AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Hardcore Punk: Social Distortion

The iconic grey X Face Zip Up Hoodie memorializes a band that has withstood the test of time. Social Distortion has been around since 1978 and even disbanded in 1985. Luckily for hardcore punk fans, the band got back together in 1986 and has been producing albums marked by their distinctive and melodic rockabilly sound. This grey, zip up hoodie features the band's name, Social Distortion, written in metallic silver across the front. The logo of a skeleton holding a cigarette is sandwiched between the two words in the band's name. Of course the lettering and imagery is just as twisted as the band's collective persona as societal misfits. Would you expect a punk band to be represented in any other way?

Hard Rock: Disturbed

For something with a little more color, fans of the band Disturbed might like the classic Blue Fade Zip Up Hoodie. This metal hoodie features the gothic imagery of fire-eyed monster breaking free of its chains and a castle on the back. This is a metal hoodie that tells a dark story in addition to keeping one warm. This band came together in 1996 and has been producing hard rock albums ever since. While their sound may be hard to pin down, this band likes to focus on quality and artistry rather than keeping up with trends.

Heavy Metal: Biohazard

The Rockers Pullover Hoodie pays tribute to the band, Biohazard. With an all black background this pullover metal hoodie features a bright orange emblem on the front and the band's name on the back in a way that exudes a certain post-apocalyptic feel. This band has been striking its own chord since getting together in 1987. These pioneers were one of the first bands credited with fusing elements from hardcore punk, heavy metal and hip-hop. While going through many label changes and differences of opinion, Biohazard has produced its most recent album in 2012. Biohazard also began a tour in January 2012. This hoodie is a perfect way to show support for this band when it comes to town. Of course, wearing it the day after the concert will show off a thriving social life.

From the long-standing bands to the fledgling groups, a metal hoodie allows you to be a part of music history. Whether someone is a traditionalist wearing logos from classic metal bands or a cutting edge music enthusiast that supports a group from its humble beginnings, a sweatshirt is the only way to showcase band loyalty.

Songwriting - 4 Tricks for Writing a Great Melody

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Let's look at a few ways to come up with a melody for your song.

1. Simple repetition

This one's easy. You just repeat the same note over and over. It's actually a great way to experiment with different potential rhythms to use in your melody, because if you only have one note in your melody, the only variable becomes the rhythm.

If you use this approach, it usually works best to make a slight note change at the very end of a melody line. Katy Perry's "Part of Me" are a good example of this. The first few lines of melody in the song are all sung on one note, until the very last note of the line. Then there's a change.

2. An Ascending Pattern

Using an ascending scale pattern can be an easy way to come up with a melodic motif. You can experiment with different ascending patterns in addition to your rhythms. For example, you can try using the first, second, third and fifth notes of your scale. I'll denote that like this: 1 - 2 - 3 - 5. Or You can try the 1 - 3 - 5 notes of your scale. You can even try repeating notes on your way up. Maybe the notes of your melody will do something like this, based 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 3.

3. A Descending Pattern

If we can have a ascending pattern as our motif, then we could also use a descending pattern instead. You can use the notes of your song's scale to create patterns like: 5 - 5 - 1, or 3 - 2 - 1.

4. A Zig Zagging Pattern

Zig zagging the notes of a scale is another way to come up with "shapes" for the pitches in your melody. To create a pattern like this, you would simply jump up and then back down, and then back up again. Something like: 1 - 5 - 3 - 8.

When you're experimenting of any of these different ways to organize the pitches of a scale to create a melody, you should also mess with the rhythm of your notes. You can try playing all the notes as eight notes, but then holding out the last note as a half note. Or reversing that order. Changing the rhythm can give you a wide variety of sounds to come up with.

Another way to modify your melody when it repeats itself, is to keep the rhythm the same, but to raise it in pitch the second time you hear it. For example, if the notes you've established in one line of your melody are E - F - G, you can change them to F - G - A the second time they're sung. If you do this, you can keep the rhythm the same as it was in the first line, but you're modifying your motif based solely on the pitches being presented.

Four Reasons To Use Plectrums For Stringed Instruments

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Finding the right pick is a crucial part of learning how to play a musical instrument. Fender, Gibson, Epiphone and Pickmaster have all come up with plectrums that could provide not only protection to the guitar players hands but also aid the whole learning process.

However, is this really applicable in all stringed instruments? The answer would have to be a yes. If you love finger picking whether playing a classic guitar or a bass guitar, you have to realize the importance of strumming. Here are some of the most important points why it is still imperative for any musician playing a stringed instrument to learn how to use the pick.

