    Classical music has been around for many years, dating as far back as the 16th century. To hear and see a master at work playing classical guitar music, it might be intimidating to a beginner, but that does not mean you cannot learn. You need to start somewhere and you can work at your own pace, but it is important to take some action. Nothing happens if you do not take action.

  • The Curse of the Musical Legends  By : Dian
    Among my friends on MySpace are four of Bob Marley's children, one son for John Lennon and one daughter of Nat King Cole.

They will always be hovering just over the sea of mediocrity while being judged every step by their father's fame.

  • Shooting Your Own Music Video  By : Dian
    Music videos can be expensive items. It hurts spending thirty, fifty or even a hundred grand of your hard-earned money on something you - basically - give away for free!

    So, it can be very tempting to save some money by shooting your own music video. I mean, video cameras come on cell phones nowadays, and HDTV is becoming less expensive. Cameras are everywhere. They're ubiquitous. And, deep down, everyone really fancies themselves a director - sorry, an auteur, don't they?.....

  • Book Review--Castles and Dungeons and Darkness-Oh My!  By : qinqin
    This is a true late eighteenth century book in the sense that it has a leisurely (very leisurely) opening, a great deal of waxing eloquent on the beauties of nature--which are well written, but so frequent that one becomes inured to them--and enough pages to fill up the four volumes that the book originally was published as (over 600 of them).

    But there's more--castles, and dungeons and darkness, Oh my! In true Gothic fashion, the book does not disappoint in the gloom and suspense department, and is replete with all the trappings that make for some fun reading. There are plenty of scares and false alarms, and a couple of true horrors, and all is told with taste and style. There are certainly flaws, in the modern sense, of the drawn-out plot, and the fainting heroine routine gets a bit tired; but all in all, a fascinating study of an early novel, and a hero and heroine you root for.

    The high moral tone is refreshing though a little too strained; And disappointingly, the sense of being in the late sixteenth century is not as pronounced as one could wish for. (Aside from the castles and the absence of law and order in the land, that is.) More attention could have been given to costume, for instance, instead of just landscape, but the book earns five stars in my opinion for being an immense work that is very readable, even page-turning to a remarkable degree, and has a satisfying denouement. (There are a few elements that stretch plausibility, but this is certainly nothing new in fiction; and, given what the author needed to explain at the end, she does a fine job.)

    Fans of the novel, of Austen and other nineteenth century authors, will find this book interesting in other ways, too. There are whispers of later works in many of the pages; one can hardly miss that Radcliffe influenced the later writers. In addition, any Regency reader worth her salt should read this book, if only because so many Regency heroines did. This Dover edition is unabridged from the original 1794, and my only niggle with it is that I waited in vain to come upon the scene on the cover of the book, but to no avail. (There are tapestries and curtains hiding fearful discoveries, for sure, but none that exactly correspond to the otherwise fitting and intriguing cover illustration.)

    Notwithstanding, my advice is to get the book, and read it. You won't be sorry.

  • Music Theory - How To Understand It  By : essen[c]e
    Most musicians learn "by ear" which basically means that they are hopefully good observers and imitators, remembering where that note was and so on! Hey, a good memory helps. Many great musicians have learned this way; the great Duke Ellington stated a basic truth about music: "If it sounds good it IS good." Rumor has it that many of the great Jazz and blues musicians only had a rudimentary knowledge of music theory although what they performed was excellent music.
