How to Tune Miniature Electric Guitars with an Electric Tuner

Tuesday, August 16th, 2011

Mini electric guitars can also be knocked out of tune as their full electric or acoustic counterparts. However mini electric guitars do often require tuning, but fortunately you will be pleased to know that the tuning process is quite simple.

You can use an electric tuner, if you have one, to quickly tune your guitar. Tuning with an electric tuner can be done as follows: *Plug one end of the guitar amplifier cable into the input jack of the electric tune and plug the other end into the output jack of your mini electric guitar.

*Start by tuning the thickest string (the 6th string) to E. In order to do this, simply strum the 6th string by itself and let the tone ring. Watch the needle on the electric tuner. If it remains steady on E, then the string is in tune. If not, adjust the tuning key on the guitar for that string until the needle is steady on E, then re- strum the string to check if correctly tuned.

*Repeat this process through the rest of the strings. The strings are arranged in order of the thickest (6th string) to the thinnest (1st string). The 5th through 1st strings should be tuned to A, D, G, B and E, respectively. Use the electric tuner as explained above to assist in tuning each of these strings.

Pro Audio Recording on a Laptop?

Wednesday, June 29th, 2011

Since huge improvements to laptops in regards to storage and data transfer capabilities, we can now seriously use them as a source for professional recording purposes. Many new laptops can easily outperform some old desk top tower computers. When thinking about recording audio, as in a live music performance, you should seriously consider a Mac Powerbook or Macbook Pro over a PC Laptop.

The reason we are at this stage with the laptops powerful capabilities is all because of FireWire and USB technology. These two new technologies have enabled the speed of audio data transfer. First it was FireWire that supplied the big muscle as the fastest protocol but USB’s updated version 2.0 and now even 3.0 is over-shadowing FireWire.

Armed with only a Macbook Pro and a good quality audio interface with excellent audio to digital converters like the Apogee Duet 2, one can record very good sounding pro audio anywhere and at an unprecedented sample rate of 24-bit/192kHz.

How Can I Become a Worship Leader?

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

I teach worship guitar lessons online. How does one become a worship leader? Is it a calling? Is it a job? Do you have to be a good singer? Do you have to be able to play guitar or keyboard? I think to some degree, the answer is Yes to all of these questions.

Growing up, I went to a church that was big on worship music and just the arts in general, so I was just following the current when I started playing guitar and leading worship as a teen in my youth group. I knew what worship was but wasn’t so sure about the calling part of the whole thing.

Over time I realized that if the passion is in your heart, and you enjoy leading people into the presence of God, then more then likely you are called to be a worship leader. So, Godspeed to you.

New Hip Hop Rages the World over

Saturday, April 23rd, 2011

Teens of yesterday and today, as well as many adults love to listen to the new wave of music referred to as New Hip Hop music. Defining this type of music is difficult, as it contains many different elements, but often contains the following elements – rapping, DJing/scratching, sampling, and beatboxing. This type of music typically includes a singer rapping, or singing in rhyme to a beat. The beat is usually synthesized, and often has a discernible repeating beat to it. This genre of music in the United States dates back to the 1970s and the New York area, although parts of it is evident in African music of West Africa. There many performing artists today that are known by odd and strange names, such as Lil Wane, Big K.R.I.T, Ne Yo, Jah Jah, and others. Many associate this style of music with drugs, gangs, and crime, as many of the lyrics that are sung have references to these topics (and often all in one song). Many of the New Hip Hop songs also use profanity and have sexual innuendos.

A Great Way to Get Sheet Music from

Thursday, March 10th, 2011

The question that often arises is whether you should get the sheet music for a fee or just get it for free. If you decide to go for the free sheet music then you should know that there’s a lot of work that you should do in the future in order to find the right sheets for the right price and at the right places.

When my students ask me which website I recommend to download sheet music from I often ask them: what kind of sheet music do you want? The answer often involves morality, but I often advise my students to simply go to a store and buy it. Why is it often so hard to spend $5-$10 to buy something that you want in the first place? I know that after a while all the costs add up, but for sheet music I definitely find it worthy.

Online Radio is God’s Gift to the World

Saturday, October 23rd, 2010

I count my blessings every day, and I count the Internet as a major blessing! Mainly because I don’t know what I’d do without online radio! I’d never find more than half, maybe MOST of the music I listen to now. I’d definitely be a heck of a lot less interesting than I currently am, which means that many girls would hate me because I would be so miserably boring and unable to talk about a lot of things, most of them stemming from what I have learned from music, which most of the women I date really find to be a quality that makes men sound pretty smart!

I spend my most of my time on the computer or working or just sitting around listening to a variety of stations and music broadcast via online radio, which means I have a lot of time to listen to everything from country to punk rock to rap to post-punk to world music. You name it; I listen to it, seriously.

One problem I run into sometimes is switching from station to station, which can get a little frustrating, especially since I have a number of favorite stations. But one of my most favorite has a solution to this problem! Caraibes fm 94.5 haiti! It’s just such an amazing and powerful station with an assortment of great music. The station plays soul music, Caribbean music, classical music, Latin music, pop music, rock music, and so many other surprises. I can leave it on like caraibes fm 94.5 haiti all day and feel great!

I love online radio, I love good music, and I love good drink!

Ibanez Rg1527 — Why Do Guitars Have Different Tones And Features?

Friday, July 16th, 2010

Pick different guitars from different makers and you’ll discover that each of them has its own uniqueness. This is also true of Ibanez RG1527 electric guitar. It has its own uniqueness — That can’t be taken away. But why do guitar makers make each guitar have its own uniqueness? We’ll look at this…

First and foremost, it’s important to note that it’s impossible for different luthiers to build a guitar with exactly the same sound even if you gave them the exact same materials. This is because each luthier has his own philosophy and approach to building. It’s almost like expecting different artists to depict the same thought in exactly the same picture. If they are told to copy, well, they can. But if they are to give their own interpretations, they would differ widely.

The other reason why different guitars come with different tones and features is that they serve different players. Could you imagine playing country blues with those rock tones? It would ruin the performance. Each music style has its own demands and guitar builders do their best to ensure each gets what it needs.
