Playing in Style of Fender Stratocaster

Customer Review: insight to signature fender telecaster styles/sounds
this video and the accompanying booklet provide great insight for the beginner or experienced player to the equipment spec's., and details of special tunings, chord-voicings and techniques of the most prominent and enduring telecaster driven superstars. i have not been able to find a second, or follow-up volume to this video (an effort well-warranted). nonetheless, if you're looking for a launching point from which to delve further into the playing of superstars like danny gatton, james burton, johnny lang, albert lee, kieth richards, and andy summers- this is money and time well spent.

I can describe the latest release from Rock super group Wallflowers for you with just one word Outstanding!

Wallflowers have been a super stars in the Rock genre for quite some time now and Bringing Down The Horse is an excellent illustration as to why.

Bringing Down The Horse is a nicely varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly outstanding musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own personal experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Listen to and I think youll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Wallflowers is clearly a group that is in top form.

While this entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are track 1 - One Headlight, track 7 - Laughing Out Loud, and track 11 - I Wish I Felt Nothing.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 9 - God Don't Make Lonely Girls. Its a great track!

Playing a musical instrument can be one of the most exciting things for anyone. It is not only satisfying but also lucrative as a career. Although each instrument has its own charm and significance, guitar seems to be one of the most popular choices of all time. For any guitar lover, it must be a treat to watch a person playing guitar and its tune and rhythm is simply overwhelming.

However, it takes a long time for a guitarist to master the art of playing guitar so well. If you ask any guitarist about their preference on the sound of guitars, their unequivocal answer would be electric guitar. Over the years, the popularity of electric guitars has gone up and so has their sale. Even though you have been playing acoustic guitar for some time now, you will need proper guidance while buying an electric guitar.

Take a look at the following points before you hit an electric guitar store:

Budget:

The prices of electric guitars would start from $300 and upward. If you have a shoe-string budget, chances are that you won`t find high-end guitars such as Guild Benedetto Signature Model or Paul Reed Smith Santana II. However, the good news is, due to the computer aided woodworking equipments, even low-end electric guitars sound almost as well as their high-end counterparts.

Types of Electric Guitar:

Electric Guitars can be found in different depending on their body. Most electric guitars are made up of solid wood such as Alder, Ash, Mahogany and Basswood. Semi-hollow instruments such as Gibson`s ES-335 are popular because of their thinness and lightweight. On the other hands, there are electric guitars such as Gretsch Black Falcon which a true hollow-body and f-holes allowing the user to tune the guitar to resonate sounds as well as the acoustic guitars do.

Types of Music:

Whether you would want to buy a Gibson ES-5 or Fender Telecaster depends purely on what music you play most of the time. For instance, if you belong to a country band, you should choose an electric guitar that produces cleaner and brighter twang. Hence, you can pick a Stratocaster or Fender Telecaster to do justice to your county band. On the other hand, go for the Paul Reed Smith McCarty Hollowbody II if you are playing music in a jazz setting.

Number of Pick-ups:

Usually, modern electric guitars can be found in two different pick-ups such as single coils and humbuckers. While single coils will sound brighter with a pronounced attack, humbuckers will produce a warmer and darker tone. Some electric guitars can also have mix pick-ups. Guitars having more pick-ups will produce more tonal variations.

Electronics:

All standard electric guitars have a basic set of pick-up selector switch, volume and tone controls. Instruments such as the Eric Clapton Signature Stratocaster have an added feature which allows the player to adjust the warmer and flatter sound of the humbucker. There are also hybrid electric guitars such as synth guitar which are fitted with additional hardware for connecting them to a synth via a 13-pin RMC system. Electric guitar manufacturers are now putting more emphasis on guitars playability than their aesthetics.

Appearance:

The looks of electric guitars would vary greatly and it actually depends on you preference. Guitarists who are into death metal would hardly like a Fender Telecaster with a shell pink finish. Hence, now-a-days, electric guitar manufacturing companies produce guitars that are genre-specific.

Frets:

Many buyers do not care much about the frets; however, they are curial to the playability of electric guitars. For instance, electric guitars with smooth and playable neck will allow you to do hammer-on and pull-offs, bend notes, and deliver clean articulations at any positions of the neck. If the frets are tailored perfectly, the electric guitars will offer a superlative performance.

Fender 1/6 Scale Mini Stratocaster

The legendary and venerable Fender Stratocaster guitar took guitar design to a higher level and became the voice of rock n roll. Featuring a comfort-contoured body, three single-coil pickups, and a synchronized tremolo system the Strat guitar has become the most popular guitar ever built. This 1/6 scale model guitar comes packaged on a blister card with many accessories including 3 mini picks, strap, shield, transmitter and guitar stand. (NOT PLAYABLE - For DISPLAY ONLY)
Customer Review: Mini Strat
I play a Stratocaster as my main guitar, and I even prefer it over my Les Paul, so I was intriguigued by a miniature Strat. I was expecting something similar to a Strat, but when I got it I was totally jazzed. The detail is unreal. They had gone to great effort to make everything exactly like the real one. It even has a pack of three picks. One thing is put it in a safe place to display it because in making the details in scale it is very delicate. I'm very careful not to damage it because it is a prize display I show to everyone who comes to my house. If you like guitars and unique detailed collectibles check it out. You'll love it. I do.

The short answer is yes. Vintage guitars are getting harder and harder to come by. Many of the large chains simply do not carry a lot of vintage, unless you live in bigger cities, and I do not. Even in large cities like Miami, NYC, L.A, etc, there are people waiting to snatch your vintage Fender guitar away from you. So, what to do?

eBay is the answer! Yes, it's true.

You can trust people on here, just look at their score on eBay and if it were in the 98%-99%, I'd say you were good to go. That's what I trust anyway. Then you can click on their username and find out what items they have sold previously.

This way, if they say they are selling vintage fender guitars or Fender custom shop guitars, you can see if this is true.

The Selection Just Can't Be Beat

Many stores only offer a handful of truly vintage Fender Strats. Not eBay. You'll find Strat makes and models, even Fender Custom Shops, relics and Masterbuilt Stratocasters. Not bad huh? If you love Vintage Fender guitars but can't afford one right now, check out the Fender Relics or Custom Shop guitars. PLUS, the Masterbuilt ones are incredible, right down to the original specks of that '57 Fender Stratocaster you've been eying.

