when will progressive rock music/art rock become recognised as musical contributions?

Posted in art rock | November 30th, 2009

how come bands like dream theatre and spocks beard or even YES and rush not get grammies not even any popular music critic awards???

I believe these kinds of bands, together with other artists like Steve Vai and Eric Johnson, are not so popular in the mainstream because they are a little more virtuosic, improvisational, and experimental (instead of playing what they think will sell) with their musical expression than most rock music fans are used to. Though they have a Rock sound and look to them, their approach to writing songs and performing is more like that of Jazz musicians (real Jazz, not "Smooth Jazz") so the average rock music fan can’t really understand or appreciate it. That is why most of their fans are other musicians, because they understand the level of technical difficulty that goes into executing the things these artists do.


How can I find the names of underground or club music during the 90s?

Posted in underground music | November 30th, 2009

For example, "Yo-Yo Trav hold up", "Precious Red: You better Think", "Do that Dance", and a song that goes, "The light is red, and You must Stop, Ok". I want to find the artist that make these records and other artist alike. Oh, another one goes, "Step Aside and Let The Pros Go".

What alternative music can I use for a church wedding besides the normal wedding march?

Posted in alternative music | November 30th, 2009

Would just the music to Lifehouse’s "You and Me" be appropriate? And if so, where can I find just the music?

You need to ask at the church you plan to get married in Many churches do not allow secular music to be played in the church.

Guitarra Eléctrica – Escala pentatónica (P-6) – Escala blues -Rock & Roll para Muñones

Posted in blues rock | November 30th, 2009

Aprende a tocar la guitarra eléctrica. http://www.rockandrollparamunones.com

La escala de blues.
Se trata simplemente de añadir una nota extra a la escala pentatónica menor. En este ejemplo toco sobre la posición 1 de la pentatónica menor de La.
La nota tónica (1) está por tanto en el traste 5 de la sexta cuerda.

Añadiendo la 5ªb de la escala tenemos la escala de blues.
Esta notas extra es la marcada en verde en el vídeo, que en el caso del tono de La, se encuentra en el traste 6 de la quinta cuerda, y en el traste 8 de la tercera cuerda.

Normalmente estas notas se suelen tocar como notas de paso.

Es muy habitual también hacer bendings de medio tono en la tercera cuerda, de forma que se llega a la 5ªb

Puedes ver con más detalle esta escala en el apartado de teoría de la página.
