Jamorama Review

Written by Announcement Author on Sunday, November 15th, 2009 in Music and Audio.

As awesome as guitar playing is, at times it gets difficult if you’re not realizing the results you want to. While this is a common issue if you’re just starting out, even more experienced players go through this and it is hard to beat this problem. Believe me, I should know. I’ve been playing for 16 years, and while I’ve had a blast, sometimes I hit a wall. It can also be annoying when you’re trying to learn from less than stellar materials and courses. After coming across this package awhile back, I decided to write my own Jamorama review.

New Zealand guitar instructor Ben Edwards, along with the rest of the crew at Jamorama, have really been addressing these issues in the latest version of Jamorama. The first release they put together was a smashing success, but they’re trying to improve upon it with the latest version. In my humble opinion, they’ve put together a knock out package when it comes to quality and completeness. It’s got plenty of great features that will have newbies and professionals alike expanding their playing and taking their guitar skills to the next level.

So what’s inside? For starters you’ve got a heap of great guitar instruction in a glossy two book series, but my favorite part is the nearly 150 video examples and exercises they put in the course so the student can hear and see exactly what they should be doing. This is priceless… it’s great to read about guitar, but nothing beats an instructor showing you, up close from 2 different camera angles, how to play a chord or phrase. Another thing in this package (which I’ve never seen before, and I’ve reviewed tons of guitar products) are the two special computer games made to help your music reading and pitch recognition. Nice touch.

In addition to this they include the Pro version of GuitEarit and Jayde Musica! as free bonuses that will help you develop the ability to easily play songs after just hearing them on the radio. Both of these programs are excellent free bonuses, but more importantly they’re easy and fun to play.

These guys seem to really like hooking up bonuses, and to add to it they throw in 2 extra free ebooks. “Advanced Learning Techniques for Guitar” and “How to tune your guitar”. Advanced Techniques introduces the concept of mental visualization, which is will defintely speed up how quickly you learn~Advanced Techniques highlights the technique of mental visualization, an excellent idea for shortening the learning curve}~Advanced Techniques introduces the concept of mental visualization, which is will defintely speed up how quickly you learn~Advanced Techniques dives into the idea of mental visualization, which is actually a really cool trick for speeding up the learning process~Advanced Techniques highlights the technique of mental visualization, an excellent idea for shortening the learning curve}. This mental technique is like practicing, but you’re not actually playing. I thought this was a little hokey at first, but then I tried it and was actually really surprised how much it helped me speed up my own learning. The second bonus book, “How to tune your guitar” may seem basic, but it’s got some great information and a tip I’d never heard of before.

Extra bonuses? Oh yeah, they throw in a metronome for you, which is an essential practice tool.

With all of the high quality books, games, videos, and bonuses they give you with this package, I was impressed with Jamorama and have no problem recommending it to My Guitar Guide readers. I have been a guitarist for many many years, and if I got plenty of value from it then I know anyone will be able to. My only regret is that when I was first learning, the Internet wasn’t very big and I didn’t have access to this kind of stuff… but I guess there’s no better time to learn than today!

This package is by far the most complete and fresh approach to guitar playing that I have seen in a long time, and the subscribers of My Guitar Guide have rated it 5 stars as well. I highly recommend this product because I do believe it will deliver results and have you playing popular songs like a professional using the most effective techniques. There really is something for everyone, whether you’re a newbie or a seasoned pro. And at the current cost… well, suffice it to say that you don’t need to waste your money on $200 guitar courses out there, Jamorama does an excellent job for under $50. I sincerely hope that this Jamorama review has helped clear up any questions you had, and that you can start using it to make your guitar playing better today.

Beat Machine Downloads Online

Written by Announcement Author on Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009 in Music and Audio.

I don’t know about you but I’m not too crazy about those cheesy free beat machine downloads they have sprinkled all over the internet. You do know that these aren’t free. These demo’s are free of charge. Yes that’s right you can demo them for free but if you want to own them then you have to pay for a license.

Most call this type of software shareware or freeware. If you’re new to the term this is when software developers allow potential customers to try their software usually for a limited time or with limited use. You obviously won’t have rights to the full version. Most of these freeware or shareware downloads do not allow you save your music.

If you are not careful you will pay too much for your software they are very pricey. I think that some of this software seems overly complicated to say the least. I like things that are priced reasonably and are easy enough to use right out of the box so to speak.

