Welcome to week one of the Song in September Challenge. If you’re not sure what the challenge is, at the end of August I asked you to join me in writing, recording, and mixing just one song in the month of September. I’m going to share my progress with how it’s going, and I’d love you to share your progress too.
This week, it's all about putting the "bones" of the song together. In this post I'll show you how to get started.
Being an Ernie Ball player for over a decade has allowed me to get an idea of how their strings have progressed and how they hold up. When I heard Ernie Ball was releasing an "unbreakable" version of their strings called the Paradigms, I knew I had to review them.
In this review I compare the Ernie Ball Paradigms to a standard set of Slinkys. Check out the audio examples and decide for yourself!
Guitar Pro 7 is here. In this review I show you some of the guitar specific features Arobas has added, why this version is easier than ever for songwriters, how the look and feel of the program has received an overhaul, and why it's the right choice for guitar players who want a fully featured songwriting program that won't break the bank.
When researching great apps in the App Store, I try and look for them to meet at least two criteria. First, the app has to have some real functionality to me, and not just take up space on the phone or tablet's internal drive. Secondly, I look for great design. If an app passes the first test and it's something I use on a daily basis, having it look good is icing on the cake.
With Thomas Grapperon's Chord! he covers both bases.
Students always ask me how to get their guitar videos noticed on YouTube. If you're doing any speaking at all, it's SO important to make sure your voice can be heard clearly.