Oh, and another tip: You don't want to buy a Vintage Fender Strat or Vintage Fender Telecaster from a guy selling comic books, right? So pay attention to their quality score next to their name on the top right and click their user name to see what else they have sold. Good luck finding YOUR perfect guitar!

Metallica's lead guitarist, Kirk Hammett, was listed as number 11 on Rolling Stones list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time. While playing with Metallica, Hammett contributed to many songs that were huge hits, developed some killer riffs and earned himself and his band seven Grammy awards. Metallica is considered one of the best-known heavy metal bands and has produced many hugely popular albums, including its self titled album that sold 15 million copies. Four of Metallica's albums reached number one on the Billboard 200 and their combined record sales for all the albums are somewhere around 95 million. If you are a guitar player and would love to replicate Kirk Hammett's rock star success, take some tips from the man himself.

Hammett possesses a true love for playing the guitar and for music in general. This might explain why he claims to play his guitar 361 days out of the year. If you are looking for guitar tips from Hammett, the first one is to practice obsessively. Hammett started playing the guitar when he was 15 with an unimpressive guitar that he got from a Montgomery Ward catalogue. He decided he needed an amp to go with his guitar so he made one out of a shoebox and a four-inch speaker. Eventually, he got a job as a dishwasher at Burger King to finance his musical inclination. It wasn't too long before Hammett was able to upgrade to a Fender Stratocaster, and then moved on to his favorite of all time, a 1974 Gibson flying V. Another hint from Hammett is that you don't have to be in possession of the best equipment available. You just have to start somewhere and work with what you have until you get better and can upgrade. Hammett definitely didn't start out with the fanciest music gear, but his love of music and playing the guitar kept him going.

Hammett is a man who is constantly curious and interested in learning new things. He is quoted as saying "a life lived unexplored is a life not worth living." This character trait played out well for him on a few levels in his guitar career. His curiosity kept him experimenting with different techniques on his guitar in a quest to develop something truly unique. This brought about the "Frankenstein" technique that Hammett invented by using different pick-up and amp combinations. After Hammett joined Metallica, his desire to learn and explore gave him the motivation to join the ranks of some other guitar greats and take guitar lessons from Joe Satriani. This was a great move for his career because it bettered his skills as a well-rounded musician when he learned to play jazz, classical and blues from Satriani.

Lastly, Kirk Hammett is a humble guy. One night at 3:15 in the morning when he was touring with Metallica and staying in a hotel room, he composed the famous riff that is included in Metallica's most popular single "Enter Sandman". "Enter Sandman" was the first single from Metallica's self-titled album, which sold 15 million copies. Hammett could have considered himself a big time, accomplished musician at this point and stopped trying to improve his craft. However, even after Metallica's huge success, Hammet had the humility to admit that there was plenty more that he could learn about guitars. He enrolled in guitar classes at the local city college in San Francisco to continue improving his skills and working on his craft.

Overall, Kirk Hammett is a passionate guitar player who is consistent with his practice and devoted to learning and improving his skills. He remains humble even after the great success of his band and his music. These traits combine to make Kirk Hammett one of the greatest guitar players of all time.

Customer Review: Why...?
So if a PS3 40GB is only $399 and a Rockband package is $170... by my calculations that comes to $569 plus tax. Why would anyone pay $649 for this? Aren't bundles supposed to save you money, not cost you more...?
Customer Review: What a rip off!!
Why would anyone buy this bundle?? These two items retail for $600, don't spend over $800 to get them together. The only reason this even got one star is because it wouldn't let me leave it at none.

Not sure what's happening with me on this one, but it seems like the more I listen to it, the better 20/20 gets. This CD simply put is one of Spyro Gyra's best to date.

Refreshingly, this was one of those CDs I was able to just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

The nice thing about a CD like this is with this level of talent even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite style you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the group.

Overall 20/20 is an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up and is most definitely a worthy addition to any Smooth Jazz collection. Truly an outstanding Smooth Jazz CD. One of those that is completely void of any wasted time, as each track is simply superb.

While the entire CD is outstanding the truly standout tunes are The Unwritten Letter [track 1], Three Sisters [track 4], and Rockaway To Sunset [track 10].

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 5, Sweet Baby James. What a nice track!

Fender Stratocaster Guitar Die-Cut Wit & Wisdom Magnet

Paper House Productions combined this top selling image with an inspirational and humorous quote to create a perfect magnet for refrigerators, lockers and file cabinets. Heavy duty magnet perfect for high traffic areas.

"One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain."

Measures approximately 2.75" x 3.25". Ships in an attractive gift sleeve.

Just as there are highly talented musical acts that never make the big time, there are musical acts that make the big time, only to never go anywhere. Some of these acts make the big time and make a fool of themselves, while others make the big time, make an impact, and make a quick getaway. Some are lucky enough to have at least one hit, while others are stuck with a few mediocre hits that come back to haunt them decades later. Some are loved for a while, only to fall from grace quickly, and some just never gain acceptance. The following is our list of the top five busted musicians, bands and solo acts who sang the wrong tune.

Milli Vanilli: Ah, Milli Vanilli. Just like our parents remember where they were when Elvis died, those of us who were children of the 1980s remember where we were when Milli Vanillis secret came out. The singers that brought us Girl You Know Its True, Milli Vanilli won a Grammy in 1990 for Best New Artist. This, however, was short lived after it was revealed that their talent had less to do with music, and more to do with lip singing. Still, those of us who were true fans didnt blame it on the duo; we blamed it on the rain.

Ashley Simpson: While performing on Saturday Night Live in fall of 2004, Ashley Simpson was caught pulling a Milli Vanilli when it was revealed she wasnt actually singing. This was followed by an ill-received performance at the Orange Bowl and a slug of condemnation. Still, Ashley Simpson has two huge things working for her: shes released two number one albums and shes young enough to bounce back from any criticism accrued. Plus, she can benefit from having her manager, who also happens to be her father, on her side. He seems just a tad crazy.