I found this great little beat machine that has mp3 export capability and features tutorials that not only teach you how to use the beat machine but also how to use it with different instruments. They have a great site and yes they too have a free trial and their very own beat machine downloads. You can also use these beat machines on Mac’s and other platforms as well as a PC. They have staff on board that will give you help online too. Very cool. So easy to use even a 7 year old can do it. The software sure is priced right far less than the others.

Beat machines are pretty popular right now whether it be for rap or R&B everyone wants one. My advice to you is to do your homework so that you find the right software. My advice is to try different versions of these beat machines until you find the right one. But if you can’t wait and don’t want to go to all the different sites then try this link for a some really good beat machine downloads

Electric Bass Beginnings

Written by Announcement Author on Wednesday, October 21st, 2009 in Music and Audio.

 

No matter how long ago a piece of music was written, there has always been a musical line written for a bass part. Whether it is using the foot keyboard on an organ, playing a standing double bass with a bow, or playing the tuba, all music has needed a under-structure, and this is found in the form of a bass line. We tend to notice the emptiness of when music lacks a bass line or implicit bass line. As music styles evolved into modern jazz, blues, rock and roll and r&b, there was a need for a new type of bass instrument to provide the necessary strong bass line support. This is how the electric bass guitar era came into being.

Though the very first electric bass guitar was invented in the 1930’s it never achieved the critical mass of popularity until the Fender bass guitars brought the electric bass to the masses. The equivalent prior instrument, the upright bass existed for hundreds of years prior to this.  With it’s range of tone, techniques and amplification the bass guitar offered a bass sound that was different from any other that had been heard before from more traditional bass instruments. Held and played horizontally like a regular guitar, the electric bass differed from it’s predecessor, the upright bass not only in it’s orientation during playing but also in it’s ease of use and portability. Electric bass players were no longer burdened with a huge lumbering akward instrument to carry and protect. The bass guitar looks similar to an electric guitar in that it’s body is solid, but the bass guitar has a longer neck than an electric guitar. Also, unlike an acoustic guitar which is hollow, with a sound hole to allow for amplification, the sound of a Fender bass guitar is amplified by plugging it in to an amplifier and speaker. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar, the bass guitar initially had only 4 strings and to this day, that is the most common configuration. While guitars are primarily strummed and picked, the bass can be played with a variety of techniques as well including, fingering, picking, slapping,thumb play, muting thumping and more. The Fender bass guitar is definitely a rhythm section instrument. When playing and interacting with a good drummer, a good bassist can help shape the feeling and pocket of the music in a way that non rhythm section instruments cannot. The electric bass is a special instrument and much more than a 4 string guitar.

A History Of The Gibson Les Paul

Written by Announcement Author on Monday, March 30th, 2009 in Music and Audio.

The Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar

1952 marked the beginning of the modern day guitar revolution. It was in this year that Les Paul and Gibson teamed up to create the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have no doubt heard this guitar in action. You may have gone to a live a show and seen your favorite musician playing it or you've heard it on your favorite record, this guitar is a staple in the music industry and has been since its creation all those years ago.

The history of the guitar's inception is a little different depending on who you ask. Les Paul is attributed with adding certain elements to the guitar (the trapeze-style tailpiece, to be exact) as well as his name. Les Paul was a very popular Jazz musician at the time. Ted McCarty was in charge of Gibson when the Les Paul was developed,. He claims that the guitar was completely designed and made before Gibson ever approached Les. Gibson did this to get an endorsement for their new guitar from a well known jazz and pop guitar player.

Despite the legendary status this guitar has on the market these days, believe it or not it was actually rejected when it was first introduced. Les Paul's prototype was called 'The Log' and it was rejected when he submitted it. His vision was to put electronics into a solid piece of wood as opposed to the semi-hollow bodies that were being introduced at the time. His unique design spurred the industry in a new direction and expanded on the idea of the electric guitar that became wildly popular. Since then, his guitar has gained traction with guitarists through the decades to finally rise to the icon it is today.

The rich, storied history of the unique Gibson Les Paul electric guitar still attracts guitar enthusiasts and collectors to this day. The unique tone spectrum of the guitar is used by many studio musicians. Many notable musicians use this guitar still today. Many famous guitarists have used this guitar: Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, The Edge, David Grohl, Eric Johnson, Ted Nugent, Keith Richards and many, many more. It has a rich clientele that continues to grow, making this guitar one of the most landmark electric instruments to hit the market.