1. Develops Rhythm

Rhythm is important in music. Though you can also have it with finger picking, strumming using your plectrums can make the big difference. When you have a fast song for instance, you really don't expect finger picking to work. You don't see rock stars perform using their fingers only. Even Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers was seen playing with bass picks on one of their rock concerts.

2. It Reduces the Injuries

Your hands are not designed to hit the metal chords for long hours of playing. For a five minute song, maybe you can use your hands. However, for someone practicing the guitar for a long period of time; this might not be the case. You have to consider that some chords could even be sharp giving you a painful experience as you play the guitar.

3. Perform Awesome Solos

For someone who is planning to be the lead guitarist, you have to make sure that you know how to perform the solos. Solos are structured to the different scales and in this case it would require precision. Fast and complicated solos may use the combination of both plucking and finger picking. Having the right pick can give what a band needs especially with songs filled with 2 minute solos specifically those that are under the metal genre.

4. Be a Versatile Player

There are players that can only be good on one genre. This is true especially with classical guitar players that make use of finger picking as their only main style in playing the guitar. With the use of picks, you can have a great number of genres that you can actually explore. From rock to pop melodies, all of these things can easily be adapted to.

With all of these things that you can actually get from the right plectrum, it is imperative that you know how to select the right one. You will be surprised on how diversified products can be today. For instance, there are those plectrums that would have a rough surface especially for those that would want to have long term picks. For those trying to have a great number of picks on a regular basis, they can opt for the cheaper versions with smooth surfaces. You also have to recognize that Fender, Gibson, Pickmaster, and Epiphone may have different types of trademarks on their products. This simply means that it is based on each guitar player on how he wants the pick to be.

Pickmasterplectrums.com offers a great variety of picks for all sorts of musicians. Today, they are offering picks from Pickmaster, Fender and even Gibson for a really good price.

How to Hire a Good Wedding DJ

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

An entertaining and exciting (not to mention punctual) DJ for your reception can be an arduous task, considering that with the times today, a lot of the DJ agencies are now online. This can make it very hard to distinguish a legitimate DJ company and a dodgy DJ agency who doesn't handle a lot of weddings. Here are our top tips for hiring a wedding DJ for your special day.

1. Make Sure they are licensed: A very important point is to ensure that the company you are looking at hiring are licensed and a member of the appropriate bodies within their industry and the country in which you reside in. We have been told of horrendous stories about couple's whose weddings were shut down half way due to licensing issues with the DJ. It is best to make sure before booking!

2. Online Presence & Appearance: A well presented web site and online presence is a key factor into making an informed decision about a company and is a major aspect in determining whether you are communicating with a endowed DJ agency. If the website is old and with tacky photos, then more than likely the DJ who will be coming out to your wedding will be of the same standard. A good online presence portrays a good overall agency.

3. Ask for Live Demo's: When communicating with the agency, even though they make come across as professional, it is really difficult to say until you actually hear some of their past work. In order to determine their music style and mixing abilities the DJ possesses, request a demo of the music styles you are interested in having at your wedding before you think about confirming a booking with the company or the DJ. They can send you a link on the internet to cloud hosting or even mail you a CD. Do not book until you have heard at least one live demo from a previous wedding they have been trusted with.

4. Their Song List: First of all, establish what styles and genres you would like to be played on your big day. Once this has been decided upon, you want to make sure that the DJ has the music that you want or at least is willing to go out and get it if he does not already have this. If the DJ does not have the songs you are after on his playlist, then there is no reason as to why you should make a booking with that agency and it is that simple.

5. How long have they been a Wedding DJ? The last thing you want at your wedding is a DJ with no experience. When booking, see what the minimum experience level of the DJ's at their company is. For a day as big as this, you want an experienced and well rounded disc jockey who can create an ambience, forge a mood or even start a party. Around about 3 years experience as a DJ is a good start and any less is under experienced for a high pressure day such as a wedding.

6. Cost: The cheapest option is not always the best. As the saying goes, You get what you pay for is definitely something you should be thinking about especially when trusting a company with the entertainment for your wedding. Don't be scared to spend a decent amount of your budget on music and entertainment as it is one of the bigger aspects of your wedding reception. To ensure quality, think more along the lines of value as opposed to strictly thinking about cost. What do you get when you book a dj? A low price can mean a low quality DJ coming to your wedding and this can leave you embarrassed and filled with regret.

7. Talk with the manager: Call up and have a conversation with the company you are most interested in hiring for the day. You can usually tell from their phone manner and professionalism if they are a class act or a phoney.

Please take a look at a Wedding DJ in Sydney. If all the above tips are a BIG TICK, then it is pretty safe to say that you are right to not only make a booking, but you have probably ensured an entertaining and successful wedding.

