I must admit that there are many indie artists and bands that fly under my radar for months after they've received the so-called "blogger buzz". This is no more so the case than with the Washington state band The Fleet Foxes.Drawing strongly off influences from The Beach Boys, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Simon and Garfunkel, Neil Young and The Zombies, The Fleet Foxes are one of the most exciting new

I'm going to show you something that I've been doing for years and as most guitar tricks come about, I just stumbled upon it. I'm going to show you how to do a natural harmonic bend. Most people would believe this to be impossible, but it is far from. This is especially nice for guitarists like myself, who play on a guitar that doesn't have a whammy bar. I'm not a big fan of the whammy bar so I

I was sitting at the window seat of the bus, and right (it was left) beside me a JC kid was sitting at the aisle seat. He soon fell asleep and was rocking left and right in a simple harmonic motion. Me being evil and couldn't stand the kid's shoulder hitting against mine, I hit him back with my shoulder and that produced a forced oscillation. My timing was so accurate, the kid's oscillation

Double bassist Doug Johnson (www.myspace.com/douglasjohnson) has written a series of fascinating blog posts on the relationship between pitch cycles per second and how these translate to beats per minute.  This is heady and fascinating stuff!  Doug writes: ....pitches in music are measured in frequencies, or more specifically "Hertz" (Hz), which are cycles per second. Most western music is tuned to A-440, which means that the pich "A" above middle C is 440 Hz. This will be my reference for the pitch to tempi table below. When a frequency is doubled, it sounds exactly one "octave" higher. So if 440 Hz is an A, then 880 Hz will be an A one octave higher, as in the first and last do in do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do. Halving A-440 will result in A-220, which is an A one octave lower. Now, since octaves "resonate" with each other, and if you play the bass you know what I mean, tempi can also resonate with pitches. Tempi are measu

By Edward Weiss When I first heard the piece "Rain" by George Winston I was blown away. Here was a solo piano piece that sounded so rich and full, you could swear more than one person was playing it. Yet it's just one man on one piano.When Winston released his video, I got to see how he did it. It all has to do with the left hand. He uses the left hand to create a beautiful ostinato pattern. But this is no ordinary pattern. The secret to how he gets his sound is in the thumb.You see he moves the thumb back and forth past an octave to add in more notes. Not too complicated once you understand how it's done.Once the ostinato pattern is "down" in the left hand, the right comes in with the melody.The trick to creating something like this is to really get the pattern down first in the left hand. There's a lot you can do here - even with 2 chords!After the left hand is secure and the right comes in with improvised melody, Winston does something else that mystifies those who've never seen
