The guitar was once considered a folk music instrument, but it now also qualifies as a videogame controller. Thanks to a collaborative effort from RedOctane, Harmonix and MTV Games, the genre of gigantic interactive controllers is no longer confined to dance pads, imitation firearms and the slightly disturbing chainsaw that now comes with Resident Evil 4. Guitar Hero ' for PlayStation 2 costs a mean $70, including all the essentials for videogame musicians: game guitar-shaped controller, instruction

I’ve been playing the violin for twelve and a half years, and I absolutely love it. Playing the violin has blessed me with countless opportunities, friends, and experiences that I cherish. The lessons that I learn from playing the violin are applicable in everyday situations and are invaluable to my growth as a player and a person.Without the violin, I don’t know where or who I would be. It has given me a passion, a desire to work and learn, a love for people, and so much more. Through my musical

String instruments Sting instruments are musical instruments that are made from wood and have strings. They make their sound when their strings vibrate. This causes the body of the instrument as well as the air inside to vibrate too. The strings are either plucked with the hand or a bow is drawn across the strings. In an orchestra the four string instruments are the violin, the viola, the cello and the bass. • Violin • Viola • Cello • bass The Violin The violin is the smallest and highest pitched

beautiful music into the air. The door had two beautiful saxaphone handles and the windows were lined with flutes and clarinets. As Artie walked into the store, he saw that the walls were lined with instruments of ever differing shapes and sound. String instruments, like guitars and violins, hung on one was, and across from it, another wall was covered in bongos and drum sets. But as Artie looked at the far wall across from him, his breath was taken away. For in between the two walls was the grand

Tabs can be simply described as a drawing of the guitar strings on paper. During that class, I was also driven watch some of my classmates, whom knew how to play, and learn from them. Learning to play the piano doesn't have as much variety. I had to either read sheet music or watch someone else play. The only

After a pause, she added, “But I suppose, in reality, a spy’s life isn’t all that glamorous.” To change the subject, I ran my fingers over the guitar strings and asked, “What’s that song you hum all the time? I can’t place it.” She looked puzzled. Damn. The tune was so ingrained in her she wasn’t aware she vocalized it. “It goes like this.” I played a dozen notes. “No!” She burst into tears and ran into

different note, one half-step apart from the next, just like each fret on a bass or guitar. However, there is only one row of notes, unlike the aforementioned bass or guitar, which (usually) has four and six rows respectively, because of the different strings. The white keys on a piano are called “natural notes”. Notes like A, E, and G are natural notes. The keys are the sharps and flats. Notes like A# are what sounds when a black key is pressed. Now, there are a few key (no pun intended) elements to playing

learning process at beginning wasn’t so smooth. According to my grandparents, my everyday practice was like a nightmare which combined with my complaining, sawing wood sound, and sound of demonstration video. I sometimes dropped violin on bed to make the string lose and tight it again to waste time. Unfortunately one time, the violin slipped from bed to the tiled floor and broke into pieces. I thought my

mystery, suspense, romance, and maybe even a bit of comedy into an intriguing story that you just can't walk away from. James Ellroy, the self proclaimed Demon Dog of American Literature, has produced a masterpiece in the third book in his L. A. Quartet. L. A. Confidential is a great example of this genre of literature. It combines multiple love stories, multiple crimes, and a slew of characters into a work of art that is as highly dramatic as it is suspenseful. This is a book that will literally
