The Godfather Principles of Your Guitar Effects Online Business

Flamenco guitar is an art that it is hard to master. But is it possible to play a flamenco guitar melody that is easy to learn for a beginner. Come and see!

Flamenco is a song, music and dance style which has its roots in Moorish and Jewish musical traditions.

Flamenco culture has become one of the icons of Spanish music and even Spanish culture in general.

The flamenco guitar comes from the lute and is made of Spanish cypress and spruce and is smaller than a classical guitar with a sharper sound.

Malaguena is a flamenco style with its roots in the local fandango of Malaga.

You will not need to read sheet music to play this flamenco guitar piece. We will instead use guitar tablature. You will only use four strings on the guitar.

The string with the highest pitch is called the first string or E-string. Look at the following guitar tab with four strings indicated:

1. -------------------------

2. ---------0-----------0---

3. -----1-----------1-------

4. -2-----------2-----------

This is a tablature staff and the number 2 on the fourth string indicate that you play the fourth string while pressing down the second fret.

The next note is played on the first fret on the third string. The zero indicate that you play the note without pressing down any fret.

Play the melody with your thumb and with your first finger resting on the first string for later use.

Here is the next guitar tablature part:

1. -------------------------

2. -----1---0---------------

3. -2-----------2---0-------

4. ---------------------3---

After the last note on the third fret on the fourth string you just start over again with the first guitar tab staff.

Now it is time to introduce your first finger on your right hand into the melody. After every note you play with your thumb you just have to pluck the first string with your first finger. In guitar tab it looks like this:

1. -----0-------0------

2. -----------------0--

3. ---------1----------

4. -2------------------

And so on for the rest of the melody!

I hope you will find this very simplified flamenco guitar tab melody enjoyable. I guess many people will recognize the melody when they hear you play it.

Flamenco guitar playing is of course an art that is hard to master but this little flamenco piece doesn't sound so bad. Does it!

If you're like many of the other millions of Ipod users out there, you take your little Ipod with you everywhere. Every time you expect it to perform flawlessly, and most of the time it does. However, after months and months of use and abuse, years even, your little Ipod isn't so keen on performing like it did when it was brand new, so one day when you wake up and greet your little Ipod with ears ready for music listening it doesn't greet you back. Instead, it frowns on you and tells you to contact Apple for support only to realize your warranty just ran out 3 days ago. Out of luck? No! Luckily there is a solution to the Ipod Sad Face.

Ipod sad Face Solution

1. Hug it tightly and give it a good kiss, because what you're about to do is not recommended by Apple support, but a very big group of bloggers who have found the solution to this problem.
2. Firmly grasp your Ipod.
3. Slam it (charging port down) onto your desk, a dresser, a table, anything around you that is flat, sturdy, and quite possibly won't hurt you Ipod, you can use a mouse pad or something slightly soft to cushion it a little bit, if you feel insecure about doing this, have a friend do it, because they won't have an emotional attachment to your Ipod.
4. Now repeat step 3 two more times, and wait for your Ipod to rise out of the grave feeling rejuvenated and happily greets you with your favorite tunes.

What seems to happen is after using it time and time again, the hard drive connection to the Ipod seems to loosen up so much that it can no longer detect the connection and/or communicate with the Ipod. By slamming it down onto the desk you secure the connection so that way your Ipod can now detect your hard drive.

Make sure you take care when slamming your Ipod onto anything, because you don't want to hurt your Ipod or the 'anything' that you're slamming it onto. I, personally have experienced this problem and followed the above steps to fix it, now my trusty 20GB Ipod Photo is working just as happily as it was the first day I got it.