O-Town: A group that came together through the reality series, Making of the Band, O -Town got on the literal band wagon just a bit too late. As the boy band fad started to fade into the night, O-Town found that they were unable to gain substantial success. The group was together for only a short time and though they did release two albums, O-Town disappeared from the scene as quickly as they came into it. This is, however, old potatoes: the manager of the group, Lou Pearlman, apparently has more pressing worries on his mind.

Eddie Murphy: We love his stand up, we love his movies, we even love when he lends his voice to an animated donkey. We just dont love his music. Though he can actually hold a note quite well, the songs Eddie Murphy released have to be tunes that even he looks back on and sayswha??? Still, Eddie did have two hits with Put Your Mouth on Me and Party all the Time. The latter song was voted, in 2004, as number eight on the list of 50 Worst Songs of All Time by Blender magazine.

Gerardo: After playing the part of Ricky in the film, Cant Buy me Love, Gerardo Mejia became a singersort of. He was known more for his sexy appearance, his six packed abs, and his dance talent than he was for his booming voice. Still, he reached the top of the charts with his hit Rico Suave, a hit that admit it you know youve sang along with. One of the first performers to merge Latin and English, Gerardo occasionally calls himself the Latin Frank Sinatra. Uh.right.

Fender Standard Stratocaster Pickguard - Gold

Guitar Replacement Pickguard. Made by Fender.

One of the really nice things about Fender instruments is that you can change the look of your instrument with relative ease.

One of the easiest ways to accomplish this is to replace the pickguard! Fender offers a variety of pickguards with different pickup configurations and materials to help you add a personal touch to your favorite Fender instrument. This 3-Ply, 11 Hole Pickguard is for 3 single coil pickups.

Fits:

• American, American Standard, Hot Rod and Deluxe Series Stratocasters (USA)
• Standard, Deluxe and '70s Stratocasters (Mexico)

History
There were other solid body electric guitars before the Fender Telecaster guitar. But the Tele, as it sometimes known, was invented in 1940s by Leo Fender and others in California. Leo later created the successful Stratocaster guitar. The body of the Telecaster is a solid one piece design.

Body
The Telecaster is a single cutaway guitar. A cutaway is an indentation or scallop in the guitar body, where the neck joins the body. Since the Telecaster is a single cutaway, it has only one cutaway below the neck where it meets the body. This cutaway provides room for the guitar player's hand to occupy when playing notes "high" on the neck.

Neck
The Telecaster had a one piece maple neck, one of Fender's many innovative design and manufacturing techniques. Today the Tele is available in maple and rosewood fretboard models.

Pickups
Originally Fender sold a single pickup guitar called the Esquire. A short time later a two pickup version of the guitar was named the Broadcaster. However, the Gretsch company objected due to their line of Broadkaster drums and Fender renamed his guitar The Telecaster. The Telecaster has two single coil pickups, as opposed to the double coil "humbucking" pickups found on some other guitars such as those by Gibson. The pickup nearest the bridge is mounted in a slanted position. The Telecaster had a three position switch to select the pickups. Musicians and Fender have tried other pickup combinations on the Tele, including using double coil or "humbucking" pickups.

Bridge
The bridge has three adjustable saddles carrying two strings each. For many years the Tele was available with a large chrome cover, Fender seems to have omitted this on many models recently. A popular add-on for the Telecaster is called the B-bender. This attachment allowed a smooth bend of the pitch of the B string, simulating the sound of a steel guitar. This was, of course, popular with country musicians.

Company History
Fender had a troubled history after CBS bought it 1965. However, Fender management bought out the company in 1985 and restored the company's prestige and reputation as a manufacturer of quality musical instruments.

Future
Today there are numerous models of American Standard Telecasters available from Fender in various price ranges. Its popularity and Fender's renovation guarantee a successful future for the Telecaster.

I like to play guitar, talk about guitars, and collect them. So many guitars, so little money!

I can describe the latest release from Heavy Metal super group Alice In Chains for you with just one word Outstanding!

I wish it werent the case but, its not everyday that I get a CD for review that I can just pop in and comfortably listen to from beginning to end. There is usually a song or two that I just cant force myself to get through. Not at all the case with Dirt. Every track is enjoyable and was pretty easy for me to listen to from start to finish.

Dirt is a pleasantly varied, mix of 13 tracks that are very well written and brilliantly performed songs by these clearly superb musicians. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Clearly drawing from what I can only imagine are their own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, and the pain of failed relationships can certainly be heard.

Overall Dirt is excellent from beginning to end. One of those CDs that after a few listens the songs are just etched into your memory. A must have for the Heavy Metal fan. Really spectacular from beginning to end.

While the entire album is really very good the truly standout tunes are track 2 - Dam That River, track 4 - Down In A Hole, and track 13 - Would?.

My Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 1 - Them Bones. Great track!

Collecting guitars for so many people is not just a hobby, but a passion. Most of the greatest guitar collectors know how much the hobby has changed over the past 10 years or so, but it is still possible to begin a "career" in guitar collecting if that is what you choose to do. Although you can no longer walk into any pawn shop in Hollywood and buy a Les Paul or Stratocaster for less than $100, it is still possible to find a good deal on a vintage guitar.

The think you have to realize is that you are going to find the best deals on a vintage guitar if you buy only American guitars. It isn't to say that other countries such as Japan do not make a great guitar, but the vintage market is best for American made guitars. You will then be able to buy a guitar that will increase in value over the years. Also, the reputation of the American made guitars, especially the older ones, is increasing. It used to be that people looked down on the 1970's Stratocasters but now you can find them sold on auction sites for thousands of dollars. It is the same thing with 1980's Gibson guitars which were once thought of as poor quality replicas.

This is simply because of buyer's demand. After all of the "desirable" guitars have all been bought up, the collectors go to whatever is left that will command attention. So that is why if you want to find a real deal on vintage guitars that will increase in value you should buy guitars that collectors are currently not paying much attention to. That way, by the time they get around to these guitars, they will be worth a great deal of money. For example, you may not want to go with Fender Mustangs or Gibson Melody Makers which are already desirable. Instead you should go with student models that haven't been noticed yet.

