Notion: A Look at the Music Notation Software for iPad As you may recall, I reviewed Symphony Pro late last year and hailed it as a good start and the best we have available to us for notating music on the iPad. I believe that Notion may have just raised the bar. I found that the actual act of notation on Notion was far more intuitive and a bit quicker than with other apps, which is fantastic. But one of the real joys of Notion is the playback. The only drawback is that not all instruments are included within the app, and additional instruments are available via in-app purchases. The app sports reverb and distortion effects too, plus a full audio mixer. In addition to notation, you can also create tab or offer up notation and tab (which is handy as an educator). The app supports transposition and lyrics as well as various articulations (trills, hammer-ons, and so on.) Music can be imported via .notion files, MIDI, MusicXML or GuitarPro 3-5 files. Notion is compatible with iPad, and requires iOS 4.2 or later. Notion Music’s App Demo:
Guitar Lessons, Interviews, News, Reviews, & More | Guitar Messenger – Auditioning For Lady Gaga June 21st, 2011 by Ben Levin Dear Fellow Musicians, In January 2010 I had the opportunity to audition for the guitarist position on Lady Gaga’s international arena tour. I made it to the final 15 guitarists and learned a few valuable things about the music business, particularly the music world outside of Berklee. I think it is definitely worth reading this because the experience was fascinating. The audition opportunity fell on my lap by sheer luck. Lady Gaga My name is Ben Levin and I am a guitarist interested in auditioning for Lady Gaga’s band. Here is my website for some more examples: I hope you enjoy the music! After I found out that I had been accepted to audition, I immediately began absorbing Lady Gaga’s repertoire. The first day of auditions was on Monday, January 18th, 2010 in New York City. A few hours went by and the casting staff told the guitarists to line up. The first guitarist played for about 6 seconds before the judges told him to stop.
16 Legendary Fingerpicking Patterns For tabs see below. Fingerpicking style is a technique that is used in many famous and legendary songs over the years. The 16 examples in this post are a good source to learn the most common fingerpicking patterns you will ever come across. The fingerpicking patterns can be applied to almost every folk, pop, country or rock song. Try and figure out which pattern suits your favorite song. I personally think pattern #12 is a really nice one. Right hand finger positioning Now let’s take a look at the finger positioning assuming you are a right handed guitar player. For my right hand position I use my thumb to pluck the low-E, A and D-string. For each different chord, you play the corresponding bass note with your right hand thumb. In the video lessons above the tabs I show you what each pattern sounds like and explain the pattern slowly in close up. Practice each and every one of them thoroughly. Enjoy! Did like the patterns and do you like Guitarhabits?
Musical Form There are several ways to approach a composition. Start with overall planning then start sketching. Sketch first then develop an overall plan that fits your ideas. Note: Overall Planning is always in the equation. Sketching without thought of structure leads to aimless stream-of-conscious lack of cohesion. Homemade Instrument Cables Apr 24 We all know that guitars, amps and all the other gear doesn’t come cheap - but there are some things that you can do to save a bit of money. Making your own instrument cables is a simple task given you have the right tools. Made properly, they are just as good as the ones you buy in your local guitar store. The following image shows you the tools you will need. First of all, you will need to cleanly one free end of the cable. I have purchased a standard 1 1/4" plug, made up of 4 sections. I am assuming that the cable you have purchased is approximately the same as this. Carefully cut through the outer casing 2cm or so from the end, down as far as the wire mesh. Next, carefully part the wire mesh to one side, and angle it away from the end of the cable. After the two wires are exposed you should be up to this point below. I have bent the centre core in half so that it fits snugly into the centre hole of the jack plug. Here are the finished joints. Just a second shot of the join
