Lead Guitar Lesson : Popular Picking Styles Explained

By Nick Dillon


The common types of picking used in lead guitar will be explored in this lead guitar lesson, with an emphasis on alternate picking. It is important to understand when a certain technique is best suited in a particular musical context or situation.

Essentially there are three common picking techniques that will be discussed in this lead guitar lesson; these are using purely downstrokes, alternate picking and sweep picking. Each technique will be best suited to a certain lead phrase, style of music and individual preferences.

As the name suggests alternate picking involves an alternating pattern of up and down strokes. So, for example to play the C major scale using three notes per string, using alternate picking, we first start with a downstroke on the C note. Next, an upstroke on the D note followed by a downstroke on the E note. We then move to the A string where the F note is an upstroke followed by a downstroke on the G note and then an upstroke on the A. We simply continue with alternating up and downstrokes to complete the scale. The advantages of alternate picking are that the up and downstrokes help us stay in time and maintain a consistent rhythm with our playing. There is a better economy of movement using the alternate picking technique over using just purely down strokes. This will translate to greater speed, potentially double the speed compared to just using purely down strokes. This lead guitar lesson aims to emphasise the importance of this style of picking.

Sweep picking is a more advanced and less commonly used technique. When applied properly it is a very useful picking style. It involves a continuous stroke over two or more strings in the same direction. It is similar to playing a chord without letting the notes ring out. When consecutive notes lie on adjacent strings, this picking style is best used, creating the best economy of movement and thus speed.

When playing lead guitar, one often starts out using purely downstrokes. This will often enable a steady and accurate production of notes at the expense of speed. Using the alternate picking technique in the same situation will effectively halve the stroke movements, potentially doubling the speed.

When studying lead guitar it is important to practice propper picking technique. A good starting point is to repeat a scale pattern using alternate picking. You can gradually increase the speed as you improve but not to the point where your playing gets sloppy. As you practice this exercise, your rhythm, timing and precision will improve, and so will your lead playing overall. A great lead guitar lesson tip is to start very slowly and to always use a metronome to help you stay in time.

Hold my Hand: a duet by Michael Jackson and Akon

By Kathy Lim


Hold My Hand is a duet between the American recording artist Michael Jackson and Senegalese-American singer-songwriter Akon taken from Jackson's first posthumous release, Michael.

This song was originally recorded by Jackson in 2008 as set to be released as the first single from Akon's 2008 album, Freedom. Akon finished production on the song after Jackson's death in 2009 and finished recording his own vocals for the song in 2010.

Hold my hand is a song about friendship, family, togetherness and world is one of unity; a last reminder that we need to reach out, embrace one another, that to give love is to receive love and that no one knows what the future may bring,we must find it within ourselves to live, love and trust without guarantees. This is the message of the song. What a wonderful meaning, right?

Hold My Hand was recorded by Jackson and Akon in 2008. Akon finished the rest of his vocals for the song in 2010, a few days before the release. A handwritten note from Jackson belonging to his Estate indicated his desire that "Hold My Hand" be the first single on his next project.

However, in its unfinished state, the song leaked out in 2008. This would be the last new song leaked during Jackson's lifetime. Due to the leak, the song was subsequently pulled from Akon's track listing for his 2008 album. But Akon did not give up, He find a way to released their song. And the time has definitely come; now in its final state, it has become an incredible, beautiful,anthemic song.

I'm sure all of the fans of Akon was so proud of him because he got the chance to work with Michael Jackson and I consider this a highlight of his career.

Despite of the successful of the released of the album, Akon received negative criticisms.The hold my hand single gained a lot of negative reviews as much as it gained a lot of positive review, some of the critics says that Akon did not give justice to the song. The performance of Akon in this music video is so Akon, we did not see the personality and character of Michael.

I don't think it is fair that people will criticize Akon. Certainly it is impossible to solely see Michael Jackson's whole work of art through this video as he is not able to interfere and direct anymore, but the people behind the success of this single did the best they could in making this a tribute to Michael and a treat to the fans as well.

Let's stop the controversy and lets just spread the message of this song. If only Michael Jackson is still alive im sure he is glad that his song was preserved well.

Harry Potter 7 Reception And Responses

By Alice Jackson


Ever since the famous books started being turned into movies, critics and fan alike have been registering their opinions on the latest offerings of the series. Harry Potter 7, The Deathly Hallows Part One, was released in November 2010 to a US audience. It attracted mostly positive attention, with a few naysayers in the works.

The Potter series starts with a young boy who is just finding his way in the world, and going on some adventures along the way. Without enough information to properly understand the severity of the situation, the first few books and movies are rather light-hearted. They progress along the way into the dark and anguished world of the wizarding war as the series unfolds, though. The Deathly Hallows chronicles the period immediately before the final battles of a war, and as such, is dark and fairly downtrodden.

As would be expected for the seventh movie of any series, this one throws you right in. There is no explanation for much of the goings-on, and viewers without the previous six films or books as background are likely to be hopelessly lost. But not spending time on explanations is both true to the books and a good choice for the films-- there's hardly enough time to tell the complex story in the time allotted even without some kind of recap.

Critics responded mostly positively to the acting by the three main leads and many auxiliary characters. Given the youth of the actors involved, the stirring performance was all the more extraordinary, if not unexpected. The previous six films had already assured most viewers that there was no lack of talent among the young Potter cast.

The main complaints among critics and viewers alike have to do with the fact that this is part one of a two part movie. The storyline is unfinished, and this first film contains a lot of set-up. While it is mostly true to the book and necessary for the plot twists of the second part, for some people, it seems to have felt stagnant at times.

In this latest part of the series, the wizarding world is consumed by war and more and more of the main characters' comfortable existence is falling apart. The angst factor is off the meter, and spending time anguishing over their situation takes up a fair amount of the movie. Despite being important parts of the mood and storyline, some critics and viewers felt that these scenes were overdone and overlong.

The pacing of the film has received some complaints and some lauding. Clearly, it is mostly a matter of preference. While the first and third acts are filled with action and the second is allowed to slow and become more thoughtful, reactions to these choices are mixed. Some find the sequences too fast or too slow, while others applaud the maintenance of the book's storyline, pacing included.

People who were not fans of the books or previous movies are unlikely to enjoy Harry Potter 7. However, some people who were not fans of the previous movies but liked the books might enjoy this one. It sticks more closely to the books than any of the movies since perhaps number two. The overall reaction to the film by both critics and viewers was mixed, but leaning towards the positive.

Being Artists, Acting and Music

By Mike Taylor


Being artists is a very complex world. It doesn't mean focusing on one art only. You are talented with a guitar, and I'm sure you paint also, or you had the idea to be a painter as well, but never had the chance to try and show your skills as painter.

This happens with acting as well. There are many celebrities that switch from acting to singing or playing an instrument. They can be seen in movies, in dramatic performances, at events and introducing shows as well.

One artist I want to introduce is Manuel Marino and his Weblog where you can listen to music online. Manuel is an all around artist and while pausing from the music work, he relaxes with 3d art and painting.

Do you want a famous artist? Janet Jackson, a wonderful artist! She paused at the moment her singing career to focus on her acting work, with roles in in Tyler Perry's movie sequel Why Did I Get Married Too? and his upcoming drama For Colored Girls.

But she has not quit her music career at all! And will hit the studio next year to record a new album.

She tells Larry King, "Just because I've made two films back to back... it's always been a dream of mine to do something like this, so I kind of put music on the back burner to do this. And I will continue to do more films. But definitely, I can't give up music, it's in my blood. And I love, love, love performing. So I will make more music."

Having sold over 100 million records worldwide, Jackson is ranked as one of the best-selling artist in the history of contemporary music. Her tenth studio album, Discipline, was released in February 2008, debuting on the Billboard 200 at number one.

Hire A Band Or A DJ For Your Important Event?

By James Lee


The most common question that event managers face or rather which pops up in the minds of parents or family members arranging for a wedding ceremony is how to hire a band. On what basis should a live music band be hired? And the extremely varied answers that come in are - hire bands depending on the music, hire bands based on your budget, hire bands who specialize in the kind of party that you are having, so on and so forth keeping people confused and disillusioned.

Thus, hire band keeping in mind two things - one is your music preference and the other is the type of party you are arranging for. Budget however should not be a deciding factor as that may lead to total disaster of the party you are arranging for. But if still budget is something you are thinking about then try and get the beast band and reduce the number of musicians in it if required.

It is a good idea to hire bands depending on the kind of music you want to be played in your party. That is, if you need the music band to play soft music which would act as a background to conversations in your party, then hire the band likewise. On the contrary, if you want your guests to put their hair down and have the time of their life then you need to hire bands who can play the latest pop chart busters and core dance music to keep everybody on the dance floor

Thus, going by the kind of music to be played in the party, hire bands specializing in categories of rock, soft rock, live acoustics, blues, jive, swing, jazz, acid rock, death metal, dance, punk, pop, trance, house music and the like.

Secondly, the music bands can also be hired on the basis of the type of party you are having. Infact, today the music bands actually advertise themselves saying that they specialize in some specific kinds of parties or events. Like some specializes is playing in wedding parties while the others are expert in playing at corporate events.

To illustrate this further, a wedding ceremony is an occasion when people of all ages and backgrounds are invited. These people have different tastes for music. Thus, while choosing the band you should see that the band is able to cater to the needs of all the guests. So a music band playing at the wedding party should be versatile enough to play old hits to the recent chartbusters making sure that the flow of the music is smooth and matches the mood of the party. Soft romantic songs could be played or special music pieces during special moments like when the couple kisses each other and when the bride walks down making the wedding touching and emotional.

Again, if we take the birthday parties as an example in contrast to a wedding birthday parties, hire bands that can set the right fun filled mood and spread birthday cheer. A Birthday party band should typically be able to create an enjoyable aura, by playing some good dance music and interacting with the crowd, etc so that everyone can have a good time on the dance floor.

Thus, it is either of these two things that should be taken into consideration while hiring a music band, one is the genre of music you want for your party and the other is whether the band is a specialized one in your kind of an event. Having hired the band on such solid grounds, your basic work is done and you don't have any worries anymore for the grand finale.

New audition performance

By Jason Cruz


Everybody wants to be famous. And to get this dream, a lot of people will do anything, including paying their way to get a role, or to win a contest. Because of this, there are also many people who would want to take advantage of the needs of those who want to become models, or actors, or singers. This article gives you tips on how to keep yourself away from situations such as being scammed by a fake talent agency. Before all of that, as they say everything starts with the self. Therefore, do you think you are capable in becoming a model or talent?

Legitimate talent agencies require no upfront fees just to have an appointment with you or just to see you. If you have what it takes, and you have the talent, they will most probably get you, even without the payment. Although there are cases that some expenses are incurred, these cases are rare.

You may be confused in the main difference between modeling classes and modeling agencies. As the name pertains, modeling agencies are entities that receive your portfolio and check whether you fit the bill, and if you do, they will give you a stint.

Modeling classes, on the other hand, provide training to models, and if they succeed, then they take a part of that aside from what you paid for them to train you.

However, it is not generalized that scammers are not capable of going that far. They too, are capable of creating a website just to get some money from you. Ask colleagues; ask your mentors if they are legit. Since mentors know a lot better than someone who's just started as becoming a model or talent.

There are good scammers though that create websites just to show you that they are legit. It would always be best to ask within your circle, and read forums too, so that you will have more knowledge about the talent agencies that are legitimate.

If you are enrolled in a talent workshop, you will have a better chance to improve yourself. Not only that, you can ask the people in your workshop, including your mentors, about the best and legitimate talent agencies that could help you.

As seen on reality shows like America's Next Top Model, there are so many difficulties to overcome to get to the top. It is not an easy ride. It will never be a ride made easier by money. True success in any endeavor can only be qualified if you really worked hard on it.