An example of this would be the Fender Bullet. It is still popular in brand name but it is considered to be a student model guitar. You can still find great deals on the ones that were made in the early 1980's but they are garnering attention now which will make them hugely popular in a few years. Fender also put out other great American made student models such as the Lead I, II and III which you can still buy for less than $300.

Gibson is also another collectible brand. Granted the Melody Makers are already expensive but the Kalamazoo line hasn't been tapped out yet. Similar to the Melody Makers you can find them for less than $100 and have a great guitar in which to invest in for later on. In general if you stick with Gibson and Fender and watch out for the less talked about student models you are already finding deals that will appreciate in value over the years. But more so you are finding quality made guitars that are great to look at, wonderful to play sometimes and have a nice background to them.

Many guitar enthusiasts visiting my website are interested in learning more about guitar chords. So, I thought this would be a good subject for me to give you some pointers on...

There are literally hundreds of guitar chords, plus, the fretboard enables one to use several different fingering combinations to play them. Memorizing every chord can seem like a daunting task for the beginning as well as the more "seasoned" guitarist.

But don't fret! I've put together some tips that will help speed up your chord learning curve!

First of all, it's important to keep things simple when you are just starting to learn how to play guitar. Try to get a good understanding of the basic "open" chords used in and around first position (by "open chords I'm referring to chords that contain a lot of open strings vs. bar chords, etc.)

• Begin with the Major, Minor and Dominant 7th chords in the common keys of: C G D A and E.
• Memorize them all!
• Practice using them in chord progressions and songs.

These basic chord shapes will help you learn how to play other chords up and down the neck. Let me explain...

Chords are made from triads. This simply means that there are 3 tones taken from a given scale to create a chord. So, when you are playing a basic triad guitar chord you are only using 3 notes, or tones, even though you may be strumming all 6 strings. The cool thing is, triads are moveable chord shapes. So wherever you place them on the neck of the guitar, you have a chord.

EXAMPLE:

The 3 tones of the A Major chord are: A C# E

If you take the A Major (triad) chord and move the whole shape up 1/2 step on the neck, you will have an A# chord. If you move another 1/2 step higher, you will have a B Major (triad) chord. If you move down 1/2 from B Major you will have Bb (A# & Bb are on the same fret).

Be careful only to strum the fretted notes of the chord. Do not to play the open strings if the tones are not in the chord. If you want to add another string it must be one of the notes in the triad- open or fretted.

This same phenomenon occurs when using the E Major triad chord shape.

The 3 tones of E Major are: E B G#

As with A Major chord, this triad can be moved up and down the neck. Again, be sure not to play any open notes when you move up the neck unless it's in the triad. Remember, if you wish to add more strings, you must use one of the notes in the triad.

This is also a moveable chord shape. The name of the chord is found in the 4th and the first string.

Whenever you use either of these shapes to play a chord anywhere on the neck, you will have a Major chord. Now you can play a wide variety of natural, sharp or flat chords in any key! Remember what I said- knowledge is power!

Customer Review: Excellent to do business with in every way
These guys are great to deal with. I had a very minor issue which was NOT their fault, and they went above and beyond to fix it. I would be happy to do business with them again any time.... and I hope you do as well. thank you 99volts!

In This Issue (14 Jul 08)

1. Kenny Inks A Deal
2. A Million Dollar Show
3. Tonight it's Conan ... Tomorrow it's Yankee Stadium
4. So How Is The 08 Tour Shaping Up?
5. What Does Kenny, Bob Jovi and Clapton have in common?
6. Some Poets & Pirates Stats from Kenny's Promoter, Louis Messina
7. When The Transformation began
8. A new CD In Support Of Military Kids
9. Kenny comments on his latest #1
10. Kenny One on One Interview with Jon Waterhouse

1. Hi folks;

Looks like Kenny and TMG/AEG Live will be in business together starting in 09 and right through until 2013. The deal has to do with Kenny's future tours and will pay Kenny based on the amount of tickets that could be sold vs the number of tickets actually sold.

So TMG/AEG will have to ensure there are bums in the seats and Kenny can just focus on what he does best ... entertain! The deal has nothing to do with any recordings or merchandise, concert tours and events.

2. Yes, in order to get Kenny to perform at the recent County Fest, festival promoters coughed up a cool million to Kenny to appear. In 03 they paid Kenny $325,000, so to cover the increase, fans this year had to pay as much as $130 to see Kenny perform. There were mixed reviews on the hefty price.

3. Don't miss tonight's episode of Late Night With Conan O'Brien as Kenny will make a guest appearance.

Tomorrow Kenny will take in the All Star game at Yankee Stadium and his Poets & Pirates Tour crosses over the midway point.

"It's cool to be able to get back to Conan," Kenny says. "And for me, getting to go to the All-Star Game and be up close the way I'm going to get to be, well, those aren't the kinds of things I don't think any of us really dream of doing."

4.
Here are the stats so far in 08 according to Pollstar's Top 10

1. Bon Jovi - $56.3 Million
2. Bruce Springsteen & the E Street Band - $40.8 Million
3. Van Halen ($36.8 million
4. Kenny Chesney ($35.3 million
5. Michael Buble ($32.5 million
6. Kanye West ($31.6 million
7. Jay-Z/Mary J. Blige ($30.7 million
8. Rascal Flatts ($25.4 million
9. & 10 - Spice Girls and The Police at about $23.3 million each.

5. They have all joined Master Cards "Roots Of Rock Sweepsteaks" which will allow one lucky winner for each artist to see where it all began for that artist. For Kenny fans, it will be a trip to Nashville, where they will get a guided tour of all of the famous spots during Kenny's career. The winner and 3 guests will also get an intimate performance from Kenny in Knoxville.

Kenny said; "It was an honor to be considered with this company. At this level, it's hard to bring people into your music on this kind of level. But winning the sweepstakes and experiencing the Nashville I came to, that will put you not just inside the songs, but inside how the dream happened."

The promotion is on now and runs through August. Every time a user uses their Master Card they are entered automatically. If you use PayPal, you're entered twice. Non-card holders can enter online. Priceless.com has a section called Tour The Town where you can get tidbits of little known info on all artists early beginnings.

