Diet Tips - For Singers

By Razile Dalap

Like a singer, your major tool is your body. If you don't take excellent care of yourself, eating the best foods and exercising, your voice will weaken just as fast as any other muscle in your body. So, what foods should a singer deal with, and what should they avoid? Let's take a closer look.

Proper Hydration

A massive focus of a singer's diet is on proper hydration. Why hydration? Because your vocal cords must stay loose and moist at any time and most of the effort of singing comes from internal muscles, working continually.

Dried out vocal cords triggers them to constrict, and can result in hoarseness or scratchiness in your throat. It can completely hurt to sing if you're dehydrated. In addition, your muscles will grow weak and rigid without enough water.

If you keep on to drink coffee, you'll need to boost your diet with at least a gallon of water a day, ensuring you remain fully hydrated at all times. By itself, caffeine is not a danger, but insufficient water it creates can be problematic.

Nutrition

Okay, so you need a lot of water. What about the food, while? Like any athlete, you will be using a lot of fuel when you perform. Not only does it take many muscles to sing efficiently, you'll likely be moving around on the stage.

So, you will need fuel full of nutrients, and a strong stamina to avoid unnecessary lassitude. Raw foods are best for this, with lots of fruit to provide early morning sugar boosts, and raw vegetables and salads to produce energy later in the day.

Some people prefer enough protein to keep their muscles moving, but you should avoid oily foods like beef or pork. Rather, eat white chicken or fish. Tofu is another great option because of its low fat content material and high vitamin and nutrient content.

Your body is your most useful asset as a singer. Take good care of it and you will be awarded with a stronger, more natural singing voice.

This Concert Left Me Fascinated And Wanting To Take An Acoustic Guitar Lesson

By Jimmy Q. Stage

The other night, I was sitting at home, not expecting much to happen. I figured I'd watch some TV, eat some potato chips, have a few beers, and call it a night. Then a couple of buddies of mine unexpectedly showed up, telling me that I absolutely had to go with. I couldn't help but agree, due to their incredible enthusiasm.

We were speeding down this windy mountain road in my friends VW Beetle. I didn't think those things could go that fast. They kept playing these guitar based rock and roll songs on the radio. I guess we were warming up for something. What I had no idea.

We finally pulled up to this deserted looking mountain cabin, in the middle of nowhere. There were maybe a couple hundred cars parked outside. We finally found a place to park, and made our way inside. What I saw was surprising, to say the least.

The inside was clean, and had several chairs set up that were facing a huge stage up in front. There was an area directly in front of stage with no chairs, so people could get up close to the stage. When we got there, there was still some space, so we pushed our way into the stage.

Then, suddenly, without warning, this band shows up on stage, and starts playing the most incredible music I've ever heard. It was a cross between modern rock and country. The lead singer, who also played the acoustic guitar, played some exceptional solos that would give Jimmy Page a run for his money. After about three hours, they decided to call it quits.

Finally, after a really long jam session, they started giving out copies of their CDs. I guess they just signed this huge recording contract, and this was there way of thanking their loyal fans. It was a night I'll never forget.

Exercises: Sing 'On Key

By Razile Dalap

One of many earliest lessons you'll get after proper breathing and posture is how to "sing on key". Originally, all but the most musically gifted singers won't have the natural "ear" for music that lets them to hear when they are on or off key.

Before You Start

Before you do anything, you must ensure your body has been carefully taught how to prepare for singing. It's like basics in sport. Without the ability to mindlessly dribble the basketball, a player will never learn how to crossover or pass.

Matching Pitch

For most people, it's just a matter of practice. With enough time singing and listening to your notes, you should manage to develop a strong, regular singing voice on key.

To start with, you'll need an instrument. This will provide the reference you need to recognize notes and sing along with them. Whether you know how to read music or not, you should learn how to play a few basic scales on a piano or guitar to help with this.

Now, hold a note for a couple of seconds and attempt to match your voice to the note. At first, you may not easily recognize or match them together. To help, get a recorder and begin recording each of these sessions. For each note, you should record for at least 1 minute.

