What to do if you start losing interest in playing guitar
There may be times when you may feel your interest in playing start to wane a little bit. There are a number of things you can do to get back on track.
Take a week off. This doesn’t mean to fiddle with your guitar five minutes a day. Don’t touch your guitar for the entire week. When you pick it up again, it will feel and sound better than ever. Plus, you’ll find that you have a number of new ideas to try or you may hear a song that you’d really like to play.
Find new music to play. It’s easy than ever to find guitar music. And if you can’t find something, take a song you’ve already learned and play it in a different way. The song you learned to finger pick will sound quite different when being strummed.
Put together some loops / backing tracks to play with. You can find background tracks fairly easily online. In some cases, there will be a small fee to join a website. If you find a website that you like, make sure they have a good selection of loops and backing tracks to choose from.
Record a Valentine Song With Music Composing Software
What would you say to recording a love valentine song using music composing software for your partner this Valentine’s Day? I know we traditionally tend to just buy the box of chocolates, maybe some jewelry, and a bouquet of flowers for our loved ones on Valentine’s Day, but what would you say to doing something different and unique?
While purchasing nice gifts for your Valentine is very thoughtful and I am sure it is appreciated, there are a couple reasons why you should look at other possibilities. First off, gifts are very expensive. Roses, nice chocolate, JEWELRY, are all very pricey items. When coupled together they add up in a hurry. The other thing is they are not personal. Chances are, if you bought a bouquet of flowers and a box of chocolates there are a million other people who could have purchased those same products and given them to his/her loved one.

Air in Trumpet sound
Why is there air in your sound?
This is a really easy question to answer. No gray areas with this one.
Sound IS vibrations.
The sound from the trumpet IS caused by the vibrating of our lips.
Air in the sound IS caused from too big an aperture for the note/volume we are playing.
What happens is that some of the air gets through the hole without touching any lip tissue and doesn’t get put into vibration. So it sizzles right through the sound.
Air in the tone goes hand in hand with every bad thing that can happen. Not being able to play soft cleanly or at all, poor range, poor endurance, excessive mouthpiece pressure…….
The Magic of Live Music Concerts
Music is one of the most beautiful ways to express yourself. Music can instantly light up your mood. All of us must be having a particular singer or a band that we are really fond of. Listening to their music may be one of the best things in the world for us. However if you have ever been for a gig, then you would understand how different it is when you get to get to see them in person.
So why is a live musical concert better than listening to them over your mp3 player or watching them on TV? When you watch them on TV, it is very easy to comment on how easy it is to perform on stage. However, when you watch them performing in front of your eyes and in front of thousands of those in the crowd, it is only then that you realize how difficult it is and how much guts it takes. The true personality of a celebrity comes out when they are on stage. You can even judge them on the basis of how much of caliber are they blessed with. Not everyone can connect with the crowd so beautifully and make the crowd go crazy for them, just by there presence.
