Guitar

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…

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…

part of the song “Sivad” by Miles Davis. During the 9’13” mark in the song “Sivad”, there is a sporadic playing coming from the electric guitar as the rest of the band played their instruments with certain amount of calmness to it[]. This contrast allows the electric guitar to sound even more out of a place in the song which ultimately creates the electric guitar to hold such feeling of fierce intensity. [] Although in “Homage for Charles Moffett” there is no rhythm section performed by the…

I saw it in the music shop window and I knew that it would be mine and only mine. I bought it and took it home. Billings would love it. My god. It was so beautiful, so sleek, so smooth. Its body was a glimmering gold and I could feel the keys push down gracefully with a satisfying plop! It was the most majestic thing I had ever seen and… Oh crap. I dropped it. Down it came with a crash. I realized that I wasn’t wearing a neck-strap. As I picked my 2,000 dollar alto saxophone, I saw that it had a…

On Wednesday, October 5, 2016 at 8:00 pm, I have attended a performance by Joy Harjo and her friends Mitch Taylor who played the guitar, Dave Copenhaver who played the bass guitar, and Smiling’ Vic Gutierrez who played the drums and vocals. I had specifically chose this performance to do my report on because I wanted to feel what actual Native American music would be like in concert as opposed to what we naturally think of when it comes to Native American music. For me, that would include heavy…

Fusion rock is a term frequently used in music to classify songs containing characteristics of the rock genre with another style of music, for example African or jazz music. Sister Rose, performed by renowned band Sky, and Smooth performed by the popular band Santana are both strong examples of fusion rock. While Sky successfully manages to fuse two very opposite styles of music, rock and classical, Santana unites rock and Latin music together bringing a spicy, hot dance number. Both pieces…

is “Crazy On You,” by the rock group Heart. It has been my all-time favorite song since I was in high school, and was one of the first songs I learned how to play on guitar. It is a stellar example of rock music that was popular in the seventies and displays the accomplished songwriting talents of lead singer Ann Wilson, her guitar-playing sister Nancy, as well as the contributions of the other members of the band: Howard Leese, Roger Fisher, Steve Fossen, and Michael Derosier. Composed by…

Vin Dammann (vocals, rhythm guitar), Dan Tumolo (drums), Rich Ealer (lead guitar, vocals) and Morgan Bartz (bass), make up the local New Jersey alternative band. Constructed from their Eps Beach House, Leaving Rip City and Its Not Your Pain, they delivered a thorough performance. Throughout, Ealer and his guitar were captivating to say the least. Not to say the foursome did not ‘wow’ as a whole, just the imaginativeness…

introduction to High Society starts with a synthesizer “progression”, of which term I will choose to use loosely, that lasts approximately ten seconds before subduing itself into the first verse devoid of any instrumentation other than drums and bass guitar. The sampled electronic keyboard or piano-like synthesizer sound returns later on in an even more…

When it comes to technology and musical instruments they have developed greatly throughout the year due to technological advances. These advancements make it easier for someone who is in any kinds of musical field to express their talents. The three instruments that will be talked about are the piano, violin and drum. These are base instruments for lots of musical pieces. When it comes to the piano it was born in 1709 in Italy by Bartolomeo di Francesco Cristofori. This instrument produced…
