I just had to send this out. I got an email today from a beginner (we’ll call him Peter) who had this to say…..
Hi there, I downloaded your first tuition video yesterday and I am having a little trouble trying to get my left fingers into position. Are there any exercises to make my left hand more flexible?? I seem to be touching other strings with my middle finger or not holding the string tight enough. I have had my guitar for about three years so I think it’s about time I actually start to learn to play it. Cheers, Peter
Opening Acts!…Does Playing Before A Rock Star Make You One?
By: Sheena Metal
It?s the dream of many a musician to open up for either: their favorite band or the favorite band of their childhood.

How To Copyright Your Music To Protect Your Future Royalties
By: Richard Cunningham
Many musicians confuse copyrighting music with registering music; these are two different things. According to the law in the United States, once you have written or recorded your music in a permanent form, it is automatically copyrighted.
Of course, it might help to first understand what it means to copyright music. A copyright is a certain legal protection that is offered to those who compose creative works, whether those works are art, music, or the written word. The U. S. Constitution states there are limits one can place on the amount of time the work is exclusively protected.
The king of Atlantis, Phrygian could meet death at its own terms, bravely enough, but when it came in the form of everlasting bestial hell, demonic figures so familiar, on a daily?if not hourly?scheduling watching your every move it became uncanny and hideous. It was the face of death facing you every minute, the mind never resting. There was no way in which he could direct his course in life, or if he did, he could not hold it but a millisecond, being always observed, and an object of scorn.
Salsa dancing has a very distinct dance style. It has a pattern step style encompassing six steps that are danced over eight counts in a musical beat.
Salsa is the combination of many cultural genres including Afro-Caribbean and Latin sounds.
Although the exact origin of salsa cannot be interpreted, many believe that Cubans created this explosive dance style that has won the world over. It is in this place where Contra-Danze or ?country dance? of England and France later known as Danzon that was brought over by the French who had fled from Haiti. Their experience with the French music traditions and the distinctive drum beat influences of Rhumbas of Africa and partner dance style helped influence the development of the very distinctive salsa style of music and dance that we are all familiar with today.
A Canon digital camera review of the Powershot S2 is useful if you are looking for a camera with a powerful zoom facility, or a camcorder with stereo sound and image stabilization.

Have you ever heared someone in a cipher freestyling and wanted to learn how to rap? Or have you tried to rap around your friends and maybe you were not as hot as you would like to be? Well I may be able to help you with that. I’ve been rhyming since I was like fourteen years old and, I’m kind of hot if I say so myself. For real though, if you want to learn how to rap it’s not as hard as you think. The easiest way to start learning how to rhyme is to just start freestyling. Even if your just playing around the more you do it, the better you will eventually get. You will get even better when you start writing your own rhymes. That is the real key. When you first learn how to rap it’s good to do alot of writing because the more you wright, the more you will see how words flow, how they rhyme together and different syllable patterns.
Time, ticking
Slowly, away
Never to be
Seen again
Always in the past
Creating memories
Seconds into minutes
Hours into years
At this moment
Now, that moments has gone
Stored in a secret place
On a shelf in the mind
Certain things
Bring them back
A special song
A photograph
Time is still
In a camera?s eye
The moment is kept
Kept forever
Each moment
Passes with time
As I write
Another moment gone
