Learning to play the guitar is not as hard as most people would think. It just requires a lot of discipline and passion. Below are some useful beginner’s guide to playing the ultimate musical instrument- the guitar.
1. Get a good teacher
If one can afford it, he should get a good guitar teacher who does not only have the technical skills in guitar playing but has the passion for teaching as well.

An unexpected manuscript showed up in our inbox. We were immediately convinced of its authenticity and decided we had to share it with you. It was accompanied by the following note:
For some odd reason G?nter?s mind started shifting into a different mode?he was at an old friend?s work place, at a party [dreaming, he always liked a good cigar now and then, on special occasions that is, –and Molly, the secretary, asked him if he wanted one. He looked at her, said ?yes,? in an inquisitive way, and to his misfortune, it was quite small. Bewildered he gave no response except, a shallow: ?Thanks,? and went about and lit it. Then the old friend?the one that mysteriously appeared, appeared one might say out of nowhere?was sitting by him, he wanted to try the cigar out for him, smoke it that is. But there wasn?t much, especially for both of them, and only nearly enough for him. As if there was not enough air in the room, and of course, you cannot share what you do not possess [he confessed to himself, and if there is a want or need, it is on the beholder?s side. Nonetheless, he hesitated, and looked stern into his face, his youthful face, a face that didn?t age like his, ?I have an idea,? he says to the old friend, ?put the end of this cigar into your pipe, and then you?ll have enough to enjoy.? The mystic friend looked at him pleased, and just happened to have a pipe on hand, and pulled it out while, G?nter put the cigar, what was left of it anyways, into the barrel of the pipe, and gave it to his stranger-friend. As the friend smoked from the pipe he started to choke, as if he was spitting up tobacco, pieces of the cigar, or blood, something; his throat was choking on it anyhow, and it was burning, a fatal burning sensation. He didn?t know what to do, so he told him, ?…here, here take some water, swallow it, quick, and cool the throat, it?ll put out the flame?, and the friend did so, and all was well for the moment.

America\’s Infatuation with Hollywood Stars
By: Morgan Hamilton
I am sure we all are infatuated with Hollywood stars. From the time of the birth of the movie capital of the world, Hollywood, we cannot take our eyes off these charming people. They can even be called the Royal Family of America if this is not too insolent. Unfortunately, the infatuation with Hollywood Stars grows into an obsession for some fans. These fans transform their homes into shrines to their favorite celebrity. Their lives become centered on just one idea ? the Hollywood Stars.
Yeah, that?s right. I’m throwing my hat in the ring.
And because I have no political acumen, I’m going to tell you right now exactly what I believe and what I’ll do once elected.

From bird flu to disco fever, it?s time to find cures for the epidemics that threaten to wipe us out. We do this by better using our country?s intellectual capital, for example, taking the R&D team that brought us the automatic feed paper towel dispenser at restaurants and repurposing them. We pull them aside and simply say ?fellas, congratulations. You have reached the zenith in the field of public restroom paper towel distribution. Now your country needs you for another important task.?