Good Practice

Sadly, there are no secrets to obtaining great pitch. It's all about training. However, there are certain orders in which to practice. I recommend starting with a simple note, such as C or E and working your way up and down the scale from there.

If your voice cannot hit the note you begin with, reduce the octave by at least one so you are comfortable. Later, you can work on extending your range, but for now concentrate only on getting the notes you are comfortable with correct.

At some point, with enough practice and steady use of that voice recorder, you should be capable to pinpoint the right note almost immediately, remaining on key during irrespective of who is playing the music or what octave it is in.

Tips On How To Sing For Longer Periods Of Time

By Bern Rueda

One of many biggest challenges in singing is retaining a note for a long period of time with no losing any sound quality. Millions have difficulty with this every year, but surprisingly it only takes several small adjustments to mend the problem.

First, Your Breathing

The simple first thing to work on is your breathing. If you can't take a deep enough breath and maintain it, of course you won't be able to sing for too long. However, even before we work on holding your breath, you need to learn how to breathe thoroughly.

This starts with focusing on the act of breathing. Not only is this is a powerful training tool, it is very unwinding. Stand straight, with your shoulders back and your neck upright. Breath in through your nose and hold the breath for a while.

Now, when you discharge the breath, hiss the breath out of your body. Do this by putting the tip of your tongue against the in just your front teeth and letting air out in a hissing sound - like a pump up raft being deflated.

The objective of this exercise is to train the complete core of your body to breathe in and out satisfactorily. Eventually, you should learn how to tap into a massive reserve of air that will allow you to sustain a note far longer than when you got set up.

Practicing Notes

You should invest between 10-15 minutes every day practicing your breathing exercises, increasing your muscles and building up your stamina. Though, in short order, you'll need to start putting it to use with actual singing.

To perform this exercise, sing your scales but try holding every note a little longer than is conventional. Instead of releasing and breathing between every note, hold them for as long as you would enable the breath hiss. You can even time it with a wrist watch to be certain it is exactly the same.

Fitness, diet, and practice should blend to help you reach those absolutely lengthened notes and maintain your stamina for longer time when you go on stage next.

The first thing you'll need, of course, is an acoustic guitar. You'd be surprised how inexpensive they are. If you are just starting out, you certainly don't need a top of the line model, or even a brand new one. Classified ads are a great place to find a decent guitar for under a hundred dollars. Now that you've got your guitar, you are ready to take some lessons.

You can go about this many different ways, and it's up to how you want to learn. Some prefer to take traditional classroom based learning at community colleges. These are straightforward and easy, but if the class moves to fast or too slow you could be at a disadvantage. You could opt for a private instructor, but those can be rather expensive. Most people usually choose the self study route, as it is usually the cheapest, and most flexible. You can study and practice whenever you want.

Video Camera Tips: How To Get Amazing Sound Quality

By Grant Jacobson

Once you move from digital photography to videography as your method of recording moments either privately or as part of your occupation, you enter in in to a significantly larger world with larger troubles too. For instance, you now have to manage concerns of movement. The problems of illumination and surface noise are just as major of an issue other than now you have subjects which might be on the go and you've got to move with them.

When using a cam corder to record the celebration under scrutiny, regardless of whether it's a wedding, a speech or presentation or some other important occasion, the concern of obtaining the highest quality sound offers distinctive problems. Therefore it's far better to do a little concentrated planning on precisely how you are likely to accommodate the sound needs of the event to your gear due to the fact should you have wonderful pictures but the words and sounds of the affair are muddy or lost, then the quality of your final product is seriously damaged.

Many an unsatisfactory video has been taken with a video camera because the operator relied too heavily on the modest microphone that may be built into the casing of the unit. Really the only circumstance where this microphone could possibly be sufficient would be if you were conducting a private interview in a small room making it possible to position the video camera inside of three feet of the subject. Even then, surface noises in the encompassing building can become part of the audio outside the awareness of the operator at the time.

