Jazzy Guitar Octaves

Sorry Picture Not Found
Wes Montgomery, legendary jazz guitarist, and master of the Octave.

An Octave is basically the same note played 8 tones higher or lower from where you are currently on the fretboard. When both notes are played at the same time, it can make a smooth Jazzy sound, or with overdrive, a really cool heavy metal sound.

If you are playing Octaves on Guitar using a pick, then you have to use some of your fingers to mute the strings in between. Depending on the shape you are doing, there might be one or two strings that require muting.

Here are the Octave forms that can be made on the guitar fret board:

One string in between (use a finger to mute this inbetween string) :

Sorry Picture Not Found

Two strings in between Octave forms:

Sorry Picture Not Found

Here are some great videos from the web about playing Octaves on Guitar.

This first video is from "Dolphin Street" and gives a really good overview of Octaves:



Guitar:
Guitar Octaves

Here is an example of how to use Octaves in heavy metal guitar:



Here is an excellent 11 minute video about Octaves for Soloing in the Wes Montgomery style:




There are also electronic effects units designed to play octaved sounds automatically. These are called “octavers”. What a digital octaver does is take the note you play, process it and repeat it an octave higher or lower, depending on the setting. Combined with a compressor/sustainer pedal, you can get a really cool jazzy sound.

The cool thing is that you can play octaved sounds using only one string; and create really high octaves on the top E string.

Sorry Picture Not Found

These units are good fun, but it is much more powerful and versatile to be able to pick up a guitar and just play Octaves manually, and intersperse them in between other notes and chords.

Enjoy,

P.S. And that my friends was the 100th Blog Post for PWOICT !!!

Yes.. that was a bit of work, but a lot of fun.

Songsterr Online Guitar Tabs



Songsterr ( http://www.songsterr.com/ ) is a website offering the extraordinary online experience of hearing, playing, practicing, and learning guitar, bass, and singing. Songsterr provides a realistic guitar sound and gives you a full control over the playback - you can play at half speed, as well as repeatedly looping through sections until you can play them correctly.

When I first used it, it was allowing me to use the full set of functions including half-speed, looping, and printing. However after a week or so this free trial has cut out, and I can only use the player. I am not sure how this has happened, as I never signed up for a free trail. Maybe they enabled a free trial automatically by referencing my IP address each time I logged on. All I know is that it was significantly better being able to access this full functionality.

Here is a list of the functions, (which I no longer have), as they are only active for payed accounts (current charge is $9.90 U.S. per month):

Sorry Picture Not Found

The other strange thing about Songsterr is that it has an amazingly large library of Tabs, yet there does not seem to be very much information about it on the Internet. Maybe it is relatively new, or perhaps because we have to pay for most of its useful functions, it is not all that popular ?

The Songsterr Player provides drums, bass, all guitar parts (Note that lyrics and Vocals are not displayed, unless you go into the Mixer function and click them on).

Songsterr is actually many Tabs rolled into one.
To isolate the Tab we want, we use "the mixer", where we can choose which Tab we wish to view.

Eg. Here is what the mixer setup for the Oasis song "Wonderwall" :


Sorry Picture Not Found

In the mixer we can choose to mute various instruments, we can also select which tab we want to display. In the pay version we can also adjust instrument volumes.

Here are example mixer
selections from Songsterr's tab of Oasis "Wonderwall":

So we could in fact use Songsterr for learning Guitar or Bass or just for practicing Singing, and learning the vocals for lots of songs.

The only thing in the player I would like, is to have the options for the lyrics to display with any tab, because I usually keep track of where I am in a song by singing or listening to the words.


Here is a YouTube 4minutes 30 seconds video on how to use Songsterr:



Here is a 30 second YouTube video that demonstrates the Songsterr Half Speed function:



And finally a 2 minute YouTUbe video that shows Sonsterr playing Stairway to Heaven, and a few other songs:



I am still deciding whether or not to get pay Songsterr for a month, overlapping with some holidays, and do some intensive song learning. The alternative is to have a printed free tab from somewhere like 911 Tabs, and just use the Songsterr player to help learn the song off the 911 printed tab.

Nonetheless, Songsterr is certainly a very impressive use of Adobe Flash to make an extremely flexible and fully functional online tab player.

Enjoy,

Rock House Rocks !



"Rock House Method" provides instructional DVDs on how to play Guitar, Bass, Drums, and Keyboards.

I have used some of the "Rock Guitar" and "House of Blues" DVD videos by John McCarthy and found them to be excellent. John is a great enthusiastic presenter, who explains concepts really well, and each DVD also has a course booklet with tabs and additional information for the lessons.

Here is a You Tube video of one of John Mc Carthy's typical lessons:



The Rock House Method Homepage is at:

http://www.rockhousemethod.com

There is also a Blog that is continually updated and has some free lesssons on it.

The blog is located at:
http://rockhousemethod.blogspot.com/


Rockhouse is run by Joe Palombo and John McCarthy.