6. Each show costs $1.4 million to put on (excluding fuel and talent cost)
The vehicles on Kenny's tour get 3-5 miles per gallon
Fuel was budgeted at $2.85 per gallon
Kenny has some section seats, called "Shiftwork Seats", priced between $10-$30

Kenny said, "I grew up in East Tennessee, lower middle class, and that's the demographic of the country now that's struggling the most. That's also my audience, and I don't want anyone who wants to come to the show to be unable to afford it."

7. Kenny used to play a lot of golf, eat a lot of pizza, drink a lot of beer and ate a lot of Waffle House.

But in 1997 he changed gears and began working out with a personal trainer. That trainer, known as Daniel Burns, travels with Kenny on tour to make sure he stays on track.

"If hadn't been for golf," he joked, "this might have never happened."

8. Kenny and many other artists have contributed to a new CD entitled Patriotic 3, which is a charity album to raise awareness for Military Kids. The program provides assistance to kids who's parents have been deployed or injured and recovering.

Here is the list of performances found on the CD.

"A Lot Of Things Different," Kenny Chesney
"Letters From Home," John Michael Montgomery
"Blessed," Martina McBride
"My Front Porch Looking In," Lonestar
"Politically Uncorrect," Gretchen Wilson
"I'm From The Country," Tracy Byrd
"One More Day," Diamond Rio
"The Last Of A Dying Breed," Neal McCoy
"Long Arm Of The Law," Kenny Rogers
"The Fightin' Side Of Me," Merle Haggard and The Strangers
"Not Me," Keni Thomas
"God Bless America," LeAnn Rimes
"If I Don't Make It Back," Tracy Lawrence
"America," Waylon Jennings
"What Say You," Travis Tritt
"Everyday America," Sugarland
"Heroes And Friends," Randy Travis

9. Speaking Live on the national radio show GAC Nights, Kenny recently stated;

"I am that guy in 'Better as a Memory. I think this is a letter that I've written three or four times in my life to people, because at that point in my life when I wrote those letters, I was in such a focused period. I was a very zoned-in person on doing this out here, and you know, like the old Mac Davis song, 'Baby Baby Don't Get Hooked on Me,' you know, this is kind of that song, but in a little bit deeper of a way. When I wrote those letters, I was better as a memory than as their man, I promise you."

Left Handed Stratocaster Electric Guitar Metal Belt Buckle

In the current world of investing for the future, one sure way to beat inflation and devaluation of the bond market is to put your money in vintage electric guitars. The demand for original flying v or Paul McCartney left handed guitars continues to rise in spite of recessions.

Especially in demand are vintage Gibson hollow-body, Fender's vintage sunburst Stratocaster and vintage Fender guitar amplifiers. Nostalgia for early rock is only one reason for the high valuation of vintage guitars and accompanying guitar equipment. The main reason demand is so high for vintage guitars is the sound they produce is as unique as the instrument itself.

Decades ago, when vintage guitars were new, the technology to produce them was in its early stages and many of the electric pick-ups had to be hand-wound or if they were machine made, each was just a little different. A few less strands of wire in the pick-ups caused a little different sound. The bodies were not completely uniform either, making the sound-box on each just a little different from the next guitar being made. As a result, each guitar was just a little unique. Additionally, over time, the electronics degraded a little causing even more difference and variation from instrument to instrument.

Original Fender guitar amplifiers were made with tubes and not with current "solid-state" circuitry. Tubed amps, like Fender and Epiphone vintage amplifiers had unique sounds which cannot be made with the cleaner Marshall or Yamaha solid-state amplifiers on the market today. Those with good ears can tell a guitarist playing vintage guitars and on vintage amplifiers.

When buying a vintage guitar or vintage amplifier, look for low Fender serial numbers on the back of the body. Review serial number ranges from web-sites of Fender, Epiphone, Gibson, Jackson, and Yamaha to find when the vintage guitar you are considering was made. Knowing as much about your investment will assure its continued increase in value.
Vintage Guitars as an Investment

One sure way to beat inflation and present devaluation of the bond market to invest for the future is to put your money in vintage electric guitars. Paul McCartney left handed guitars and original flying v guitars will have demand in spite of recessions.

Vintage Gibson hollow-body, Fender's vintage sunburst Stratocaster and vintage Fender guitar amplifiers are especially in demand. The high valuation of vintage guitars and accompanying guitar equipment is not just driven by nostalgia for early rock. The unique sound produced by vintage guitars is the main reason demand is so high for older guitars.

Each guitar was just a little bit different when these vintage guitars were made decades ago and the technology to produce them was in its early stages. Many of the electric pick-ups were hand-wound, or if they were machine-made, just a little different from the next. If the pick-ups had a few less strands of wire, the sound would be just a little different. Sound boxes as part of the bodies were not made exactly uniform either, making the guitars sound just a little different from same product lines making each guitar just a little unique. Finally, the electronics degraded over time causing each instrument to be a little different from the next.

Marshall and Yamaha solid-state amplifiers on the market today are cleaner, unlike original Fender guitar amplifiers which were made with tubes. Fender and Epiphone tubed vintage amplifiers had tonal qualities that are prized because they are not "clean", but sound unique. Guitarists playing vintage guitars and vintage amplifiers can be identified by those with good ears.

Look for low Fender serial numbers on the back of the body when buying a vintage guitar or vintage amplifier. Web-sites of Fender, Epiphone, Gibson, Jackson Guitars and Yamaha vintage guitars will guide you to when a specific vintage serial number occurred which will help you in your purchase as to when it was made and possibly for whom. In order to be sure your investment will continue to increase in value, know as much as possible before making the decision to buy a vintage electric guitar.

In these uncertain times invest and have a ton of fun to boot. Vintage Gibson guitars are an excellent way to beat that hedge. Not only is it profitable but also fun to own commemorative and rare electric guitars.

An electric guitar can have any number of a range of extra features, accessories and gadgets used to adjust, distort and affect the sound that it produces. But one item is an absolute necessity: no electric guitar can be performed or make any decent sound without an amplifier. A good quality amplifier can make a huge difference, and if you are looking to buy an electric guitar, or perhaps move on from a basic starter model, then a good quality and flexible amplifier unit to match the guitar will make all the difference. After all, it is the guitar which produces the signal, but the amplifier which makes the sound. It would be the same as considering a choir and the conductor. Both are important, but no matter how good the conductor, it is the choir which ultimately make the sound, and have the greatest impact on the eventual quality of sound heard.