To assure that you have total understanding of what's going onto your video recording of every function, an investment in a good set of sealed back headphones to check the audio is an exceptional move. You are able to connect it into the camcorder and you're dynamically aware of what is going onto that recording at all times. In the event something is put in the audio tracks that's not appropriate, you may use editing techniques or even re-shoot the actual segment if that is achievable in the context of the affair.

For the majority of occasions, decide to utilize the auxiliary audio input plug to incorporate a mobile mic unit rather than count on the on board microphone in the video camera casing. This small plug alone reveals a large variety of answers to the issue of poor video camera audio that's so often endemic of video clips made with this technology.

In case you are utilizing an external microphone, know about the constraints of the cable if you are not working with a radio frequency microphone unit. In a scenario like a speaker conducting a presentation, you can set the cable down between the recorder and the speaker's stand assuming you have sufficient cable length to reach to the spot that the mic will mount on the stand. Take care with all the excess cord, probably securing it with duct tape so individuals following the business presentation do not trip on the cable or pull it free which may bring about injury and damage the equipment.

In numerous circumstances for instance one where you intend to interview individuals in a roving fashion or to record a speaker who is on the go a whole lot, a radio frequency microphone could possibly be necessary. These can be more expensive but without the investment in this technology, your sound quality relying exclusively on the camcorder built in microphone will likely be disappointing.

Post-Hardcore Music With Escape The Fate

By Missy Ray

One of today's bands who are at the forefront of the post-hardcore music scene is Escape the Fate. They are currently enjoying a surge in popularity because of their three albums to date that are being discovered by new fans worldwide. Their fame has reached into the commercial side of the music industry, as they popularized a number of categories or items, even including skeleton gloves.

Does post-hardcore music sound new to you? Well, it's not a new concept and has been around for so many years. To further dine it, post-hardcore music refers to the bands or to the songs that gained popularity after the major surge of the hardcore genre. Of course post-hardcore got its main influence from hardcore music but it also has similarities to other genre, particularly what is called the experimental rock.

Escape Fate was formed in Nevada, USA in 2004 with original members composed of Ronnie Radke as the lead vocalist, Bryan Monte Money lead guitarist, Omar Espinosa rhythm guitarist , Max Green bassist, and Robert Ortiz in drums.

They also went through a couple of band member changes, perhaps only typical with any other popular rock bands. As some might have said, it was a serious of unfortunate events that tainted the band's history but also brought forth some pleasant changes.

One of the first major setbacks they experienced was the sentencing into prison by their lead vocalist, Ronnie Radke. The band later replaced him with Craig Mabbitt.

He was followed by Carson Allen, their one-time keyboardist. Allen left them to join On The Last Day.

In 2007, it was Omar Espinosa's turn to leave. The band cited personal reasons for Omar's unprecedented departure.

To say the least, it is only a normal thing for any band to lose and gain members over a period of time. The only difference is that Escape the Fate experienced these ups and downs during the so far short existence of their band. Add to that fact that some of the band members were going through some drug addiction problems. Something they were able to solve through rehabilitation.

They currently have three albums: This War is Ours, There's No Sympathy for the Dead, and Dying is Your Latest Fashion.

As the band members themselves claim, In the This War is Ours album, the opening track "We Won't Back Down" signifies their hard-partying and hard rocking life as a rock band then based in Las Vegas. The album may also show a hint of the influence of the music from their favorite bands, Motley Crue and Guns N Roses.

Then a few years later, their 'Dying is Your Latest Fashion' album came out. That album was a feat itself for the whole band, after all they were at that time, experiencing a few personal problems. To think that they were able to produce such a good album with all that fuzz between them was truly amazing.

Now Escape the Fate continues on its moving forward into the pantheon of the rock music legend. They have stood the test of time, and even the test that they themselves have brought to their band. But they live on and will continue to create great rock music for all.

Things You Should Know About Car Accessories

By Jack Truly

The feeling of owning that dream car of yours is definitely one good experience for you to remember years in the future. However, car lovers and experienced drivers will show you that there's more to a car than just the car or its brand itself. You should have the necessary car accessories to make it perfect. So which kind of car accessories do you go for?

