Via Invisible Oranges, I discovered a treasure trove of artists who have covered the lads’ Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. A few of the tracks I had come across before but one stuck out. A version by Lesley Gore. Yes, the Lesley Its My Party Gore. From the album When Pigs Fly, a collection of [...]

The tuba is best known as a member of the brass family, though it is also known as a wind instrument and an aerophone. It is a rather new instrument as it only first appeared in the mid 1800s. It has the lowest pitch of all the brass instruments and like other brass instruments is played by blowing directly into the mouthpiece through closed lips. This creates the vibration needed to make the sound. What also makes this instrument unique is that there is a record with the exact date that the creators of the instrument granted a patent for it. Apparently, the instrument was first recognized as

The bugle is a small brass instrument that is basically a natural horn, because it has no valves or keys. One might wonder how the pitch is altered without any keys or valves; the pitch can be altered by controlling the air that the musician is blowing into the horn through closed lips. Blowing through closed lips is what creates the vibrations that make the sound. Of course, even with the ability to alter pitch manually without keys or valves, the instrument is fairly limited to a smaller range of notes it can make; which appears to be five notes at most.

How do you become a known entity in the music industry? Can it be done? Is it as hard as everyone tells you it is? I think not. Musicians are in the best positions of their life.

String bending is among the most difficult guitar techniques to implement correctly, especially for beginners. But it is an essential skill that any serious guitarist must learn.

For all of you up and coming guitar heroes out there, I have put together a couple of easy guitar solos and riffs for you to try out. One of the most frustrating things when starting to learn how to play guitar is trying to learn a solo, riff or even a whole song that you're not ready for. What ends up happening is your confidence starts to fade and before you know it you stop playing altogether. The trick is to start off with easy songs or solos and practice them until you know them inside and out.

Have you been running around in circles trying to make your big break in the music industry? Do you find yourself in a rut, getting gigs but nothing really tangible to push you into the next phase of the music game. Do you wonder how other bands and musicians make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year (even though you never hear them on the radio or see them on MTV)? Want to know how you can change your fate and become one of THEM?

It is necessary as a singer to take care of your voice, even if this means attending long singing practices on a daily basis. Practice helps the ever hopeful singer to be spotted by a recording studio as well as improving the quality of the voice.

A voice, once heard and never forgotten: the velvety smooth voice of Barry White belongs there. His celestial voice has the capacity to take his listener to an entirely different world filled with happiness and sheer bliss. Barry White chose 'fourth of July ', the most important day in the history of America, to bid fare well to his adoring fans and family- one expects no less from a man who is larger than life! Barry White died on a Friday morning at Cedars Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles. It was a great loss to music lovers all over the world and of course, to his loving family. That distinctive soul sound, that husky growl with the velvety chocolate edge has influenced many lives since the early 70s.
