Two Uncomplicated Ways of Transforming Your Guitar Sound

Two Uncomplicated Ways of Transforming Your Guitar Sound Suzy S. Are you stuck in a musical rut? New tunings and tricks can help you keep learning guitar in fresh, fun ways. Try one of these great tips from guitar teacher Samuel B. to breathe new life into your guitar playing One of the first things I tell any new student is that I dont specialize in a formal discipline. If jazz or classical training is your objective, then Im not your guy. Instead, I specialize primarily in American roots music (that which we tend to casually lump together as folk and/or rock). Fortunately, my sharing this information has not prompted any student to pick up their instrument and walk out the door. Although it took me literally years to buy it, a collaborator from my college days introduced me to the idea that any musician can bridge stylistic gaps with a few simple tricks. At the time, my position was that I was a blues-rock guitarist and thats all there was to it. However, a simple repeated lick I contributed to a song that he and I compiled a few years later (involving a single minor chord and an effects pedal) introduced a Latin-sounding slant to our primarily standard American sound. If youre stuck in a stylistic box, sometimes simple things can add a little more spice to your guitar playing. Branching Out Into Jazz In many ways, the Blues, Country music, Appalachian sounds (particularly Bluegrass), Gospel, campfire songs, and all forms of singer-songwriter material are really six different versions of the same thing. First of all, they are all based around the same three chords (the ones that are based on the first, fourth, and fifth notes of a scale C, F and G7th for example). Patterns involving these three chords make for everything you will learn in the first three keys (C, D, and E) I will teach you. Playing formal jazz (another basic yet more structurally complex form of American music) involves memorizing not only complex advanced scales, but also chords involving several variations (ie minor seventh suspended) a piece. As indicated, I cant claim relevant training or even the ability to sight-read any chord with more than two variations to its name. However, two simple alternate chord formations will transform a standard one-four-five American roots pattern into the more complex structure of a standard jazz tune. In a previous article, I introduced triads as a precursor to learning barre chords: E|||| B|||| G||-O|| D|-O||| A|||| E|-O||| E|||| B|||| G||-O|| D|-O||| A||-O|| E|||| These two formations (based on the first-position E and B7th chords respectively) make for colorful alternatives to first-position major chords when played together in a one-four-five pattern. Just play the first one a full step two frets up from whichever position in which youre alternating between it and the other one to complete said pattern. They also make for wonderful experimental material. Just a few dry runs up and down the neck of ANY combination of them create the sonic territory of a solo jazz guitar piece. I also recommend experimenting with finger-picking patterns to effectively create melodies to accompany the complex progressions youll be creating. Experimenting With An Open Tuning The best way to enliven your sound without shifting genres is to tune to an open chord. Open D (D, A, F#, D, A, D) is customary for the six genres I cited above. I recently recorded a collaborative album on which I used this tuning exclusively. Predictably enough, strumming it openly produces a D chord. Placing one finger (I recommend the thumb) over the bottom four strings produces major chords theoretically identical yet aurally distinct from the ones in first position (standard tuning). D |||| A |||| F#||-O|| D ||-O|| A ||-O|| D ||-O|| Play around with this tuning (up and down the neck as with the triads). Try variations such as holding down the bottom THREE strings instead. After all, the fourth one is the middle (third) degree of the chord the one that determines whether the chord is major, minor, augmented, diminished, or perhaps some other lesser-known yet equally compelling label. Open tunings are commonplace for many household artists. Joni Mitchell uses them exclusively. Neil Young, Keith Richards, and John Mellencamp are also frequent subscribers. My inspiration for using and sharing the thumb chords is Richie Havens who had relevant instructional material published before his recent death. Open tunings are ideal territory for experimenting with open-handed picking and/or slide techniques (involving the use of a glass or steel tube on the pinkie finger).

Huntington Learning Center Shares Four Things Colleges Are Looking For

Huntington Learning Center Shares Four Things Colleges Are Looking For When college is on the horizon for your high school student, its easy to get overwhelmed thinking about the entire process. From researching financial aid to exploring schools to applying, theres a lot to do in a relatively short period of time. Keeping the big picture in mind is important, says Co-Founder and CEO Elieen Huntington of Huntington Learning Center. Parents and students can easily get bogged down with the college tasks, but forget to focus on what really matters, she says. Teens should put most of their effort toward being the best student they can be in order to be attractive candidates for admission to the colleges to which they apply. And what exactly are colleges looking for? Here are four of the most important student traits, as detailed in the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) 2017 edition of the State of College Admission report: Strong grades No surprise, the NACAC reports that grades, admissions officers top decision factor for first-time college students, are extremely important to colleges. This includes both grades in college preparatory classes as well as all other classes. And dont think that all As are created equal. Your teens strength of curriculum matters as wellmeaning, admissions officers will look for Advanced Placement classes, honors classes, International Baccalaureate, and other similar classes that give them an idea how your teen might perform at college. SAT or ACT scores While a students GPA is one important measure of achievement, his or her scores on a standardized college admissions exam are another good way to assess knowledge of the subjects needed for college. These exams also are intended to evaluate readiness for college, measuring students ability to apply what they learn in school outside of the classroom. Writing skills Not all colleges require an admissions essay, but those that do so are looking to get to know prospective students off paper and get a feel for their ability to articulate experiences. Of course, admissions officers are also interested in understanding whether applicants can communicate effectively and organize their thoughts and have a good command of grammar and writing style. Writing, after all, is an invaluable skill at college and something your teen will be expected to do in just about every class. Passion Colleges seek to create a rich campus community with a diverse student body. Although the factor, extracurricular activities was ranked by the NACACs report as being of considerable importance by just 7.9 percent of colleges surveyed, strong essay came in at 18.9 percent and students demonstrated interest in the college at 13.7 percent. These latter two factors prove that students who express their interests, passions and poignant experiences effectively and take initiative to show their interest in a college will set themselves apart and increase their chances of admission. Huntingtonreminds parents to encourage their teens to check out specific admissions information on each colleges website. Often, colleges are forthright in sharing what theyre looking for in candidates, she says. At any school, however, academic performance and strong preparation is of utmost importance.

