SO YOU WANNA MAKE MUSIC TO CHANGE THE WORLD?

What do Bob Dylan, Elvis Presley, the Beatles and Mozart all have in common? And what do they have in common with practically every other artist who’s creativity has changed the world? They are all unique. But there is something in common.

They each changed the popular music of their times by combining already popular forms in a new way. Elvis - on that famous and fateful day in Sun Studios in Memphis he let it all loose and brought it all together again differently… the blues, country, gospel and regional elements that were his influences in his youth all came together into rockabilly, rock and roll, something that had not been heard before. Elvis on Ed Sullivan also brought together the new music form and the new medium - television in a new way which has influenced generations of rock icons to first pick up their guitar.

Bob Dylan… they pulled the plug on his concert when he dared to bring out electric instruments, drums and a backbeat to his folk and protest music. But Dylan had his own vision of his music and it contained his influences from Woody Guthrie but also the last decade of rock and roll and other influences.. again.. he combined popular music forms in a new way.

The Beatles… well they set the world on fire with their style and their hair cuts and all that. The Beatles on Ed Sullivan - still one of the great moments in rock and television history. But do you know that in the mid 60’s they didnt release a CD for almost two years and then came out with Sgt Pepper - the orchestation, song structure and the bringing together of elements in a completely new way is what made history.

Mozart? Well, see the great movie, Amadeus, and you will understand better than I can illustrate here. But it is another case in point.

Another one that could be mentioned here is Johnny Cash. As Bruce Springsteen said (not an exact quote)… Johnny Cash broke down barriers to communication and artistic styles and, not only did he break those barriers down, but he showed why it is important to do so. Cash’s music contains many elements brought together for the first time in different parts of his career.

So the point…? If you want to make music that changes the world, don’t just be the latest kid on the block, the latest rapper in the hood, the latest rocker in the backstreet clubs. Do something that has not been done before by combining elements that are already popular in a new and creative way.

Perhaps this unique combining of other art forms is so impactful because it aligns with the derivation of the word “art” itself. The derivation of the word art basically means… to join together.

The world needs great artists. Start!

Well, well, well. I had always thought that the inefficiency of the slow moving bureaucracy that is humankind would have put off hell freezing over for at least 10 or 15 years. But, I am a big enough person to admit when I am wrong. But perhaps finding sufficient market demand to allow consumers to pay for and download TV shows that they simply weren’t capable of rearranging their schedule to accommodate for further pop culture consumption must be one of the signs that such a point is closing in upon us. Welcome to ipod shows.

So, you unfortunately have to go to a funeral that you just can’t get out of, but it happens that the new episode of Monk is on at the same time; and the network has really been touting this week as a blockbuster episode. Well, no problem, all you need to do is log on to the apple website and go into the istore where you’ll find all things ipod. Once you’ve found ipod shows you just need to choose the network and the get to the show and you can purchase it and download it.

Having Monk as an ipod show on your ipod is almost better than having skipped the funeral and watched the show at home, even if you taped it for later viewing. This way, you’ll always have it to watch as many times as you’d like, plus you don’t need to sit on your couch to do so, you can run all over town watching the show if you want. But, its not to say that you couldn’t also still just sit on your couch and indulge. Ipod shows are here so download them while you still can, because I can hear the crackling of forming ice in the living room of Beezelbub’s rec room.

A relatively new concept in the online world is “Virtual Real Estate Investing“. There are many variations on what this term means, encompassing everything from using the internet to aid in real estate investing efforts to participating in online games such as SecondLife.

To separate fact from fiction, I asked Bryan Ellis of BryanEllis.com for comments. He’s the man many consider to be the father of this new form of investing.

Ellis says he adopted the term “virtual real estate investing” sometime before Y2K after he realized that making money online is conceptually very similar to making money with physical real estate.

One example of the parallels between virtual and physical real estate Bryan Ellis cites is the similarity between the monetization of domain names versus physical property. He points out that control of a domain name or even a specific web page is much like controlling a real estate property ” those assets can be monetized in similar ways: By selling them for a profit, by leasing them, by offering advertising, etc.

I must admit: Its easy to see the parallels. Consider this: If you own a piece of real estate in a desirable neighborhood, your real estate has value because other people are interested in that location. Likewise, if you own a desirable domain name, others will find value in it because it serves their purposes. So it doesn’t matter if you own physical real estate or virtual real estate - you’ll likely use similar strategies to turn them into money in your pocket.

In our next installment of this series on virtual real estate investing, Bryan Ellis will share the internet analogies to the physical concept of real estate development.

So how do you get faster with your picking? How do you get both your hands synchronized when you play guitar?

A few simple exercises are all it takes. That and the proper guitar practice methods.

In this article I’m going to demystify the whole process. Learning to play the guitar fast or to Shred is not rocket science…just follow some simple steps. And you will be well on your way to becoming a Guitar God…heheh

Notes: BPM stands for Beats Per Minute. Always practice in 16th notes.

Step 1 Buy a Metronome if you don’t already have one! You can use one of the free online ones, but if you are serious about your guitar playing, invest the money into a metronome.

Step 2 Set aside at least 30 minutes a day 6 days a week to do your drills. Getting fast is no different than anything else…IT TAKES PRACTICE AND DISCIPLINE!

Step 3 SLOW DOWN! This is probably the most important step! Find a picking speed with your metronome that you can COMFORTABLY PLAY with NO mistakes. You need to learn to play your guitar correctly before you worry about going fast.

I know from personal experience that I like to play guitar fast, and push my limit and ability until I get so sloppy it sounds like hell.