You can read all about them here:

http://www.rockhousemethod.com/company/joeandjohn.aspx

You can ask your local music shop to order the DVD's in for you here in Australia, but I found that it can take weeks for them to arrive. Second time around, I have found it far better to buy my DVDs online from the American "Amazon.com" site.

Note that there are DVD's for Bass, Drums, Keyboards, and Vocals, (by an array of presenters) as well as John's own guitar DVDs.

So if you like what you have seen and heard, then why not buy a couple of John's DVDs and enhance your own Rock playing methods.

Enjoy,

Magix Music Maker 15

Sorry Picture Not Found
Image Source: www.magix.com

Magix Music Maker 15 is a multitrack sound loops music workstation. For around $50 on eBay it is an absolute bargain, and a great entry level music making package. The software comes with great quality samples of drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, percussion, sound fx, Vocals, as well as a full set of
effects processors.

It has a really well set out drag and drop interface, as shown here with 4 of up to 16 tracks of sounds that can be assembled while building a song:

Sorry Picture Not Found


If we want to see the whole song at once, then we can click the Overview tab:

Sorry Picture Not Found


The sounds are grouped into "Soundpools" of various genres, that can then be previewed, and dragged onto the recording timeline. Additional sounds and soundpools can be purchased online, or you can find and import your own .wav sounds into MMM 15 to use as well. There is also facility to record external sound by using a microphone plugged into your computer's sound card.

Sorry Picture Not Found

There are also lots of effects that can be applied to each sound loop that we add onto the timeline. These are just some of the items, there are also guitar distortion, compressor, chorus, and delay pedals.

Sorry Picture Not Found

There is even a Vocoder included, which we used to add some background vocals on a techno song we made.

Sorry Picture Not Found


Here is an Alternative Rock Song that we made at Passy World using MMM 15, and the set of sound loops that came with it: (My 10 year old son actually made most of this song, and I just added some extra guitar into it).

Here is part of a Techno Song that was made at Passy World using MMM 15:

Finally, here is a Reggae Song we made, using some MMM samples that we purchased for around $5 and downloaded from "Catooh":

If you want to find our more about Magix Music Maker, then check out the Magix website:
http://www.magix.com/us/music-maker/

There is probably the usual free 30 day download trial version available at this site that you can try out for free.

The version we use at Passy World is the standard MM15 shown below:

Sorry Picture Not Found


Magix MM 15 is a great way to learn about the structure of songs, how to assemble instrument parts together, and apply production effects. It is easy to use, and really good fun. Best of all it is quite cheap to buy compared with more sophisticated music software such as Sony Acid and Abelton.

It is also great for making simple drum, bass, and rythm guitar tracks to play along with and practice guitar.

So give it a go and get those big beats blasting out.

Enjoy,

How to Get Guitar Tabs



When it comes to finding Guitar tabs on the Internet, the sites we use here at Passy World are these ones:





Both 911 Tabs and Guitare Tab sometimes have links where we can listen to the Song we are getting the Tab for.

However, we did not have much luck getting the Guitare songs to play. The play link seems to go to a site called "Blastro" but then the songs did not come up. Maybe I was unlucky and picked the wrong songs to try out ? And for 911 Tabs, not all of the songs have this "listen to" function.

But Guitare Tab! did have the tablature for the whole Beatles Magical Mystery Tour album, all in one long web page, which was interesting.

In 911 tabs we can search on Band Name, as well as Song Name.
So we can just look for AC/DC songs if we wanted to.

So let's say we are interested in getting the Guitar Tab for
Carlos Santana's version of the song: "Black Magic Woman".


If we search 911Tab on song name, we soon obtain plenty of tabs, in fact we first get groups
of Tabs and have to choose which group to navigate to:

Sorry Picture Not Found

So we picked the first group of 110 tabs, and then clicked. A
t the next level down we get tabs that are rated, and we usually choose one of the top of list highly rated tabs.

Sorry Picture Not Found

Note that some of the tabs are "Guitar Pro" or "Power Tab" tabs. These require software to be on your computer to use the tab. "Power Tab" is free and you can find information on how to download and use it at our previous post at: http://tinyurl.com/PassyPowerTab .

Guitar Pro is not free, and costs around $ US 60 to buy and download online.

Since we are only after some basic tabulature here, we will choose one of the higer rated plain guitar tabs, such as the one from "Ultimate Guitar Tabs" and we then get a plain tab like this:

Sorry Picture Not Found

with Tablature for Solos included as well:

Sorry Picture Not Found

It is usually worth checking out more than one tab, because sometimes the other tabs supply us some additional information, such as extra chords and guitar riffs to use.

If we just want to have a copy of the words to the song, then the "Lyrics Mode" site at: http://www.lyricsmode.com/ is great for this:




and a search using song name of "Black Magic Woman" soon gets us what we need:

Sorry Picture Not Found


And last but not least, it is always great to have a look and listen to somebody else playing the song when learning any new tune on the guitar. And there is no better place for this than YouTube.com :




So 911Tabs: a strange kind of name to be sayin',
but full of great tabs to be playin' :)

Enjoy,
