by Matt Rushton I've been a guitarist in a live band for 27 years now. I started playing guitar 29 years ago so people often ask me how they can improve their guitar skills. The answer is so simple that it catches them by surprise as soon as I tell them. All you have to do to become a better guitarist if have a regular practice schedule. Sounds simple doesn't it? That's because it is simple but it's something that too many guitarists fail to do. Setting up a practice schedule is as easy as deciding on a convenient time for you to sit down and practice your guitar. Then make sure you block out that time every day just for guitar practicing. You almost have to have a religious conviction to your practice time in order to keep that time set aside only for practicing. The next thing you need to do is set up a comfortable and relaxing practice studio. The ideal setup is to have your own room where you can create the perfect practice studio. You won't need a huge amount of space. You just need enough room for your equipment and you. In your practice area you should have a ...

Whether you're looking for the perfect signed photo, a guitar that's autographed, or even an album or CD with signatures, there's something out there for everyone. It is always best to try to obtain your own signature in-person from the artist, but if you cant all is not lost.

by Bart Icles Playing the piano for the very first time can be a tough job for anyone. Like any normal individual, starting anything new or learning something from scratch is difficult at the start. Learning how to play the piano is no different. Remember the first time you rode a bike, or balanced on those first pair of roller skates? You had to practice a lot until you got it right, didn't you? Well, it's almost the same for anyone who has ever sat on a piano stool. With piano lessons, the practicing part is no exception -- and you do have to practice a lot, too. But for certain, you don't have to worry about skinned knees and scraped elbows when learning how to play the piano for the first time. As you mastered riding your bike, you felt proud and happy about yourself and also felt something wondrous words could not never quite describe. Patience, dedication, and practice was all there was to it, and so it is with being able to play the piano with feeling and passion. Learning how to play the piano is done in a step by step manner which you may not fully enjoy at ...

by francois arcoix Usually 10 to 15 guitar chords are what you need to learn well to play most of the songs you like. Chords are joined with other instruments to provide the background music of most songs. If you are wondering what is meant by a chord, the playing of three of more notes together is what this means. Three strings being strummed on a guitar if your chord consists of three notes is the way to play the chord. The guitar can only play a chord consisting of six notes because the guitar has only six strings. The chords consist of three groups - Major, Minor and Seventh. The three have their own sound. The major chords are consistent, the minor chords are almost sad and the seventh chords are jazzy. Most people cannot agree on a standard number of chords but the feeling is there anyone who wants to learn to play guitar should know from 8 to 18. The ones typically used in all types of music from rock to classical are among these. When learning these chords you increase the number of songs you can play and it is much more enjoyable. So what are the basic chords we ...

by Pat Beagle Ever thought that you were good at singing because you appreciated music but didn't think you had what it takes to go all the way? Well, nothing beats Karaoke for just getting up there, (usually after several drinks), and letting it rip. One song you can be Elvis and the next you can be a country and Western star. It's all up to you, and that is the beauty of Karaoke. Some are too afraid to get up there, but those who have a great experience are usually the ones who wait until the end of the night when they've had a few before they get up and sing. They know that at that point no one is being judgmental because they simply don't care. Then there are the ones who think they're good, and won't get off. They sound like they are being tortured, and, in fact they are torturing everyone else. However, Karaoke is for everyone and for all ages too. Parents love to watch their child be a star, and the kids love it because it is good for their self- confidence and esteem. However, Karaoke isn't just for bars or restaurants, it is also for gatherings such ...