Amplifiers that were created specifically for an instrument were first developed as part of the electric guitar development, and it was these instruments which first benefited from any kind of external amplification. These early units were developed in the 1930s, and it was the advent of more advanced electrics that enabled amplification units to be built that were both economic and of good quality. Of course, the amplification of guitars had been around for much longer, but simply for acoustic guitars, with microphones set up. The combination of electronic amplification units coupled to electric guitars gave rise to a whole new sound of music, originally popularised by the steel stung sound of the Hawaiian guitar.

Early amplifiers were fairly basic, and although they often had a range of controls, these didn't provide a wide range of controls to improve sound quality. Generally the early amplifiers were very good at boosting the treble signal, but the bass notes were poor, and the response was slow. As these early models developed, extra features were included such as reverberation effects and tremolo units.

In fact, Fender introduced an amplification unit which included a tremolo effect, although through an error of misunderstanding this was labelled as 'vibrato', with the lever included on the Stratocaster guitar which actually produced the vibrato effect labelled as 'tremolo'. These incorrect labels stuck, however, and today the most popular way of referring to the tremolo effect is through the word vibrato, and the vibrato effect is usually referred to as tremolo. This is why music written for electric guitar has these words used quite differently from music written for other instruments.

Many of these earlier models of amplifier could be reasonably easily overloaded, and some guitarists took to deliberately achieving this effect, creating a range of distortion effects. Indeed, it was Dave Davies, guitarist with the Kinks who first introduced a distortion effect which involved him connecting the output from one of his amplifiers into the input section of a second amplifier. This distortion effect created a unique, wailing sound, and was one which, whilst the designers at the time could never have imagined, was later introduced by many other performers and amplifier designers. Distortion effects today are so prevalent that it almost seems a requirement that a guitarist can produce such a sound within many genres of music.

Customer Review: Why...?
So if a PS3 40GB is only $399 and a Rockband package is $170... by my calculations that comes to $569 plus tax. Why would anyone pay $649 for this? Aren't bundles supposed to save you money, not cost you more...?
Customer Review: What a rip off!!
Why would anyone buy this bundle?? These two items retail for $600, don't spend over $800 to get them together. The only reason this even got one star is because it wouldn't let me leave it at none.

So you’ve decided to take up the guitar. Excellent! You’re about to undertake a journey that will change your life forever. Really. The two most important decisions you make next will be selecting an instrument and selecting an instructor. This article deals with the former.

The $1,000,000 Question – Electric or Acoustic This choice is largely determined by the type of music you want to play. Some genres, like blues and certain popular styles, are well suited to either instrument. But others are fairly specific to either electric or acoustic. Traditional folk, for example would dictate an acoustic guitar while most jazz and rock styles would warrant an electric. And if you’re interest is in classical playing, the choice is clearly an acoustic with nylon strings. So the first step in choosing a guitar is identifying the type of music that you’re most interested in playing. Then listen to a few players that you like and see if they’re playing electric or acoustic instruments.

Full Size or Student If you are younger than 10-years old or have exceptionally small hands, consider getting a smaller than standard instrument. It will make learning easier and you’ll be more inclined to practice if you aren’t struggling with the instrument every time you pick it up. All of the major guitar makers produce student or travel-sized guitars so you shouldn’t have any trouble finding one.

New or Used Your money will go a lot farther on a used instrument than on one that’s new. If you can find a well-maintained used guitar that fits your needs, you should consider it seriously. But be sure that it is in good shape and is what it’s purported to be. Some unscrupulous individuals sell counterfeit versions of name-brand guitars at ridiculously low prices on the used market. Be wary of any deal that seems too good o be true and consider taking any used guitar to a pro for an inspection before laying down your cash.

How Much to Spend The low-end guitar market has made great leaps in quality over the past 15 years. There are reasonably well-built instruments, both electric and acoustic, available for under $150 new. But the cheapest isn’t always the best bargain. A beginner needs to have a guitar that stays in tune, plays fairly easily and is comfortable to use. When selecting your guitar, make sure that it meets those criteria.

In Conclusion Every instrument is different. The more you try out, the more you’ll know what you like and what you don’t. Ask your friends who already play what they like or dislike about their guitars. And listen to the advice of those who have been through the process. But in the end, you will be spending countless hours with it, so pick the instrument that appeals to you.

Customer Review: The shrunken Strat
Really nice. I got the sunburst strat model, and the paint on the diecast body shows woodgrain. One detractor though, mine could have used a little more red in the sunburst - almost looks like the two tone fifties sunburst pattern - but I am just nitpicking. The things is beautiful. I think they should offer a fifties strat with a maple fretboard......
Customer Review: Mini Strat
This is a great looking collectible! A perfect looking tiny strat, right down to the last detail. I love the look of the finish - just like the real thing! I also love the wall hanger - it looks just like a regular guitar wall hanger, only small! Great detail and craftmanship in this item!

Looking for a little to learn to play piano from an Internet product? Here are top 10 things to look for in online piano lessons:

1. Basic notation. When looking for online piano lessons, one of the top 10 things to look for in online piano lessons is the very basics at the least. While you may think that learning the names of notes and where they exist on a keyboard will suffice, quality piano lessons will teach you much more. Quality basic lessons will teach for example, the staff and clef; note names, location, and duration; sharps and flats; and scales and octaves. By the time you've finished basic notation lessons, you should be able to play the simplest songs quite proficiently. Later on, you'll learn about dotted notes, rests, key signatures, naturals, and more.

2. Accompanying audio or video files. Being able to watch a video or hear a demonstrative sound file is priceless when it comes to learning piano form online lessons. Be sure to seek out a service that offers either one of these.

3. Opportunities to discuss your progress with a live person. Whether this opportunity is available via email or chat, speaking to a real human about your efforts is another priceless bonus of online piano lessons. Try to find a service that offers a free forum where students are free to ask questions and where administrators take time to answer them.

4. Wide assortment of example music. There's no sense in selecting a service that teaches only one style of music! As an accomplished musician, you'll want to explore the world of piano and the only real way to do that is to experiment with various genres. So see if you can find a resource that offers not only classical lessons, but jazz piano lessons and gospel piano lessons as well.