Here’s why this is such a bad idea…If you practice fast and wrong, you will play fast and WRONG. That’s it. So SLOW DOWN and PRACTICE GUITAR with 100% accuracy. The speed your looking for will come on it’s own!

Step 4 Once you have a comfortable practice speed do your drills (several listed at the end of the article) for at least 5 minutes NONSTOP. Take a few minutes break then fire up your metronome and start another 5 minute drill session. Continue doing this until you have finished your 30 minute speed drill session.

(Tip: Use a Timer: you want to limit your drills to ONE part of your practice, not the whole thing)

Step 5 Keep a detailed record of your guitar drills progress! This is important so you can track your improvements. What do you record? 1) Date and Time of Guitar Practice Sessions 2) Metronome Speed Setting and your Target Goal for the 6 day period. Be realistic…if your starting at 50bpm don’t expect to play your guitar at 240bpm in 6 days. 3) I find it helpful to keep notes on muscle tension and mood, as I had developed poor guitar playing habits over the years. When I review my notes I can tell what days my playing will be On or Off based on my mood, plus Unlearn the bad habits ;o)

Step 6 Practice consistently 6 days a week and try to push your speed up by 2 to 5 bpm each week.

Remember that when you move your speed up you MUST keep playing your guitar cleanly. I.E.: NO MISTAKES.

If your making mistakes, your going to fast! See Step 3 again.

Thats all there is to it, keep at it and be consistant and you WILL see improvement.

Keep Practicing that Guitar!

Small World

Lookin’ at the stats for my web-site; four percent of my traffic this month comes from Thailand.

It kinda makes me think that the blues is universal and even in Thailand they get the blues. So I surfed and guess what? They’ve got the blues! They’ve got Creole Samui playing Thai blues at a New Orleans Style bar (except instead of serving Hurricanes, they serve Typhoons), “The Big Buddha Blues Band” (they get downwith purpose no doubt), and also the Soi Dog Blues Band(and you thought dog was a delecacy)…

It’s universal I tell you. Last month the United Kingdom and Hungary took an interest in my site, a few folks from the Netherlands poked around there too. It’s a small world after all. It would be cool to do an MTV type video based on Wallyworld’s “It’s a small, small world” ride, where the boat would be sailing down the river, and it would be BLUES PLAYERS from all over the world singin’ their woes in miniature jail cells, unemployment lines, flop houses, and alleyways.

The blues may have started in the Mississippi Delta, but it has spread to all ends of the earthnot the blues proper, but the expression of it. It’s a story that has to be told; Over and Over and Over. The blues, the whole Blues, and nothin’ but the Blues.

There are many benefits of the amortization calculator. First, this tool is a tool you will find on many websites out there. It is designed to allow you to find out how much of a monthly payment you will make on your home loan. It will also provide you with details about how much interest and the total cost of your loan will be by the time that you pay it off. And, it will tell you how much of your mortgage payment will go towards interest and how much will go towards the principal. But, did you know that you can use an amortization calculator to help you to save money?

There are several methods that this can work for you. The amortization calculator is available to you prior to you making a choice in a home loan through many websites. And, you should take full advantage of it.

Save Money With Interest Rates

You know that the cost of your home is nothing compared to the amount of money you will pay for it in interest during the time you have the loan. But, do you realize the difference that only a few percentage points can make? Take the time to use an amortization calculator and you’ll see just what it is. If you are comparing two different banks, you may want to go with one because it is the bank that you have always done business with. But, punch in the facts and see how much the other bank can save you with their lower rate.

The Loan Terms

Trying to decide about the length of your loan? If you are looking forward to a lower payment because you plan to take out a 30 year mortgage, figure out what the interest difference is in these loans. If you can afford to go with a 20 or even a 25 year loan, you can shave thousands of dollars in interest from your home’s purchase. Point blank, you should go with the lowest possible terms that you can afford and the amortization calculator will tell you just how much.

Principal Versus Interest

Another way that the amortization calculator can save you money is through seeing just how much you will pay per month in interest as apposed to principal. While you may not have much control over this number, you may want to think about it. For example, at the beginning of your mortgage term, you will pay mostly interest down on the loan. When you get closer to mid way through, then you will begin to see more principal being lowered on the loan. But, the amortization calculator can show you what can happen if you go with the lending institution that allows you to pay a little extra per month on your principal.

These are just some of the ways that this simple tool really can help you to save money on your home’s purchase. Getting the right loan makes all the difference and you can do just that when you take the time to use a tool like the amortization calculator to determine just how much you will pay.

Business loans are designed for entrepreneurs so that they can grow their organization without any obstacle. They are useful for your existing as well as for new ventures. Business loans provide capital for your business.

Running a business involves great risk, when there are unlimited competitors available in the market. Stiff competition makes it very difficult to run business without a proper inflow of capital in the firm. Hence business loan acts as a backbone for your firm and helps in the rapid development of any firm, when it has suffered a severe set back.

Businesses are easy victims of all adverse risks. A heavy loss to firm can hamper its growth; hence opting business loan at such critical moment is a smart choice. Business loan is divided into two major categories-secured business loan, where offering collateral is must for the borrower. His property is at stake if he does not repay to the lender. But low interest and long repayment duration give him a great relief from this risk. Flexibility in terms and conditions is also granted to the borrower.

Unsecured business loan does not require any collateral. High rate interest and short repayment duration cause worries to the borrower. He is liable to repay his entire amount in a short period.

Business loans also provide a great help to people with bad credit. Their business does not suffer due to their bad credit and bad credit business loan is meant for such people. To locate different lenders in the market, you are advised to search online. It will also help to gather important facts of business loans.
