Learn How To Play Guitar

I still remember when I pretended to play guitar when I listened my favorite song, and I have to be honest, many years later, I still pretend to dominate the rock guitar as an expert. I can’t tell you why I never got Guitar Lessons before, I am not that young now, maybe too old to be a guitar beginner, maybe too old to just start to get guitar lessons, but at the end, you are never too old or too young to start in what you like.

I always wanted to play acoustic guitar like Dust in the wind song, or jam the electric guitar on Jimmy Hendrix style, well… that goal will be very difficult to achieve if I don’t get a guitar lesson, no matter if I choose the simplest Guitar Song. Navigating in the internet, I found a guitar tutorial that cost me $80 and I learned nothing, so, I thought… I will never learn to play the guitar… this is like rocket science.

After some internet researching I found a couple of programs about to learn to play guitar: Jamorama and Guitar Superstars. Both programs are beyond that complicated acoustic guitar tutorial, just I can’t believe how easy it is, the thing about this, is the way you learn, if are not having fun learning to play guitar, just don’t even thing to get one.
Let’s talk about these two programs:

Jamorama
This is more a guitar for beginners program, it is a very good resource if you need to lay a foundation with the fundamentals of guitar, like learning to tune, how to hold the guitar, basic chords, strumming patterns, and some scales. If you’ve already got a good handle on these things you may consider get other guitar learning program more advance.

Guitar Superstars

This online series of lessons, videos, and jam tracks is designed to make you a better player without the boring hours of practicing chord progressions. It cuts right to the heart of guitar playing and teaches you how to build your left hand strength, work your fret board properly, string your guitar, and focus on really playing what you want to play. Guitar Superstars will teach you how to read Guitar Music and it covers all the basics of playing the guitar. But it also teaches you how to convert those basics into your own playing style very quickly. You may need to have some basic guitar foundation to get the 100% of this program. The course comes with prerecorded jam tracks that you can download to play your guitar with and learn how to play with other people easily. These jam tracks are for every style imaginable for any method of playing. All of them are compatible with every lesson featured in guitar superstars.

Well, at the end we are not going to be another Jimmy Hendrix or a younger Carlos Santana, but definitively you will improve your guitar skills with these programs, and don’t know what you think about it, but I enjoy to play guitar, acoustic guitar or electric guitar if it is a real one, I never been comfortable playing Guitar Hero, not my style.

 American Gypsy: A Memoir


American Gypsy: A Memoir


$9.99


Fifteen-year-old Oksana Marafioti is a Gypsy. This means touring with the family band, from the Mongolian deserts to the Siberian tundra. It means getting your hair cut in “the Lioness.” It also means enduring sneering racism from every segment of Soviet society. Her father is determined for his girls to lead a better, freer life. In America! Also, he wants to play guitar with B. B. King. And cure cancer with his personal magnetism. All of this he confides to the woman at the American embassy, who inexplicably allows the family entry.What Oksana and her sister, Roxy, know of the United States they’ve learned from MTV, subcategory George Michael. It doesn’t quite prepare them for the challenges of immigration. Why are the glamorous Kraft Singles individually wrapped? Are the little soaps in the motels really free? How do you protect your nice new boyfriend from your opinionated father, who wants you to marry decently, within the clan?In this affecting, hilarious memoir, Marafioti cracks open the secretive world of the Roma and brings the absurdities, miscommunications, and unpredictable victories of the immigrant experience to life. With unsentimentally perfect pitch, American Gypsy reveals how Marafioti adjusted to her new life in America, one slice of processed cheese at a time.

