopping for music, only get that which means something to your heart. Buy it because it is dear to it. This is because you will love it even when all the hype has died down.
Your love for indie or alternative songs is remarkably heightened when you listen to just more than what you own. Listen in to different shows from time to time to appreciate other ...keep reading
As of late, I’ve been overrun with progressive rock junkies and although I was exceedingly into that particular style for quite a few months, I have recently began dipping into calmer, mellower, fresh sounds . This has affected a lot into the fresh music I have found recently. Remember, fresh is a term concerning relativity to what is new or original to someone. Listening to The Doors ten years after the fact still counts as new if you’ve never heard it before. Hopefully this blog will help a few music heads that have not had a chance to listen outside the box find a sound that they can finally relate to.
This week’s new music:
