Practice Guitar - Revealed: 4 Easy Tips To Practice Your Guitar Chord Changes
By: Jeremiah La Follette
One of the first things a new guitar player will learn is how to play basic guitar chords. As soon as you learn how to play a minimum of two chords it is time to learn how to practice your guitar chord changes.
Guitar chord changes are when you switch from guitar chord to another guitar chord in a smooth and flawless motion.
If you are finding chord changes to be challenging while you practice guitar, lets take a look at four easy tips on how to practice your guitar chord changes.
1. Memorize your guitar chords: The best way to practice your guitar chord changes is by memorizing your guitar chords. By memorizing your guitar chords you will be able to know where to place your left hand fingers on the fret board more quickly and more efficiently than if you are just guessing where your fingers go on the fret board.
2. Practice chord changes without strumming: Practicing your guitar chord changes is challenging enough without having to worry about the rhythm aspect of your guitar chords. Dont worry about practicing your right hand rhythm technique for right now. Once you have mastered your guitar chord changes, you can incorporate switching your guitar chords with the various strumming patterns you have learned.
3. Keep your fingers on the strings: Try not to move your left fingers away from your guitar fretboard. By moving your fingers away from the guitar fretboard, while you are switching guitar chords, you will not be able to change chords as quickly. As you memorize your basic guitar chords, you will recognize that some of your left fingers will barely have to move. You will also begin to recognize that some guitar chords have the same notes which means that your fingers may already be in position to play part of the notes for the next guitar chord.
4. Know what chord is coming up: If you walk, drive a car, or ride a bicycle you will understand that you just dont stare at one object while traveling. If you do, you will crash into something else. The solution from crashing is to look all around your surroundings and know whats coming up ahead. The same goes with guitar chord changes. The more you look ahead of your music, the more you will avoid crashing into the wrong guitar chord. The more you know what guitar chords are coming up, the quicker you will be able to switch to the next chord.
5. Practice in the dark: By allowing yourself to practice guitar in the dark, you will be forced to ensure that you have memorized the right fingering for your guitar chords. Once you are able to play your guitar chords in the dark, the next step is to practice your guitar chord changes in the dark as quickly and smoothly as possible. If youre not sure if you are playing the right guitar chord in the dark then practice guitar near a light switch. As soon as you think you have the right chord, turn the light on, and then check your left hand fingering to make sure your fingers are positioned correctly on the fret board.

How can you make sure that you are employing a certified drum instructor? How do you know you are becoming a professional?? Here are some tips on what to look out for when you employ a drum teacher.
The truth is, there are professed drum instructors and amateur. To find out if your teacher is a professed, a personal interview would be considered. A perfect drum teacher would be one who has a diploma in Music Education with an emphasis on Percussions.
But it is still good to be cynical. Experience matters so make sure you find a teacher who is expert in instructing a student. For instance, there are teachers who have no experience teaching young children or a particular genre.
In the drum world, there are those teachers who are termed as cowboys. These types of drum teachers are commonly unqualified to be drum teachers. Always keep in mind that playing and teaching are two very various things.
Amateur drum teachers are also inert in some basic drum knowledge. A very good way of spotting the cowboys from the pros would be to observe some of their drumming techniques. Bad teachers also do not know how to teach proper coordination, wrist movement, thumb and finger grips and pedal work.
A basic knowledge of the drums is essential to drummers. So a certified drum teacher must be able to answer casual questions such as “What drum set is right for my 12 year old daughter?. Aside from basic beats, a very good drum instructor does not only focus on one musical genre but can teach a multitude of other music modes such as jazz, funk, reggae, odd time (unusual time signatures), Latin, fusion, marching and others.
Other drum teachers like to name drop, such as the drummer of a well-known band. While this may be true as drum teachers can tour with bands, it would still be nice to find out as much the drum instructor in question. Nonsense drum teachers are not only a rot of your time and money.
After My Name Is Khan and Karthik Calling Karthik the awesome deuce-ace is back with Housefull. When we talk about the euphony produced by the trio, we say they compose unparallel music every time we hear them. They have made their own niche in the Bollywood film fraternity as every time they step out of their zones and create zestful music for the masses, it spreads like wildfire. Housefull has a very zippy, bouncy zestful music and according to the genre of the film i.e. romantic comedy, it compliments & gels well.
The music is slightly different from Sajid Khans Heyy Babyy. Well, the vigor can be compared to that of Heyy Babyy but this ones more on the hilarious side. On the whole there are 8 scintillating tracks in the movie which involves three remixes and one reprised track.
The album kick starts with O Girl Your Mine, a buoyant peppy track which will get onto you real quick. This ones a kick-ass number crooned by newbie Tarun Sagar voicing up with the likes of Alyssa Mendonsa and Loy Mendonsa. The song is a winner all the way with its pop-pep lyrics, thanks to Sameer and Amitabh Bhattacharya.
Next to follow is Papa Jag Jayega. This situational track is crooned by a horde of singers. The likes of Ritu Pathak, Neeraj Sridhar, Alyssa Mendonsa, Amitabh Bhattacharya team up to croon this cloak-and-dagger yet so overt track. This one would be more pandering when you watch with the video as it is a situational track it appeals more inside the films narrative.
The next song is the reprised version of the cult classic Apni To Jaise Taise from the movie Laawaris. Think back in the 80s when you had seen Amitabh Bachchan shake his hip to this tub thumping track. Things have changed in 2010, after 25 years we will see the team of Shankar Ehsaan Loy and Sameer along with Mika, Sunidhi Chauhan, and Sajid Khan create the same vibe and put the silver screen on fire with Aapka Kya Hoga Dhanno song. This is the surprise element in the movie and by all odds will win the hearts of millions watching. Relive the magic with this song!
I Dont Know What To Do is the next big thing in the album. This ones poles apart from the others in the album. Shabbir Kumar has crooned the song. He has an unique voice which makes this song hilariously entertaining and unique in its own way.
Last but not the least is the Hes Such A Loser track in the album. This one is a mixture of desi beats and western tune. Its a mixed bag song with a pinch of desi flavor with western punch. Sung by Vivienne Pocha and Amitabh Bhattacharya, this ones a mesmeric charming number.
The three remixes in the movie are Oh Girl You’Re Mine (Remix) Papa Jag Jayega (Remix)I Don’T Know What To Do - Shabbirs Sexy 70s Mix (Remix). All remixes have their own charm and chore making this a sound album. On the whole, Housefull gives you a perfect blend of euphony with entertainment. Its a pacey soundtrack which is here to stay and will guide and entertain you throughout the movie.

Learn How To Find A Suitable Flute Teacher
Searching for a flute instructor can be a bit intimidating, but by creating private profile and with an idea of what traits you desire in a teacher, it can be so adventurous to search and select a new instructor! Search for a flute teacher candidate names from your fellows in your local colleges and universities. If flute is your primary tool to be positive to get a qualified flute master, there are available resources in the most distant geographic areas. But, just because an instructor lives next door and has openings, this may not be the best reason for your current flute needs.
Before starting your search:
Define your plan your commitment for practicing.
Be realistic about time allotment for daily/weekly practice
Ascertain your current playing stage
Gather your music
Make the call yourself if you are age 15 and up.
Some tips for finding a flute teacher:
Contact your chosen music academy.
Contact your local symphony for referrals
Reach local religious groups
Advertisements may also help
How to make sure if your flute instructor is the best for your needs?
Ask for references from friends presently receiving flute tutorial
Does the instructor put their pupils in contest? If so, how well do their students perform in contests?
Does the teacher know about musical chances for students in the community?
Will they assure that there are opportunities for their pupils to do in recitals?
Comparison between different flute instructor’s rates:
Type of professional experience the instructor has
Years in teaching flute
Teachers institution where she studied flute
Is the flute the teacher’s vital instrument?
A pupil that is moulded in very structured learning surroundings may do better with a teacher that provides the same lesson plans and practice home works to all their students. Other instructors look to spark a love for the flute by providing their direction around the musical concerns of their pupils. Try to meet the student’s learning way.
Instructors tend to instruct their students by the Suzuki process. In general, the Suzuki method is described as learning music by ear instead of learning to read and play by musical notation. Newbies may easily learn to play musical compositions by hearing it using this method.
Talk to some teachers before you select one. Never choose an instructor just because they are your neighbor and it’s favourable for you. Two years of bad instruction would not only a waste of money but if the pupil decides to get serious about playing the flute, they may see that they’ve choose a lot of wrong practices that could set them back several years. So get a good teacher from the very start!
Playing the flute can be easy with proper guidance. Build a strong foundation with our professional flute teachers. Flute Lessons Singapore, sharing the love for flute in Singapore. http://www.flutelessonssingapore.com
11 Damaging Mistakes Guitar Players Make and How To Avoid Them
By: Tom Hess
Do you know how some guitar players practice most days of the week, work hard, and are passionate about their guitar playing, but they always struggle to be able to play guitar the way they want? They are frustrated because they dont improve fast enough, begin doubting their guitar playing potential, or even feel discouraged or angry with themselves when thinking about how long it is taking them to become a better guitar player.
Can you relate to that? I sure can, I just described myself 15 years ago.
There are specific reasons why guitar players go through such frustration and disappointment. Here are 11 key mistakes guitar players make and repeat over and over again that you should definitely avoid.
1. Teaching Yourself To Play Guitar. Many people attempt to teach themselves how to play guitar. Yes, its true that some well known players were somewhat self taught, but I do not suggest following that strategy even if your favorite player was self taught. If you are 100% sure that you can build powerfully effective learning and training systems on your own, that’s great. However, if you are like most of us, doing it alone is the hardest, most time-consuming, stressful, and frustrating way to learn anything. This is a mistake that you should avoid. Some guitar players think it will impress others if they say, “I am a self taught guitar player”. That statement might impress a few inexperienced people, but being self taught is not a ‘badge of honor’. Would you rather impress others with your guitar playing or with an unimportant statement about your guitar playing? I’m not criticizing self taught guitar players, I’m only saying that there is no advantage to being self taug ht and no, it is not true that being ’self taught’ makes us more ‘original’. In fact, the opposite is usually true.
2. Taking Guitar Lessons From Ineffective Guitar Teachers. Unfortunately, most electric guitar teachers receive ZERO training on how to teach guitar. What is worse is that the vast majority of teachers do little or nothing to improve their guitar teaching skills. Want some proof? Use googles keyword tool . Type in this keyword phrase: improve guitar teaching skills, guitar teaching skills, or guitar teaching training and you will find that less than 10 searches per month are done for these topics at google! Of course there are some highly effective electric guitar teachers around, but there are a whole lot more ineffective teachers. Here is a free resource on how to tell the difference between the good guitar teachers and the mediocre ones, free guide: how to find a guitar teacher: http://tomhess.net/HowToChooseAGuitarTeacher.aspx
3. Seeking New Guitar Information (tricks, tips, tab) Without A Proven Strategy To Reach Your Specific Musical Goals. We need information, advice, help and music to play, but without a proven strategic learning and training process that is specific to you, your skill level, your musical style and what you want to be able to do as a guitar player, information wont get you where you want to go. It is better to first seek help in developing a customized strategy for you to become a better guitar player. After that strategy is in place, then it is time to deal with learning the right information.
4. Not Knowing Specifically What You Want To Be Able To Play. Most guitar players are not specific enough when they think about (or tell others about) what they want to be able to do with their guitar. To say, “I want to play whatever I wish to play is too vague. How can you (or your guitar teacher) develop a specific and effective guitar training strategy unless the goals you have are specific? It’s like saying you want to be a great athlete, how can you effectively train with such a vague goal? Sure there are things you can do to become faster, stronger, more flexible or whatever, but it’s much easier if you first get specific such as, I want to train to be a gymnast, or a long distance runner, or a body builder. Yes you can still improve without a strategy, but it will take a lot longer and be much more frustrating. You can always change your goal later if you discover you want to do something else instead.
5. Not Enough Focus On Things That Matter Most To Making You A Better Guitar Player. Have you fallen into the trap of practicing guitar without focusing on the specific things that can quickly begin to improve your guitar playing? Many people really do not understand and apply this concept in enough detail . for example, I have a student named Mark who used to take lessons from another teacher in the past. Mark was studying sweep picking arpeggios with his previous teacher, and was making some progress. However Mark did not understand what specific things he needed to focus on first before attempting to master the sweep picking arpeggios he was practicing. This was holding him back and making him feel very frustrated. Marks previous teacher only knew how to teach arpeggios and general sweep picking concepts. He did not really know how to train Mark with the specific things to focus on and how to overcome the challenges Mark was having. If you would like to see a small sample of this check out this short sweep picking video lesson: http://tomhess.net/3StringArpeggiosLessonFull.aspx.
6. Too Much Focus On Things That Are Not Core To Your Goals. In addition to not focusing on specific things, many guitar players focus on the wrong things. Some enthusiastic guitar players become temporarily obsessed with things which are distractions from other things that could be helping their guitar playing much more. Here is an example: I used to get so frustrated and angry when I could not play something perfectly, Id lock myself in my guitar practice room and say, Im not coming out of this room until I master this damn lick if it takes me the next 19 hours! No breaks! No food! No human contact! Im gonna nail this! And I did master it. On the surface, it might seem like I was on the right track and practicing in a good way . But in reality, I was spending my time only to stop being angry and frustrated. I was not investing my guitar practice time wisely by focusing on the things that mattered most to making a better guitar player. In other words, my perseverance was commendable, but my strategy to master important long-term goals was weak. I allowed myself to be distracted. I dont make this same mistake anymore, and I urge you to also avoid it! Focus on the things that really matter for your guitar playing right now. If you are not sure how to do this, seek out a proven guitar teacher today.
7. Focusing On The Right Things, But in The Wrong Order. This is a common mistake that even many advanced guitar players make which causes a lot of wasted time and frustration. Imagine you want to improve your ability to create your own cool guitar solos. Lets assume that you are advanced enough to truly understand all the primary and secondary elements of composing guitar solos (or you have a guitar teacher to help you). Each of the many elements need to be learned and/or practiced in order to easily create awesome solos that you like. Where should you begin? What should you focus on first, second, third? Which of these things should you practice simultaneously? There is always a specific order in which musical skills should be learned and mastered in order to EXPLODE your musical skills. Unfortunately, that order is totally different for every person, style of music, musical goal, skill set and knowledge, so giving an example here would be pointless. My advice, find the b est teacher you can and study with him/her in order to be able to do what you want to do with your guitar much faster and easier.
8. Not Isolating Problem Areas. Few guitar players are aware of the small things that hold them back in big ways. Because these little imperfections seem insignificant to us, we often ignore them. The truth is, small hinges open big doors. In the video mentioned above I explained how allowing your guitar pick to lose its momentum when you are not picking a note on the guitar makes your playing slow and sloppy . which will make you feel very frustrated. This is why I was sure to make a special point to help you avoid that mistake. Check out the small sample sweep picking video for more details: http://tomhess.net/3StringArpeggiosLessonFull.aspx .
9. Learning And Practicing Guitar In A Step By Step Linear Process. Does following a linear step by step approach to learning, practicing and mastering guitar seem like common sense good to you? Yes it does And that is why guitar players who follow such a path are NOT great guitar players. Im going to let you in an insiders secret The truth is, following a linear approach to learning guitar, practicing guitar, and mastering guitar is the NUMBER ONE REASON WHY GOOD GUITAR PLAYERS STRUGGLE TO BECOME GREAT GUITAR PLAYERS I originally thought I would write an article on this one point alone, but I think you will learn this concept better in another short video I recorded while I was doing a recent guitar instructional clinic tour a few months ago. Check out this free sample from my clinic on how to practice guitar http://tomhess.net/LinearVsGeometricApproach.aspx .
10. Practicing Guitar In The Same Way Your Favorite Guitar Players Practice Guitar. Have you ever read about how your favorite guitar players practice guitar and then tried to repeat the same practice routine? Yes, Ive made this mistake too! It seems natural to use a similar guitar practice schedule that our favorite guitar players are using. This is a mistake, because your current guitar skill level and knowledge of music is probably very different from your favorite player. His/her challenges and needs are likely not the same as yours.
Professional guitar players practice for different reasons than most amateur players do. For example, before recording a new album I will practice very differently compared to the period before going on tour. Once Im actually on tour my practice routine changes drastically again. The rest of the year my practicing schedule changes yet again. This happens because in each case my challenges and goals are totally different. When my guitar students ask me, Tom, how do you practice guitar? Im careful not to let my students assume that they should practice the same way that I do. Your practice schedule and strategy needs to be built around YOU and you only! If you need help building your own practice schedule, email me directly.
11. Learning From Too Many Different Sources Of Information. There will always be many learning opportunities and various paths to take, but it is critical that you do not get distracted into following a piece of advice from one person, then another piece of advice from another person and then follow more resources from somewhere else and so on and so on… while different people may have some good ideas to offer, the fact is, distraction is a big reason why many guitar players who are actively learning, don’t really move forward quickly… these people are always busy following totally different resources, teachers, philosophies, instructional videos, free online guitar lessons, but all of this leads them to take one step forward, then 2 steps to the right, then one step forward, then 3 steps to the left, then one step backward, then two to the right, then 1 step forward and then another step to the left…
An illustration of this is shown below. The first path is obviously the most direct way to arrive to your goals. The second path is the inefficient approach filled with many distractions that come from various pieces of advice from many sources:
Once you have an effective strategy to become the guitar player you want to be, ALWAYS stay focused on it (unless your goals radically change)!! The very best way to do this is to have ONE primary guitar teacher who helps you to become the musician you really want to be.
