singerteen If you want to play rock, use the blues, minor pentatonic, or blues minor scales. Hotel california has a great solo. To build dexterity, loosen up your fingers, and get used to fingering the fingerboard, you can use what's called the spider exercise by keeping...

pamelaanne @pamelaanne (283) • Philippines 12 Jun 09

Or at least wanted and tried to? I feel like doing a song. Where do you get inspiration?

Is death a road from a celebrity to a Legend?

bigott @bigott (618) • India 27 Jun 09

Whether its the member of Club 27 (Cobain,Joplin,Hendrix,Morrison),Presely,Mercury or the latest Michael Jackson..death is necessary for a celebrity to become a legend.

3 responses

singerteen You have to be legendary during your life time before you can be a legend after your death. This was shown by a local musician (Darcy Clay) who commited suicide soon after kirk cobains death because he thought he could become a legend that way, and never...

What will you miss about Michael Jackson?

stevelvis @stevelvis (394) • Philippines 3 Jul 09

Michael Jackson is a total performer in his unique style. Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson are the only top solo artist for me. I wished he had stayed longer. What do you like about MJ and what will you miss from him?

3 responses

singerteen Killer dancing with a stick figure body, extremely good songwriting skills, killer style. I think anyone who gets that famous can go a bit nuts because of the life style, e.g. Britney Spears.

singerteen When I was first introduced to music when I was younger, the only music I thought much of, or that moved me was trippy music, and sad music. I could relate to the misery, pain, and withdrawl...Radiohead were one of the bands I could relate to.

singerteen Most of his songs are great, but the one which I identify most with queen is bohemian rhapsody. It's a rock opera full of climaxes and anticlimaxes, with Freddie Mercurys typical classical/rock sound.

Lyrics or Music?

singerteen I look for music that's fresh, clever, popular, stylish, and technically skilled. Lyrics and music have to both work well, and go well together, but the melody is what makes the lyrics and song musical to me.

singerteen You can start with simple stuff, i.e. strumming chords, playing covers (non-originals), reading/playing tabliture, and then, if you feel you want to, move onto more advanced stuff. This should be easy if you really love your guitar music. One of the first...