I think it really depends on your budget. Some car accessories only cost you one or two hundred bucks. However, some may just go as high as a few thousands dollars. If you intend to buy accessories for your car, there are many of them which you absolutely can't do without.

The very first accessory that you need to buy is your in-built car audio system. Driving without music is plain boring. So get rid of your old cassette players and install some kind of MP3 player into the car. Try and install one that's compatible with iPod.

With this audio system, you will have a huge amount of music to listen to while you're driving. If you intend to DIY and fit an iPod compatible sound system into your car, it is better for you to conduct a little research to make sure that all wiring is done properly. If you're experience enough, you are now ready to build an ultimate car sound system with a MP3 that has hundreds of songs loaded.

Besides having your audio sound system, you shouldn't forget about radio. Nowadays, there are many types of digital radio in the market that can make a good car accessory for you. If you're a radio fan, you need to seriously consider getting a digital radio.

When comparing digital radio with old-fashioned radio, the biggest advantage is that it is very clear and does not suffer from distortion easily. That means you won't need to worry about any distortion if you are driving in an underpass. However, to install an additional digital radio into your car isn't cheap. But if you really like to have quality music while you're driving, you can seriously consider installing one inside your car

The Undeniable Impact Singing Classes Might Have On Your Nipper

By Linda Hart

Music plays an important part of our everyday life. As children we sing when we are happy and as adults we sing when we feel like it, which is usually with the car radio. The voice is an instrument which has an amazing amount of versatility. Taking lessons can enable a child to perfect their voice as their instrument of choice. If you have been wondering what your child could get out of singing lessons, you will be interested in the following benefits.

We all have our own ideas of what makes it good singer. Some would say the only way you could be a good singer would be to have a natural born talent for it. This however is not true. Anyone who is willing to do the work can become a good singer.

Vocal lessons will teach children several exercises which will benefit their voice. Before they begin to belt out a song they will be taught how to warm up their voice so that it is not strained. Later they will learn exercises designed to strengthen and enhance the vocal performance.

Most parents battled the posture war with their child. Children are prone to bad posture however local lessons will require them to abandon this bad habit. In order for the singer to expel the proper amount of air from the lungs and through the vocal cords, they must hold their body properly. As an added bonus the new correct posture will also help avoid back problems later in life.

Few people realize that that eating habits can influence their voice. There are some foods such as dairy foods which should not be consumed before singing. These types of food can cause mucus to collect and make singing difficult. Students will also be advised to eat well, as a healthy body is related to a strong, healthy voice.

Oral hygiene plays a big part in how a person's voice sounds. Proper dental care such as brushing and flossing is stressed to keep a healthy mouth. Another important factor which will determine a healthy voice is smoke. Students are advised to stay away from all types of smoke, including cigarette smoke. Prolonged contact with smoke can make the voice have a low raspy sound which is unattractive.

Another thing your child will get from vocal lessons is a huge boost of self confidence. A child who was timid before will absolutely blossom after being exposed to vocal training. All of the things they learn combine to create a person who is standing upright proud and singing clearly so that everyone can hear. It is a perfect way to bring a shy child out from their shell.

Singing lessons can be of much more benefit to your children than just learning how to hold a note. It can give them skills which will follow them for the rest of their lives. Imagine seeing your child transformed from a shower with drawn individual into an outspoken and confident new creation.

Get Yourself Recorded

By Bern Rueda

I'll take a stab in the dark here and say that your greatest dream is to be recorded. Even just a home recorded demo would be necessary to show your friends and family that you're on your way to satisfying those dreams.

Self-Recording

The technology is attainable and easy to use. Most computers have enough power to record and edit audio, and the media we use can transfer it easily. If this is your path, either as a result of a lack of funds or because you're a do-it-yourself, you'll need a few things.

1. A Microphone - A plain microphone isn't enough when recording top quality audio. You need a committed input device that dampens background noise. Some microphones come with built in sound dampeners.