5. Lessons on accompaniment and simple chords. Further lessons should introduce left hand activity (accompaniment) on the treble clef, basic chords, major and minor triads, and intervals.

6. Lessons on advanced notation. The advanced portion of online piano lessons should introduce note groupings, ties, triplets, expression and dynamic markings, slurs, legato, and a host of interesting Latin meanings. You may even find information about music charts, but at this point, your level of playing should definitely demonstrate more than mediocrity.

7. Lessons on advanced tricks. What would the study of piano be without a few tricks of the trade? When it's all said and done, you should be able to play trills, glissando's, and arpeggios as well.

8. Schedule to follow. Many online piano resources offer timed lessons but a growing number of them don't. Selecting the one that's most appropriate depends upon your lifestyle. Personally, we recommend that you select a service that follows a "loose" schedule. A "loose" schedule offers just enough structure to keep you on track, but it also offers enough leeway so that you aren't tied to the computer every day.

9. Actual sheet music. Wouldn't it be nice if you could print out the lessons that you're learning? Having access to your own copy of sheet music will strengthen your practicing skills when Internet access isn't available. Online lessons that offer downloadable sheet music is a must in this case.

10. Low cost. Well, who in the world wouldn't want that?!?

Learning isn't fun, I mean to most people learning is just boring - no one wants to do it.

Even more so when it comes to a musical instrument. You have things such as scales and monotonous exercises and you never seem to actually get to learning songs. Most people will not go near a piano -even though they love it, out of fear that they will not know how to play it. And the majority of the time their fear is justified.

If you are looking at getting started the typical scenario is that you walk into your teachers studio and she brings out a book of music for you to learn. And if you are luck she might teach you chord based piano - but that is highly unlikely.

This is because most music teachers think that you have to learn how to read sheet music before you are able to play. This is absolute rubbish.

Music and songs are made up of chords and progressions and this should be taught first because to learn something properly you have to understand the language of the music. Understand the chords and the music will flow from there.

Just learning to read music limits your ability to music that has already been created, by learning the chords and structures you are able to create music on demand - making up quality tunes on the spot, great for showing off to friends and families, or even just for your own entertainment.

Guitar has been an indissoluble companion of the blues music. Its forms and styles have evolved with the changing notes of the music. Slide guitar and note bending have been the most common techniques used by blues guitarists. Beginning its journey from the 12 bar blues, the blues guitar has come a long way. The existence of 8 bar and 16 bar blues guitars may be news to many a young guitar players like you. All the three forms of the blues guitar use three chords. Roman numerals are used for their description. But before we delve into the question raised by you, here is more on blues music.

The blues style music has been there since the early 19th century. It advanced as an unaccompanied vocal folk music sung by African-American laborers. This form of music has drawn influences from spiritual songs, work songs, Scott-Irish style narrative ballads and field hollers. Likewise, it has been an inspiration in the development of today's genre of music like the rock and roll, jazz etc. Blues essentially characterizes a sad form of music having influences from the dark and private lives of laborers and the difficulties of their work environment.

Even though blues essentially evolved as a vocal music, guitars have been used to enhance the spirit of its musical notes. A blues guitar makes the progress of each artist smooth by developing his unique style and temperament. Hence, don't presume it as just a harmonic or rhythmic accompaniment of a blues singer.

A variety of guitars have jeweled the blues musicians. However, your own singing style and personal preference is the last word in defining a blues guitar good for you. You may pick from the acoustic steel string instruments to resonator guitars to Fenders and Gibsons. Fender and Gibsons always get the maximum votes, as they have been the first choice of revered guitar players. Magic musician Eric Clapton has endorsed both brands - the Gibson Electro Spanish Series and the Fender Stratocaster. B.B. King and Freddie King have sung with the Gibson Electro. Both these brands stand on the pedestal together, due to their classy looks, impeccable design and construction and above all the versatility of the music that can be stringed from these models.

Fender telecaster is a good choice for country guitarists due to its bright cutting tones. Gibson Les Paul Junior might make a few people raise their eyebrows in doubt. Think again, because it gives excellent results with a P90 pick-up, used with or without an amplifier.

Go in for a Gibson Les Paul, if you are looking for a more solid-bodied blues guitar. Its tough looks with bright cutting tone of maple for the top tied to the passionate mahogany for the body, fused together, makes it an aesthetical wonder.

Go for it guys and hook your girl. Drive into a music store now and handpick that dream guitar you always wanted. I hope your search for a good blues guitar has come to an end here, without giving you as many blues as you expected elsewhere.

I hope you found this article helpful! To discover how to unlock your inner guitar god by learning electric guitar from a professional Melbourne guitar tutor, then be sure to check out: Guitar Mastery Coaching.

The Custom Shop is a wonder to behold. Imagine, getting to work on Eric Clapton's guitar and amps? Being the ONE to supervise the final model, and getting to strip off the paint for Jeff Beck or Andy Summers? The Custom Shop is a wonder all right, but only for those who can afford it. Until at least very recently, that is.

The Custom Shop has been around awhile

For most, it seems we were late to catch on to how awesome the Fender Custom Stratocasters and Telecasters really are.

Now, the Custom Shop has started making great reissues and Masterbuilt guitars available to everyone, not just superstars. In fact, they figured that what the stars ordered, well, it was just as good for everyone else, so why not run off a whole line of Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler guitars? What about a limited line of Jeff Beck signature telecasters? Sounds good to me!

There are different versions of Custom Shop guitars

You can order your own or get an Artist Series, which is the lowest model they have. I'm not even really sure Custom Shop works with these, since they are factory made.

But the king of the crop is the Custom Shop, the Tribute series, Clapton's '57 Blackie' Stratocaster, Andy Summer's limited run of Telecasters, and SRV's 'Lenny'. This is as close as you are probably going to get to the real thing. Enjoy it! Also, note, that the Signature series might not be exactly what your favorite artist plays on stage- but it's probably pretty close.

There are a number of ways to get your hands on Custom Shop models.