The digital music revolution isn’t just for keyboardists anymore. Guitarists can now get in on the action. Recently, the computer music world has exploded with plug-ins that emulate popular amplifiers and effects. Imagine having a virtual roomful of the greatest amps ever made, the ability to use any speaker cabinet you like, a wide selection of microphones, and a broad array of effects-all within your computer! And that’s just the beginning. With the right equipment and a computer, you can now access synthesizer sounds directly from your guitar using MIDI technology, sequence your MIDI guitar with popular DAWs, such as Pro Tools, Reason, Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer, and others, change from a Stratocaster sound to a Les Paul sound with the turn of a knob, learn how to control virtual instruments with your guitar, instead of with a keyboard, and much, much more. While it’s amazing that all this power is within your grasp, you will need some pointers on how to use it effectively. Digital Guitar Power! provides the guidance that guitarists need to get the most out of new digital technology. The book is designed for anyone who plays the guitar and is interested in using the latest technology to make music with it. If you’re new to computer music, this book will explain all the terminology, help you find the right software and the best hardware, and then teach you how to use it. If you play the guitar and already own some home recording technology, you’ll find out how to get the most out of your current setup. You’ll also learn some of the cutting-edge technologies available today and how you can use them most effectively. If you play guitar and have always wanted to start recording at home, this book will show you whatÂ’s out there, what you can afford, and most importantly, what skills you need in order to do it right.

Don’t Even Think About It!: 101 Dangerous Things Not to Do Before You Grow Old


$15.95


It’s a grim fact that the world isn’t as nice as it used to be. People are ruder, more greedy, more selfish, and more violent. And even though those hardback retro books with flock covers and embossed titles look nice, they won’t help turn back the clock. Making a pin-hole camera, skimming stones, and whittling wood isn’t going to bring world peace. In fact, the world is only made more dangerous by people making their own bunsen burners and careering down hills in soap-box carts. Well, here’s an alternative book for boys—although it won’t just mock the things that Dad did. Though if you can build a tree house along the lines suggested by certain authors, you’re better off starting a loft extension business. The book will also have useful suggestions for skills to acquire that will actually help you as you grow up, namely: how to tell decent jokes, three essential chords on the guitar, how to drill a hole and put a rawlplug in it, how to play pool, and how to learn the half-volley in any sport.

Jam! Amp Your Team, Rock Your Business


$24.95


What do the world’s best bands andbusinesses have in common?More than you’d think. In fact, the winning teams that built Microsoft, Disney, and Starbucks have much in common with the Rolling Stones and U2. Like a business, a successful rock band is made up of both visionaries and devoted followers, leaders and team players. But the band only achieves success when the entire group is pulling in the same direction. When all members understand the parts they must play within the group—contributing creatively and playing to their strengths—that’s when the hits start coming. In JAM! Jeff Carlisi, former lead guitarist and songwriter of 38 Special, tells his own unique story of rising to the top of the charts and the business world, offering one of the most fun, original approaches to team-building and acquired business savvy. Filled with stories of the rock n’ roll life, like that of the architect who became a guitar superstar and the multimillion-selling track that almost never was, this is an insider’s view to making it big and the pitfalls to avoid along the way. Each chapter examines a key moment in the development of a band—formation, early success, internal crises, falling out of the spotlight—and demonstrates how executives can use those lessons to crank their own businesses to eleven. JAM! also includes insights from seasoned musicians who have played in some of the world’s best-known bands, including the Rolling Stones, the Eagles, the Allman Brothers, Night Ranger, and the bands of Eric Clapton, Billy Joel, Rod Stewart, Joan Jett, and Sheryl Crow.

 Life on a Shoestring: The American Dream


Life on a Shoestring: The American Dream


$23.95


What am I going to do in life? What am I supposed to do? How can I decide what to do when everything looks like a sham? What is this American Dream? Are we not all living our lives on a shoestring? By the time I completed this book I realized the nature of my problem. I rearranged my work to look like an eighteen-hole golf course, and I saw the light. I realized that I was a guitar player living in a golfer’s world. We don’t understand our leaders because they are golfers, and they are living on a golf course. They don’t understand us because we are living on a shoestring. I realized that I was just shooting a bad round. I reformatted my work into a language that the golfer’s can understand. I looked at my journey through the American Dream for the last forty years like I was playing a round of golf.As I play the course, I try to stay right in the middle of the fairway, neither hook nor a slice. I try to stay out of the sand traps and avoid the water. Unfortunately, I’ve had to spend some time in the woods looking for my ball. I hope this book will teach you the attitude that overcomes adversity and an attitude of hope and of humor, because we’ll need it. And I hope that I find my ball. See you at the nineteenth hole!
