So you 've decided you want to be a rockstar, eh? You 've decided that you 're going to join the likes of Hendrix, Clapton, Page, Stevie Ray and Slash as a rock n ' roll and guitar icon. Well, before you get too famous and lose yourself in either your music or drugs and alcohol, you have to get a guitar to begin with. It can be daunting to go into a guitar store and see millions of guitars, some for $200 and some for $2000. So which ones should you go for and what should you be looking at? Well I 'll do my best to lend you a helping hand in this oh so important first step. First of all you have to decide what you want to play, electric guitar or acoustic. I would recommend starting out on acoustic because most players do and it is usually cheaper. Keep in mind if you 're buying an electric you 're also probably going to have to buy an amp to go with it. Acoustics are also more portable because you only have to lug around the guitar, with an electric you have to carry a guitar in one hand and an amp in the other. Remember, set a budget before you go in the store, only spend as much as you can afford. Well now that we have established that I 'm going to start of first with acoustic guitars. This point goes for both electrics and acoustics. If you are buying the guitar for your child, then you might want to consider one that is smaller in size. Most guitars come in half and 3/4 sizes, which are perfect for smaller kids. Next you should look for an acoustic that you like.…

There are millions of people worldwide who either play the guitar, or would like to play the guitar. There are equally as many people claiming to have the "miracle" training course that will have you "playing like the pros" in a week (or some other ridiculous time frame). That's impossible and here's why... What if I told you I had an 18 part video series that will teach you how to do brain surgery in 7 days or less. Would you buy it? Would you trust yourself to perform the surgery on another…

There are two popular styles of trumpets which produce music in different ranges. A trumpet in Bb is most commonly used for pop music and in school bands, while professional musicians have trumpets in the C range, as it is most appropriate for concert pitch. Trumpets are therefore categorized by their pitch, which corresponds to their fundamental frequency (History of the Trumpet). Musicians commonly play with the chromatic scale when using the trumpet, which includes twelve tones and semitones…

B♭, C, E♭, E), can be seen below in the two 12-tone matrices, one using note names and the other using numbers. They both tell a composer the same thing, just in different forms. The left horizontal rows are the prime forms starting on various scale degree numbers (row P0 is the original row, P11 is the original intervals of the P0 row, but starting on the 11th note of this tone row, or the note C.)

are often used to structure the melody of tonality of a piece. Usually, the mode used in Chinese music is described as a pentatonic scale structure. The pentatonic scale lends to making simple harmonies but also maintain norms of simplicity and clarity while harmony isn’t emphasized. In contrast, Western-style music uses the heptatonic scale that lends to producing complex harmonies among various instruments in tension. The Chinese consider music based on these notes in pentatonic scales to…

notes giving a short sound rather than the quartet flow of bars in a song. Through this characteristic, he is able to influence even rock musicians as Cheseborough says Eric Clapton has referred Robert Johnson as "the most important blues singer that ever lived (Cheseborough, 2008). In addition, what is distinct is the raw country slide that is produced by his guitar. Because of his mastery of the instrument, he is able in this song to bring out the country style musical play in the song. More…

conditions to check the coding of f0 at the level of brainstem. Five steady state vowels /a/, /e/, /i/, /o/ and /u/ will be synthesized at the sampling rate of 44100Hz and duration of about 250ms. These vowels will be synthesized once again with different F0 which corresponds to 1, 2 and 4 semitones increase from base F0. A total of 100 trials will be given for 4 stimulus with a probability of 25 percent each. All the trials will be presented to the right ear in random order at the most…

bar nine but with G#s in the bass, which leads to an A minor chord on beat one of bar ten, instead of C major.