Best Loved Operas - Verdi's La Traviata

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

One of the most famous and loved operas of all time is Verdi's La Traviata. You will hear bits from the opera in films such as Pretty Woman starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, and the drinking song, Libiamo, is a favourite at corporate entertainment events. At opera galas, the leading heroine's arias are often featured, and it gives the soprano the chance to really shine as she showcases her coloratura, high notes and long melodic lines.

What is it about La Traviata that pulls so much on people's heartstrings? Let us have a look at this wonderful piece of music. The music is strikingly and achingly beautiful. It has the most lovely melodic lines, wonderful harmonies and musical depth. You can really understand the different characters from the music they sing.

The story of La Traviata is one that seems to grab audiences emotionally too. There are three main characters; Violetta (a soprano) who is a courtesan, her lover Alfredo (a tenor) as well as his father, Germont (a baritone). As with the majority of operas, there are smaller characters too, but in this case they are not that important to the story. The plot of La Traviata is quite straightforward for a change. Violetta and Alfredo fall in love. Alfredo's father Germont disapproves and manages to make Violetta leave. Despite being a courtesan, Violetta is a good-hearted woman and not interested in Alfredo's money. Alfredo doesn't understand why Violetta leaves. He is greatly upset and their parting is bitter. At the end of the opera, as Violetta is dying, Alfredo's father tells him the truth. Alfredo rushes to be at Violetta's side, but he is too late and Violetta dies soon after he gets there after just having maken amends.

La Traviata is based on a play adapted from a book by Alexandre Dumas called La Dame aux Camelias (The Lady of Camellias) from 1852.Verdi wanted the opera to have a contemporary setting, but the authorities at the famous opera house in Venice, La Fenice, insisted it had to be set in the past. The first performance took place there in 1853. It wasn't an overnight success, but that had a lot more to do with the leading lady, the soprano Fanny Salvini-Donatelli, who was deemed too old and too fat to be portraying a character who is dying from consumption. The audience also took a dislike to the professional opera singers singing Alfredo and Germont, and it was not till a few years later, and after a bit of revising by the composer that La Traviata started having more success. Today, in opera houses and at opera festivals all around the world, it never fails to wow audiences. At corporate entertainment events and opera galas, arias and duets from La Traviata will always impress and move people. It is without doubt one of the most loved operas of all time.

3 Reasons To Buy A Gibson Guitar

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

You are almost never making the wrong choice when you decide to buy a Gibson guitar. While they are primarily known for Les Paul guitars, Gibson has built an entire array of quality instruments and has done so for more than 75 years. Their spirit and innovation has been respected by many of the top guitarists in the world and they haven't stopped yet. Here are a few major breakthroughs they've made throughout guitar history:

- 1981- ES-335
- 1982- Les Paul
- 1994- Nighthawk Model

Greats like B.B. King and Chet Atkins consistently used Gibson guitars during their performances as they proved to be highly effective over and over again. Let's take a look at why you should buy a Gibson guitar and it will almost never be a bad choice.

Les Paul Studio Electric Guitar

In case you don't know, Les Paul's are among the best quality electric guitars you can buy. They are sleek in design and offer a sound that you cannot find in most instruments. The Les Paul Studio was designed for studio musicians who were interested in producing their own distinct sound. Compared to most Les Paul models, the Studio is relatively easy on the price tag and should prove to be a nice investment for any serious guitar player.

Gibson SG Standard Electric Guitar

If you want to buy a Gibson guitar, then you shouldn't do so before taking a look at the Gibson SG Standard electric guitar. This guitar comes in a Cherry color and was first introduced way back in 1961. Today, it happens to be one of Gibson's best sellers. It has beveled edges, pointed horns, and distinct cutaways. It is one of the few electric guitars on the market that really stands out in terms of visual appeal.

Gibson Midtown Custom Electric Guitar

When people want to buy a Gibson guitar, the Gibson Midtown is another solid choice. It offers a design that has been very popular throughout history and this electric guitar continues to be a best seller. A lot of people consider it the ultimate hybrid between the Les Paul and several other models. It has a mahogany body and the weight is strategically displaced throughout the instrument to ensure optimal sound quality.

If you've ever seen the Gibson ES-335 then you can probably see how closely it resembles the Midtown. The only difference is that the Midtown focuses more on comfort but still doesn't compromise on the sound. The fingerboard is slightly larger than other models and this helps locate notes and strum patterns. You can use this guitar for pleasure or you can use it for music production. This is why the ES-335 is such a solid choice.

Conclusion

If you want to buy a Gibson guitar then make sure to do some research. The ones listed in this article are among the most prestigious from Gibson but there are definitely an entirely other realm of guitars that you should look into. Make sure that you choose one that you'll love.
