Acoustic guitar

where I get to pass on the ultra-useful and sometimes strange bits of information that make life easier in certain situations. I love pocketing tricks of the trade. They are often hard-won and well worth the effort. If the wire wound strings on the guitar produce too much squeaking when the guitarist moves his fingers to grab his next chord, try using some “Fingerease” string lubricant. This tones down those squeaks and even helps to preserve the strings. Some folks love this stuff. Others hate…

to the warmth of the fireplace and listened to my stepdad strum the guitar. I was instantly entranced by what he was playing. Some blues melody that had me engrossed. Looking back the desire to play the guitar, had really just come from me looking up to my stepdad as a father figure, and perhaps wanting reciprocate what he was doing. Whatever the case, I asked if I could try. He handed me the rustic, vintage looking acoustic guitar. I was immediately plagued with my small, limited six year old…

years old and they are now in their late seventies so they have quite the knowledge and experience in seeing the evolution of music through time. The pastors are a duet, as Esther sings the beautiful songs Angel is accompanying her with a classic acoustic guitar. In this special service, they were not the only one participating but also other singers…

into the ever-so-charming wordsmith that is Courtney Barnett. The singer-songwriter out of Melbourne, Australia is known for her quirky lyrics, her soft-spoken vocals, and her carefree guitar pop-rock sensibilities. “Pedestrian at Best” may be Barnett’s loudest work to date. It’s muddled with brash and aggressive guitar playing, topped off with Barnett’s static-heavy vocals. It’s a 90s Nirvana and grunge fan’s dream. She opens the song with the lyrics: “I love you, I hate you, I’m on the…

As my acoustic guitar is a featured instrument within the tracks, Stereo Spread gave the guitar a lot more space. Double bass EQ: - As I was capturing the sound of a double bass as a whole I pushed my bass signals at around 300hz; to capture the to neck sound I pushed the EQ at 2000Hz. Multipressor: - This helped me capture and boost just my bass frequencies without boosting any rattles from the neck or bridge. Electric guitar Depending whether I used an amp or if the electric guitar was…

outside and sitting on the lawn at the DTE Music Center to enjoy some relaxing tunes. Jack Johnson is classified as a folk and acoustic rock musician, however I compare him between a calmer version of John Mayer and Jason Mraz combined. He plays an acoustic electric guitar, but his guitar playing skills are nowhere near as good as his writing skills. He plays basic guitar chords, but his lyrics make the music. His style is very mellow and relaxed. It’s the kind of music you listen to while…

Introduction A sound can be separated into two components; envelope and find structure. The envelope is an outline of the waveform that reflects the fluctuation of amplitude of a sound. The envelope can be thought of as the overall morphology of the sound wave given. In a sound wave, the fine structure is the sound within the envelope. The fine structure can be thought of as the more detailed variation of the sound wave because the sound itself moves at a much faster pace than the overall…

The reason why engineer’s might bring in effects to a vocal track is mostly to create an aural space or even to add excitement. Many engineers describe effects as something that can make the vocal track sound deeper, wider or even bigger. “Everything has to be bigger always. Effects are makeup. It’s cosmetic surgery. I can take a very great song by a very great band and mix it with no effects on it at all, and it’ll sound good, and I can take the same song and mix it with effects and it’ll sound…

A large mound of fat called acoustic lipids[5] and this mound often called a melon[9]. The clicks by the toothed whales are generated within interconnected channels behind the melon .[1] The dolphin is able to change the shape of the melon and become an acoustic lens which condenses the waves in to a beam.[5] The echoes are received at a point in the lower jaw of the animal sometimes called the “acoustic window”. This section is also fat filled and helps the wave travel…