2. Software for Recording - The input device only captures the audio. You also need software that will record, assess, and let you to edit the audio.

3. Recording Space - In conclusion, you need somewhere quiet and private to record. While most recording artists have a sound room in their homes, you do not, and despite popular belief, a bathroom is not suitable. So, find the smallest room you can and minimize any enveloping noise.

Professional Recording Sessions

The other choice, which is becoming less common but yet carries a high level of weight, is being professionally recorded. This route calls for that you first find a good producer. A producer will be the medium between you and the recorded audio. He or she will consider of the equipment and mix your demo.

Be Prepared

Keep something in mind when prepping your demo - recording executives are more interested in quality than length. They want to listen to a handful of good songs that show you are a talented writer and performer, not an epic album. The quality of your recording just needs to be good enough to get your foot in the door.

And fortunately, home recording devices do just that. So, if you're short on money or just don't want to manage the hassle of a studio recording, look into a home recording. You'll have a quicker, more personal demo and you'll have far longer and more money to spend writing powerful, extractive songs.

Original Songs For A Unique Wedding Celebration

By Criss White

One wedding is almost always never the same as any other. From the invitation to the wedding favors, almost all aspects of a wedding are made as unique as possible.
If you have attended quite a number of weddings already, there are those unique instances that get everyone's attention. Whether the fireworks display or an original song, people want to experience a wedding that is unique, and therefore, special in every way.

An original song can be a unique song composition written by the bride, the groom, a relative, or a friend. Coming from a relative or a friend, this then serves as that person's gift. That person or the composer can be the one who will sing it on the reception as well, or he or she may choose to have somebody else sing it to them.

If you really want an original song but do not know of anyone who can write a song, there are lyricist and music composers available who can write and play the song for you. They will be charging a fee so prepare to include that in your budget. Also charging fees can be minimal compared to professional composers - a church choir member may be able to write one for you.

Play the original song during the reception. Most churches are strict when it comes to playing music inside the church. Thus, most would expect only traditional songs to be played during the ceremony.
Do not play the music while the guests are entering the reception hall. Chances are, they will not be able to hear the original music as they are busy chatting with the other guests.
Before the song is about to be played, mention that the song is an original piece so that everyone will listen, appreciate the music, and get to listen to the meaning or the words of the song.

It is best if the original song is played in a mellow tone. This way, you will be able to play it during the first dance, a part that is symbolic and truly special compared to the other parts of the wedding. Remember to be creative too and do not stick to the generic music lyrics about love. You can ask the composer to inject personal lines, quotes, or events in the song to make it relatable.

A wedding song is special in itself as it reflects love. Even more special is an original wedding song that captures the pure emotion of the couple and the joy of being joined as one.

Instrumental Soothing Music Is Ideal For Relaxation

By Chase Crawford

Clearly, soothing music doesn't just come in one type. A good way to divide calming tunes however, is to place them roughly into two groups, instrumental and non-instrumental. In some cases, it is more relaxing to put on tracks that don't have lyrics. There are reasons for this.

In a lot of cases, what is considered relaxing is based entirely on subjective preferences. This is why some folks listen to slightly upbeat pop songs and still get a general feeling of relaxation. This may also apply to you but it's worth noting that there are reasons why instrumental tunes are better options.

Compositions without lyrics are great options for relaxation because they increase subjectivity. Songs actually tend to hamper this because a person's perspective is influenced by lyric direction. Simply put, you may end up absorbing the feelings and thoughts communicated by song lyrics.

Songs can still be considered very relaxing soothing music if they carry the kind of words and themes that elicit calmness. Many songs however can only be categorized as soothing because of their slow beats but actually fail to calm listeners because the gentle tones are accompanied by lyrics that aren't relaxing. Songs of love lost for example may only lead to feelings of sadness.

There are other special advantages to using instrumental tracks for relaxing. One other reason is that a number of instruments used for these compositions have naturally relaxing qualities. Instruments like the piano and flute for example are naturally calming because they produce sounds that are smooth, flowing and nearly similar to natural sounds. The same cannot be said for electric guitars used for rock, alternative or punk rock songs.

