Satch is one of my favourites so, I just had to add this YouTube Video to the site. With a lot of the ‘great’ guitarists like steve vai and joe satriani, their experience, technique and knowledge is so far out of reach of the average student. Guys like Joe Satriani have incredible speed and accuracy, that I and many other just can’t get close to.
Anyway I found this movie tutorial on YouTube and thought it would be great to share because the skill level sits where an intermediate guitarist can get something from it.
Well as a muso you may find that you’re not really interested in working for the ‘MAN’. Well, if you’re a bass player you’ll probably have a small stream of income coming in as where usually well educated musicians. Although Bass seems easy to play, it isn’t really if you want to do it well.
What would be great is that if you could continue playing music and another income stream that allowed you to be creative and even include your passion every step of the way. That’s what I do. In the process of finding alternative incomes I’ve developed some great internet savvy. I know what affiliate programs you can put on your sites to earn money and even how to build sites that convert well. I know where to purchase the traffic as well. Most importantly, I know who are the big rip-offs. I write about all of this in my Affiliate List Blog.
So, if you want to earn money on the net, learn about how I do it at The Affiliate List. This is not a scam, and I don’t want your money. This isn’t a system or pyramid selling scheme, you will not be telling your neighbors about this stuff. You’ll still have to work-out what affiliate programs and adzone selling partners you will have. This is also not easy money, but it is ongoing and residual.
STRINGS AND TUNING: Guitars have strings, true. Electric guitars usually have plain steel strings with Low E, A and D wound in a steel material usually nickel. The higher strings are not would and are just varias guages of plain steel. Occasionally a guitarist feels it necessary to have a wound G. This is consistent with the usual set up of an acoustic guitar but not generally applied to the electric variety.
INTONATION:
Intonation is the note a string rings at a given point of the neck. When your intonation is out it means that notes are not sounding at certain frets as they should (either sharper or flatter). There are factors that effect an instruments intonation, some are - string guage, string composite and the age of the strings. Tired old strings will not vibrate as they should. It is possible to stretch a string unevenly this will cause the vibration of the string to differ from that of a new string and will force intonation to ‘go-out’. It is advised for that reason to never set an instruments intonation with old strings. That’s true for any stringed instrument. Remember when setting intonation on a guitar that by lengthening the strings ability to ring will lower the note value at any given point of the neck.