LSAT Tip of the Week Understanding the Authors Premise

LSAT Tip of the Week Understanding the Author's Premise LSAT Law School Blog The Argument Section on the LSAT requires a brain in critical thinking mode. This article by Magoosh outlines why it is such an important section. You must be able to identify the author’s conclusion, or the point they are trying to make, as well as the evidence used to support that argument. In this article we will focus on the evidence, also called the author’s premise.Let’s consider this example: Miley has to transfer to UCLA. She lost her spot at Harvard and her wife is moving to Los Angeles. We have to understand two things: The point the author is making (the conclusion) and the evidence the author gives to support his argument (the author’s premise). Why does the author think Miley has to transfer to UCLA? First, she lost her spot at Harvard. Second, her wife is moving to Los Angeles. Both of these support the idea that Miley has to transfer to UCLA. We identified the reasons the author is using to support the point they are making. As you tackle the Argument Section, you have to remain aware of both the author’s conclusion and premises so that you can correctly identify any gaps in logic happening between the two.

TutorZ Trademark Accepted

TutorZ Trademark Accepted TutorZ owns a trademark on its logo issued by the Unites States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). To be exact it is service mark. Service marks differ from trademarks as they are used on the advertising of the service rather than on the packaging or delivery of the service, since there is generally no package to place the mark on. The mark was issued in 2008. Here is our trademark: Patent and trademark laws require a renewal after 5 years. We started this process in 2013. The renewal process was perhaps hardener than the initial trademark application. We made technical mistakes such as changing the owner of the trade mark from TutorZ to Dirk Wagner the owner of TutorZ LLC. This required a re-submission of the renewal request. Each mistake costs another $100 in fees to the USPTO. Eventually, we found it easier to get legal help from the trademark experts Lee Associated in Ann Arbor, MI. Jason Lee was very professional, fast and supportive to work with. Thank you Jason! Very disconcerting was the fact that the USPTO initially rejected the renewal saying we cannot obtain a trademark on the word TutorZ because the word is too close to the natural word tutor . Thats an understandable objection or else people might get a trademark on all English words and force us to charge every time we use this word. In any case the way out of the natural word problem is to describe the service mark and embellish it with style and symbols. The USPTO and TutorZ came up with the following description: The mark consists of a teacher (first T) icon and student (smaller T) embedded in the letters of the brand name Tutorz (pronounced Tutor-zee); the filled circles above the letters T represent stylized heads, the horizontal top part of the the letters T with the hanging end-marks represent a students arms and hands, the vertical part of the letter T represents her body; The teachers color is a golden yellow with black drop shadow; the students color is a crimson red with black drop shadow; the remaining letters u, o, r, and z are colored and filled crimson red as well. The teachers color is a golden yellow with black drop shadow; the students color is a crimson red with black drop shadow; the remaining letters u, o,r, and z are colored and filled crimson red as well. TutorZ ownership of the trademark is public record and its USPTO status can be verify. Here is the USPTO Notice of Acceptance. Congratulations to TutorZ!  Another 10 Years of proud trademark ownership!

A level results day your options if you dont get the grades you need

A level results day â€" your options if you don’t get the grades you need Not getting the A-Level grades you want doesn't mean the end of your university dreams. If you get lower than your current offer, you have the following choices ahead of you. Contact your university of choice If your grades are just under, you might still get accepted by at least one of your choices. And even if you didn't meet the grades of your original offer, you might find that some universities will still offer you a place. Take a gap year This way you can apply to a different University and course next year. What's more used constructively, a gap year can look great on a CV, and make you a more valuable contender for university or future employment. Plus it gives you time to retake your A-Levels. Resit to improve your grades You can do this at school, sixth form or college. You can retake the course in the same way, or you can enrol to resit at your school. If your school doesn't offer this option, look at local sixth forms or colleges that can accommodate you. Resit the course online. This is an excellent option if you want to work and re-take as an online course which will give you flexibility as you will not be confined to a set timetable. This means you can study anywhere you choose, but you will still sit your exam at a school or college on the same date as all other students. For tutors do look at our pages for Maths, Physics, History and more. Look for other courses you may be able to get on Think about other courses or universities. Clearing at UCAS opens from 8 am. If you need to find a new course, you can browse thousands of vacant places, but you cannot apply for a new course until 3 pm. If the university gives you an informal offer, be sure to check how long they're willing to keep the spot open for you. Get as many offers as you want before making up your mind, be wary of those expiry dates! Become an Apprentice Apprenticeships are also a great way to study for a qualification and get real experience. There are a huge variety of apprenticeships available across a wide range of industries, and job roles. As a paid employee, each apprentice works alongside studying. There are no student fees, and the government and your employer will fund your training costs. It's an ideal option if you have a clear idea of the career path you want to follow, providing you with practical, on-the-job training, and classroom-based instruction. Degree apprenticeships are a new type of programme offered by some universities, where students can achieve a full bachelor's or master's degree. Training via this programme means spending part of the time at university and the rest with an employer.
