Guitar Pro 5.2

Have you ever heard of Guitar Pro? I bet you did. Its awesome,
First, I downloaded the Demo of Guitar Pro, I was amazed on how
it works, its really easy to use, It is the best Tablature software!!
After a few weeks, using the Demo version of it, my friends gave me
a torrent of the full version :P
Man, it was the best Tablature software ever, It's awesome!! It is easy to learn every single tabs with it.

P/S: I recommend everyone to BUY the Guitar Pro, instead of downloading the full version for free, because it's illegal.

Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker and popular Los Angeles disc jockey Adam “DJ AM” Goldstein are in critical condition in the Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta, GA after their private Learjet skidded off the runway and crashed into an embankment. Four other passengers have been confimed dead including Barker’s assistant Chris Baker, and his bodyguard, Charles Still. The pilot, Sarah Lemmon, and co-pilot of the plane, James Bland, were also confirmed to be dead. Get the details after the jump.

An eye witness to the crash, William Owens, claimed that he saw the jet careen across Highway 320 in a huge ball of flame, and as he came up to the wreckage he saw two men lying on the road. "I didn't know what I had seen; it was maybe 800 feet in front of me, but as I approached it closer, though, I made out a fire. By then I was able to see the tail of the jet, and I recognized it as a jet. It's in flames, and the fuel is running across the road, and I had to cross the fuel to get to the two guys that seemed to have been dumped on the highway," he said. Owens said the two men were running around and pulling off clothing to put out the flames. He said he asked them whether anyone else was on board the plane, and they said four people were with them. "We turned to the jet to try and see if there was anything we could do, but immediately, there was nothing anyone could do," Owens said.

Both Barker and Goldstein are in critical condition with severe burns. Barker is said to be burned in his lower extremities and it’s been reported that Goldstein has extensive burns to his face and arms. Both men are expected to make a full recovery.

Sarawak Sapeh
[ Borneo Lute ]

Introduction

The sape is one of the string instruments from the lute family, which has a short neck.It is made from soft wood, usually the meranti's. The sape has quite an elongated body which is hollowed out and functions as a resonator. The shape of the body looks like a sampan and is often called 'the boat lute' in the west.

History

The sape is a traditional lute of many of the Orang Ulu or "upriver people", who live in the longhouses that line the rivers of Central Borneo. Sapes are carved from a single bole of wood; many modern instruments reach over a metre in length. It is famous among the Kayan and Kenyah tribes of East Malaysia. It is used in entertainment and to accompany dances such as 'Datun Julud and 'Ngajat' (one of the warrior dances associated with headhunting according to legend). Originally , sape strings were made from the Sago tree but now these have been replaced by nylon strings.

Tuning

One of the systems that are usually used are as follows:

String 1: Tune like the middle C of the piano
String 2:Tune like C one octave lower than middle C
String 3: Tune to A, a minor third below middle C
String 4: Tune to F, a perfect fourth above middle C

Playing

All the strings are plucked using the thumb and only one of the strings is used to play the melody. The rest of the strings function as drone strings, playing only open strings. The strings are fixed across the body, supported by a bridge which is movable, for tuning purposes.

Songs

The sape repertoire comprises songs like: Sambe Main Daton, Jempen Letoh, Kabun, Kelewah, Eng-tang Takoh and Nau-hu. The Kelewah is usually performed for the purpose of entertainment of the residents of the longhouse. The sape is usually played in a duet, playing in two registers, low and high. Sape music is best known through the works of the late, great Tusau Padan. The tradition of Sape at present remains in the good hands of Uchau Bilong and Mathew Ngau Jau.

Construction

Initially the sape was a fairly limited instrument with two strings, three strings and four strings. Its use was restricted to a form of ritualistic music to induce trance. It gradually became a social instrument, used as accompaniment for dances and as a form of entertainment. Today, three, four or five-string instruments are used, with a range of more than three octaves.

Application

Musically, the sape is a simple instrument. One string carries the melody, the accompanying strings are struck rhythmically to produce a drone. In practice, the music is quite complex, with many ornamentations and thematic variations. There are two common modes, one for the men's longhouse dance and the other for the woman's longhouse dance. There also is a third rarely used mode. Sape music is usually inspired by dreams; there are over 35 traditional pieces with many variations. The overall repertoire is slowly increasing.