The natural calming effects produced by the right instruments also give listeners the chance to visualize better. Listening to instrumental tunes in a cool, quiet environment can help you imagine appropriately calming situations or environments. While listening to gentle piano pieces for example, you can envision yourself lounging under a tree, sitting beside a bubbling brook or being in whatever place you find comforting. Compositions that have lyrics obviously do not give listeners the same opportunity because of how words can limit the imagination.

There are a lot of places to get soothing music from. You can settle for popular pieces in the genres of jazz or classical. These days though, you can also opt for tunes generated by modern artists who produce compositions specifically just for relaxation. Some are unaware that this is actually a growing area of expertise. Because of the growing popularity of yoga and meditation and because of the fast pace of modern life, more and more musicians are starting to produce gentle pieces and albums. You might want to check sample recordings to find the best music options to unwind to.

In modern soothing music, there is no doubt that words can play important roles. In a lot of cases though, you would always prefer to have a completely subjective experience when you want to relax. If you want your imagination to work to your advantage during your chill out moments, you had best settle for instrumental compositions.

Avenged Sevenfold- The Rise Of Dark Rock

By Missy Ray

The American band Avenged Sevenfold first saw the light of day in Huntington Beach, California when the then 18 year old founding band members came together. The band name was the idea of vocalist M. Shadows. Although the name carries sinister suggestions, it is actually a direct reference to the biblical story of Cain and Abel. The group has clarified though, that they are not a religious band.

Aside from the band's striking, original name, its band members also carry similarly related names that show the group's dark roots. The first members include Zacky Vengeance, James "The Rev" Sullivan and Matt Wendt. Currently sharing the spotlight with Shadows and Vengeance are lead guitarist Synyster Gates and bassist Johnny Christ.

From the very beginning, both the image and the sound of the group was resoundingly metalcore in nature. The debut release Sounding the Seventh Trumpet under their first label Good Life Recordings gave a taste of the group's early music. Its original 2001 release was followed by a second 2002 release by Hopeless Records.

In the following year, the group saw more action with the release of Walking the Fallen. In the same year, the group saw greater recognition as they played in the Vans Warped Tour in both 2003 and 2004. After this Avenged Sevenfold album release, their eventual move to mainstream was marked by their move to Warner Bros. Records.

It was under their current, more popularly known label that the band released its third album, City of Evil in 2005. Although considered definitive by many music critics, this release showed a marked difference in the band's musical style. Rather than sticking to its metalcore roots, Avenged Sevenfold transitioned to rock. The transformation is apparent because of the absence of intensely screamed vocal renditions.

The band became truly recognized by the general public in the 2006 MTV Video Music Awards where they were named Best New Artist. This year, they saw more action in the Ozzfest and the Vans Warped Tour. What made this year truly significant for Avenged Sevenfold however was their first world tour. This became a perfect introduction for the following year when they came out with their self-titled album that debuted on the fourth spot.

The year 2009 gave the group its first real obstacle. By the end of the year, the group had made it to the second spot of Ultimate Guitar's Top Ten Bands of the Decade trailing only behind the legendary Metallica. In the same month however, Avenged Sevenfold lost its drummer, James "The Rev" Sullivan due to drugs. The loss was significant but by February of the following year, the band had moved on with drummer Mike Portnoy.

With a new drummer and a new year, fans wonder what's in store for 2010. Shadows has spoken of a fifth album due this July that will be darker and more emotional. Fans got a taste of this in May with the release of the single Nightmare.

The seeming switch in genre is understandable. Avenged Sevenfold is apparently evolving. Nonetheless, they are clearly on more stable foundations than other bands. There is hardly any doubt what the band wants to evoke with its dark sounds.

Facts About Guitar Tabs

By Erin Finch

A guitar tab is a musical notation containing either numbers or letters and it tells the musician where the fingers should be placed on the instrument. Guitar tabs consist of multiple lines and is often called a 'staff notation.' Each representing one of the guitar strings are these lines which are present in guitar tabs.

