Learn Music

You Can Learn Music

Perhaps you’ve gone to a concert and fantasized about being able to ‘shred’ on a guitar, like the lead guitarist you were listening to. Or maybe you were listening to some artist on the piano and you wished that you could play the piano like that.

What usually holds the average person back is what I call the ‘myths’ that abound in and around music.

They mostly exist around learning music, since anyone who has succeeded in mastering an instrument has learned the falsehood of these myths.

One of the most prevalent myths is that you need to have ‘talent’ to play an instrument and, if you don’t, well, just forget about it.

The other very prevalent myth is that you need great sacrifice and must spend years and many hours a day to learn an instrument.

The third thing that really messes people up is tying into some really bad teaching ideas.

What do I mean by this?

Well, learning an instrument is really no different than learning any other sort of skill. I like to compare it to learning to golf. There is a correct technique to everything and having the correct technique and applying it cuts down the learning time considerably and ensures success. A good golf pro will teach you which end of the club to hold, how to stand and all the other details that are standard and proven to work.

It’s the same with music. There are certain basics that need to be followed for a swift and easier mastery of an instrument. The problem is that some of these basic things get left out or one gets emphasised all out of proportion (theory,) and the person gets frustrated and eventually gives up, thinking it’s their own fault or they just don’t have the talent it takes.

In the first part of my book; The Book Of Music Basics, I debunk all these myths and misinformation that surround learning music so that you can think straight about the subject.

The second part of the book gives you all the basics in the correct order and in the right amount so that you can learn music successfully. Get The Book Of Music Basics here and learn music.

What Is Alternative Rock?

What Is Alternative Rock Music? This is a rather interesting case history as Alternative Rock was a direct response to what was seen, at that time, as the commercialization of Rock and Pop music. I have previously posted articles on this blog having to do with what was originally a counter culture effort being seized and utilized by business interests. This was simply big business recognising that a market existed in the supposed youth culture and effectively attacking it to the point where the youth culture reigned supreme and other age groups became marginalized. Alternative Rock can properly be considered a subgenre of basic Rock n’ Roll. It began in the nineteen seventies and became more popular in the eighties and nineties. Some of the groups that got the ball rolling, so to speak, were R.E.M., The Smiths and Nirvana. Wikipedia has a very detailed article about this era.  In defining what they were doing, Alternative Rock groups introduced different other musical elements int...