Going beyond the conventional standards of multi-effects pedals, Zoom is introducing the new Zoom G9.2tt guitar effects console with 3-D Z-Pedal, which provides high-quality effects, recording options, and expanded control from the studio to the stage.

More review on Ultimate-Guitar

Ease of Use: Stock sounds are ok. I don't know why they made so many factory sounds with crazy effects. I really just wanted to have lots of great sounds I could tweak just a bit for my own use. Anyway, I created my own sounds using the software editor and a MIDI connection. Editing patches is good, but not great. There is a USB port on the back, but it's only for using this unit for recording. I don't know why they couldn't use this port for editing the patches. Anyway, you need both the MIDI In and Out ports connected to your computer to utilize all editing features. Once I installed the softare, it took about an hour for me to figure it out. To write save changes on the G9, you have to send all data to it. You cannot edit one patch at a time, but it only stays in the computer until you "send all" to the G9. Not the greatest, but it sure beats editing on the G9 directly. Manual is good. I've had to refer to it several times and found my answer each time. Firmware was 1.07 and 1.08 was posted on their website. So I attempted to install it from Windows Vista. During the firmware update, it errored out. When I powered on the G9, it was dead. I had power, nothing else happened. I tried several times but got the same error. I dual boot my computer between XP and Vista, so I gave it a try from XP. Same error. However, my XP installation didn't have .NET 1.1 installed (which I thought it did), and this is a requirement for the updater. So I installed .NET 1.1 and installed it under XP. The update worked just fine, and the G9 started working again. // 8

Sound: I use an Ibanez S520 guitar plugged into a portable Yamaha mixer and then into my computer. I mainly play at home writing and recording. For Live use, I'll play this through a Marshall MG250DFX, but I'll connect the G9 to the left and right Return inputs on the back. So the amp is pretty much just loud box. The G9 is pretty quiet except when using patches with lots of gain. But that's to be expected from anything with lots of gain. Effects are good. I upgraded to the G9 from a Boss GT-3 which had wonderful effects. But I don't get crazy with effects, and the G9 does a good enough job. As I stated, I mainly plug the G9 into my mixer then into my computer. I like the fact there 10 banks to be used for "direct" play into a mixer and another 10 banks for "live" use. I was hoping I could edit a patch for "direct" use at home, then just turn off the cabinet simulator and save the patch in the equivalent "live" patch area. Depending on the sound, you may need to adjust the preamp settings a bit between the "direct" and "live" patches to make them sound the same. // 9

Reliability & Durability: Looks like it was build very good. Seems to be solid and durable. Everything seems to be metal. I can't afford a backup, so I won't be using one. I'm not worried about it though. I've emailed Zoom in Japan and Samson in the USA (the Zoom distributer here) asking some presales questions. The Samson rep emailed a reply the same day. And a reply from Japan took a few days. Both answered my questions. I even spoke with the Samson rep Who was very helpful and courteous. // 9

Impression: I play melodic rock. I've setup my own patches to give me some clean, blues, and rock sounds. I'm not into metal, but there are some awesome metal sounds here. I've been playing for 20 years. Sold my old Boss GT-3 and upgraded to this. Definately a step in the right direction. If I lost this thing, I'd probaby buy it again. For the features and prices, it's awesome! What I love: I love the sounds, the sexy look, the price. What I don't love: It's kinda big, so I'm having a hard time finding a case for it. Editing patches from the computer could be improved. There is no digital out on this! The USB audio port is only 16bit. If it was 24 bit, I wouldn't care so much for the lack of digital out. So I'm better off just recording this using the audio out ports into my M-Audio 2496 sound card which supports 24bit audio. I was looking at the Boss GT-8, Line6 X3 Live, and the Vox Tonelab LE. Listened to the GT-8, but I didn't really hear a lot of difference from my Boss GT-3. I'm sure the quality of the sounds is better, and I did like the dual preamp feature. I really considered the X3 Live, but read so many negative reviews about the construction of the unit and so many firmware issues. So I stayed away. I almost bought the Tonelab LE. I really believe having a tube warms the sound up, which is what I like. But then I found the Zoom locally and had to buy it. For the price, features, and quality, this unit is wonderful! // 9

Genre: Thrash metal
Label: Warner
Number Of Tracks: 10
Metallica return with the single most anticipated metal album of the year.