Often new musicians are baffled with guitar tabs because the strings are written backwards. At the top of the guitar tab is the highest string and is often hard to learn because people didn't expect guitar tabs to be written from top to bottom. The numbers on each line represent the guitar fret and the guitar tabs are written from highest to lowest. New guitarists need to learn string placement and how to correctly read frets in order to understand guitar tabs.

Even though guitar tabs are generally written in standard format, they may still vary depending on the publisher of the music sheet. Even still, guitar tabs are easier to read than learning staff notation. New musicians are more comfortable reading guitar tabs than any other kind of music because of its visual representation.

Musicians will become familiar with the instrument and how it works when they learn the guitar. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including private instruction, informational reference books and videos. In some cases, classroom lessons may even be used to help better equip the musician to learn guitar and how to read guitar tabs. As the musician becomes familiar with the terms used to describe a guitar, including the neck, fret, string, chord, etc., he/she will also begin to easily read guitar tabs.

In the beginning, guitar tabs can be intimidating. Also confusing are all those multiple lines, numbers, letters, and other symbols.

G2D Cream Tone Effects Pedal

By Francis Oswald

The G2D Cream-Tone is anything but you typical, standard overdrive effects pedal. It is capable of producing all of the effects that any other Overdrive can but yet it produces so much more reserving its place in the higher levels of Overdrive pedals. Dave Manning and Grant Wills are responsible for its development and being from Mann Electronics, it's perhaps unsurprising that it is used by many professional musicians.

It is an effects pedal designed for the musician who places an emphasis on finding "his own sound". The tone of the pedal is crystal clear and ever so sharp due to its two-stage configuration settings. It is essentially an effects pedal for the modern professional guitarist.

Like most effects pedals, the Cream-Tone is at its most efficient when being performed in certain genres and excels when creating blues-tone kind of sounds. The tone is creamy, in fact. The reason why this particular effects pedal works so well with the blues guitar is down to the fact that single coil pickups were prevalent in its configuration when being developed.

The design of the G2D Cream-Tone is 100% retro. Its cream-coloured control knobs and chunky brown chassis very definitely say vintage. On the left, you will find the volume which provides a great deal of boost, a single knob which can set the amount of volume boost you want for lead breaks and a wide-sweep Tone control. There are not one but two footswitches, a true Bypass and also a Blue/Solo switch which activates the oh so subtle boost, and also three very bright, LEDs, all of different colour for instant visual mode identification.

If blues is your forte and the crunchy, overdriven "Sound of the South" is your holy grail of distortion effects then the G2D Cream-Tone overdrive pedal is certainly the dream effect pedal you should be using for your blues set up.

Playing The Guitar Gives You Dominant Appeal And Magnetism

By Jimmy Q. Stage

Communication is often listed as one of the major differences between humans and all the other animals. Sure, there are whale songs, and dolphins click, and some chimpanzees have been taught simple sign language, but none of them comes close to the complexity of human communication.

One unique skill that humans have developed over the millennia is an ability to deliver these complex thoughts, ideas, and emotions is through music. Ever since man began to walk upright, he has been fashioning instruments out of different elements found from his environment, even going back further than recorded history.

If you think about how much musical instruments have changed over the years, you can't help but to be impressed. From basic percussion instruments as simple as banging two bones together, to complex and intricately crafted woodwind instruments like a Stradivarius violin, the evolution of musical instruments is a never ending process.

Most people today have hobbies. And one of the most popular hobbies, hands down, is playing a musical instrument. Most people grew up with at least the "idea" of taking piano lessons as a kid. However, there is one instrument that is always the number one choice among adults who choose to play an instrument on their own: The guitar.

The guitar is an ideal instrument for a number of reasons. You can play almost any song, without needing any backup instruments.

The amount of songs and melodies you can play with only a basic understanding of music is truly staggering.

If you've ever wanted to learn the guitar, there's no time like the present. It's easy, it's quick, and you can likely pick up a decent guitar for under a hundred dollars. And the amount of learning material available to you is staggering. Why not get started today?