But I would say this to you: skip the big-box dealers. You might get lucky and find a few CS models at Guitar Center or another store, but Ebay is your best bet for quality of the Custom Shop models and the range of different Fender Custom Shop Strats and Teles that they have. Stay tuned for my article on Custom Shop Fender Relic and Heavy Relic guitars.

Do you know how much money Guitar Center MAKES off of people like you?

Did you know they use "levels" to match up the kind of gear they want you to buy with the placement of the products in the store? It's SICK! You won't find a FCS or Relic at really any GC or Sam Ash anywhere- and if you do, there is only one of them. They don't care about you. For someone who cares (that's me) I mean, cares about you (cry on my couch) you need to drop in to Fender Guitar Vault to see dozens of FCS as well as the ULTRA Rare Relic series. I mean, why would I lie about Fender selection? :)

Fender 1/6 Scale Mini Stratocaster

The legendary and venerable Fender Stratocaster guitar took guitar design to a higher level and became the voice of rock n roll. Featuring a comfort-contoured body, three single-coil pickups, and a synchronized tremolo system the Strat guitar has become the most popular guitar ever built. This 1/6 scale model guitar comes packaged on a blister card with many accessories including 3 mini picks, strap, shield, transmitter and guitar stand. (NOT PLAYABLE - For DISPLAY ONLY)
Customer Review: Mini Strat
I play a Stratocaster as my main guitar, and I even prefer it over my Les Paul, so I was intriguigued by a miniature Strat. I was expecting something similar to a Strat, but when I got it I was totally jazzed. The detail is unreal. They had gone to great effort to make everything exactly like the real one. It even has a pack of three picks. One thing is put it in a safe place to display it because in making the details in scale it is very delicate. I'm very careful not to damage it because it is a prize display I show to everyone who comes to my house. If you like guitars and unique detailed collectibles check it out. You'll love it. I do.

Most young people at some stage experiment with playing a musical instrument, for some it's a brief journey, while for others it's a life time of adventure. Many who start to play an instrument learn to play the electric guitar. The popularity of this instrument could be for several reasons, relative cheapness of instruments, abundance of teaching methods, but above all electric guitars have "the cool factor" that inspires many people to take it up and play.

Although essentially the same instrument as an acoustic guitar, the electric versions differ in one fundamental way. The difference being that they require electric powered amplifiers for them to operate successfully. While acoustic guitars rely on the cavity within the body to resonate and create the sound and volume, electric guitars make use of pickups and amplifiers to propel the sound. There are overlaps to this definition, for example Archtops, a class of electric guitar, are manufactured with hollow bodies. This allows for the same acoustic resonance produced by acoustic guitars.

Electric guitars have the ability to offer a very specialized sound compared to that of an acoustic version, this is down to the large range of effects pedals and special effect modules available. Electric guitars, unlike their acoustic counterparts, have a poor sustain, but with effects such as overdrive increased sustain is possible to achieve. Other effects including flanger and distortion give rise to sounds that are very popular with rock bands, as well as with the heavy metal music genre.

They also benefit from not being hindered by the regular design of their acoustic cousins, Electric guitars can be shaped in various different ways, allowing for creative designs like the "Flying V" and more comfortable playing. More traditional designs include the Gibson Les Paul and Fender Stratocaster style, a design most people are familiar with.

The differences aren't just in the body design, compared to acoustic guitars; the strings of an electric guitar are typically thinner. This is due to the fact that they don't really need to resonate as much as the strings in the acoustic versions do. Electric guitar strings are also closer to the guitar's neck, which requires less effort to press them down.

Another class of electrified guitar is the electric bass. This has all the same dynamics, but only has four strings. The strings on an electric bass guitar are considerably thicker compared to the standard gauge of electric guitars; this allows them to play really low notes.

When it comes to learning the guitar most beginners like the idea of playing an electric version as it seems to offer instant fun. Whatever you decide to learn set your budget, get yourself an instrument you feel comfortable with along with some easy to follow guitar tutorials. And most importantly of all, have fun playing.

Everything!

Customer Review: Good stuff
Everything I had hoped for from the Tones and more. Makes you miss the halcyon days in which this lively and innovative music was made. A great job of packaging too - a really solid collection including the pop stuff and the fun oddities.
Customer Review: One of the greatest ever
As much as I love music and all it has to offer, nothing has ever struck and stuck with me like TOT. I owned the POP album on vinyl, and I played it time and time again. Absolutely brilliant! I adore Love and Rockets, and I think Bauhaus are OK (a bit overrated), but this was a true gem. You absolutely must listen to "Rain". Greatest song ever composed in my opinion. I can't stress enough how wonderful this song is. It opens up with ambient organ and guitar (which is e-bowed, a method used throughout their songs), and then it morphs brilliantly into the singing and structure. Lyrically it is stunning, and I tell you the music will just stick with you. Just a beautiful song!

Madonna's 2008 Sticky and Sweet tour is packing out stadiums across Europe, in readiness for her tour that will be unleashed here in October. Her shows have been selling well, and many shows are near sell-outs. In Los Angeles, her only show is scheduled for 6 November 2008 and will be held at Dodger Stadium, and if you act quickly you can snare some tickets at reasonable prices.

Her latest album, Hard Candy, debuted at number one across the globe, has been dominating the charts since it's release on April 25, 2008. The Queen of Pop's album features vocal appearances by today's hottest pop artists such as Justin Timberlake and Kanye West. The producers of the album are the highly respected Timbaland and Pharrell Williams who receive both performance and production credits on the album.

And what are we to expect in LA? It will be the usual stunning array of music, stage antics, dancing and a song list that goes back to 1984!! During her Paris show, always the one to stir up a bit of controversy, Madonna tried a bit of push-it-to-the-edge sexual antics by kissing one of the female dancers, or one of the female audience members. Swigging champagne bottle she yelled at the crowd "Who do you love more, me or the Rolling Stones?"

The Material Girl always puts on an amazing concert, and this is one show not to be missed. Her current single with Justin Timberlake has hit the top of the charts all around the world. It seems the world can't get enough of this amazing lady, half way through her third decade of constantly reinventing herself and of being a superstar. And her catalog of songs is awesome including "Like a Prayer", "Vogue", "Get into the Groove" and "Holiday".

You can still obtain those tickets for Madonna in LA if you follow the link below.