This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t take advice from other people too, but you should have one ‘primary’ source of information, training and coaching, and see the other advice as an additional resource, but do not become distracted by it.

This is what the Chicago Tribune has to say about Las Vegas Forget about London and New York. No place other than Vegas has forty million visitors a year that come and want to see at least two shows.
Today, this quote holds true more than ever. Las Vegas is the new Mecca of fun and frolic. It is the leader in providing a variety of entertainment ideas which have the visitor spoilt for choice. If anyone thinks that Las Vegas is only about celebrity impersonators and celebrity tribute shows, then they have another think coming. Vegas is home to the most amazing production shows on the planet which leave the visitor awe-struck by their sheer extravagance. Lets discuss some of the more popular ones:
The Cirque Du Soleil shows Literally meaning circus of the sun, a cirque show is a modern circus of sorts, a circus without animals and rings. Each show has a central theme and storyline, and draws the audience into the performance through strong emotional music played from start to end. The cast consisting of dancers, singers, musicians, acrobats, etc are international and world class. The shows are full of energy and may include anything from illusions, artistry, acrobatics to dance, puppetry, music and poetry. They are designed to capture the audiences attention and keep it there.
Displayed on a massive scale, these shows are a riot of colors, sights and sounds. Each show comes up with something new, unique and different. The more prominent ones performed in Las Vegas are Mystere which is a kaleidoscope of brilliant colors and strange creatures, O which is an unparalleled, aquatic show performed in and above a 1.5 million gallon pool of water, Ka an Egyptian marvel, Zumanity an adult show exploring human sexuality, and Beatles Love a show intertwining the Beatles music with the cirque experience. The cirque show offers the most amazing spectacle which has to be seen to be believed. It takes you beyond circus into a spectacular and psychedelic world of entertainment which you wont forget for years to come.
The Broadway Tribute shows These shows are a must-see on every true music-lovers itinerary. They relive the magic of the worlds greatest Broadway musicals over the past fifty years. At any given time there are numerous shows playing, which have the best songs from well-known musicals, all rolled into a refreshing medley. You can also catch full-fledged shows of famous musicals like Phantom of The Opera and The Jersey Boys, being performed at one or the other casino or hotel. They sure are a great way to spend your evening.
Musical review shows These shows are musical adaptations of a popular Hollywood movie or animated feature film. They could even be an adaptation of a book or best-seller. Popular shows in recent history are the musical adaptations of Legally Blond, Finding Nemo,etc. These shows make great family entertainers. They are characterized by grand sets, good music and feel-good performances.
Vegas shows have become impossibly elaborate and over the top. But when it comes to providing first-rate entertainment, they are the most amazing shows on earth.

Ideating the drums rather than really feeling and playing them will only make you burned-out and frustrated, so the best thing to do is sign up for drum lessons in order to really go through your dreams of being a drummer.
In reality, drumming is actually easy. Most people are intimidated by the complex beats the drum and drummer create. But in world, these beats are just variations of easy patterns. Right! Anyone can learn the drums. All it takes is successive studying and familiarity and mastery of these easy beats and patterns. Soon you’ll be master of the drum set.
But before exposing yourself at the drum set, first things first. One of the most essential lessons in drums and music is sheet reading. There are various symbols which will be familiarized as time goes by, but sheet reading is the base which will enable you to play the drums.
Being a drummer, your sole duty is to count the beat. Inability to count the beat correctly wont make you able to play the drum correctly. For beginners, they are usually taught how to count by beating on a single drum. A metronome may be employed to help while tapping.
Knowing how to play with a single beat may be tiring and persistent to some however, becoming expert on these two skills is essential. You will learn new beats, more complicated hits and other techniques as you progress.
Some students feel it slow and try to push lessons, not minding that they have not mastered the fundamentals. Rushing will only curb your development and it would be better to master the basic principles before venturing further. Of course, once you discover that you are ready for more, there are intermediate and innovative lessons for more professional drummers out there.