Sound: One thing right away –- the album is not very well produced. Rick Rubin is of course not responsible for this, as he didn't engineer it. At times it's a bit too loud, gets a bit fizzy and as often is the case with Metallica's albums, it's basically guitar-snare-vocals. Lars' drumsound is very loud and occupies a large portion of the spectrum, while Hetfield/Hammett hog most of the rest and Trujillo is not as prominent as one could wish. Lars' infamous “St Anger” -- snare is gone, but I still find his snare on “Death Magnetic” leaving some to be desired. Lars has also always opted for a more thumpy and wet bassdrum, which in turn makes it sound a bit muddy in the low end.

Rhythm guitars on the other hand are tighter than a gnats behind and sound absolutely killer. It's a classic thrash sound in a modern costume. As far as production goes, it's not a great one, it's barely good and I certainly would expect more from a band of this stature. // 6

Lyrics and Singing: One of the things that bothered me the most on “St Anger” were the, at times, atrocious lyrics. I'm glad to say that James Hetfield is, if not back to his 80s form, penning some good, solid lyrics again. The topic most of the album deals with is, as the title indicates, death. Nothing new under sun but it's not so much what you say but how you say it. There're plenty of catchy lines to be found, like “Bow down, sell your soul to me, I will set you free” in “The Judas Kiss” or the catchy-yet-somewhat-daft-sounding chorus in “Cyanide”. While Hetfield doesn't reach the heights of some of his finer works such as “... And Justice For All”, “Master of Puppets” or “The Outlaw Torn”, he can't be found guilty of putting together a lyric that hurts the song.

The vocal delivery is also fairly solid. James sounds like, well, one could expect from a thrasher his age. He has lost some power and grit, but then again so do nigh all vocalists when they make it to the age of 40-something. I can certainly understand people who criticise his as times country-esque howl or the constant addition of “AH!! ” to every other line. But does it bother me? Not so much, but one should also note that I'm accepting Hetfield's delivery for what it is, not praising it. It's fairly solid, at times he sounds great and at times he doesn't sound all that great. I find that as long as he sticks to barking out lyrics, like the verses in “The End of The Line”, it sounds pretty damn good. But it's far less pleasing when he tries to tap into a more singing, high pitched voice like on “The Unforgiven III”. However, I'd rather have James doing a good, aggressive delivery with some weaker singing here and there, than the other way around. // 7

Impression: Kirk Hammett a few weeks ago said something along the lines of “It's not that we couldn't do a riff/solo record anymore, it's just that we chose not to” when asked about the new album and the accusations they've had to stomach with their previous three or four albums. The general feeling I get when listening to “Death Magnetic” is that stylistically, you can trace the lineage from their 80s efforts to this. Heavy riffs, solos, harmonies, interesting arrangements and a riff-our-hearts-out attitude makes it possible to state that while “Death Magnetic” is not “... And Justice For All”'s younger brother, they're at least musically and stylistically related.

I'd argue that six or seven out of the ten songs are good-or-better. That's not a bad track record, and makes a good chunk of the album a very enjoyable listen. The instrumental “Suicide & Redemption” takes a good couple of minutes to achieve anything worth of notice, but the calm, quiet section with Hammett's melody guitar is one of Metallica's finer moments in a good 20 years or so. It's fair to say that a few songs don't deliver all that well (“The Unforgiven III” is, well, unforgiveable) and a good 10-15 minutes could've been scratched to make this 1.2 hours long album a bit less padded. Outstaying your welcome is one of the worst sins you can commit in my book, but the album opens with a strong barrage of songs and ends on a pretty high note with “My Apocalypse”.

As for the individual efforts, well, Hetfield's vocals we've already talked about. Kirk Hammett is at times horrible and in other places pretty harmless. In my book, a solo should elevate the song and not just take up 12 or 18 bars of space to function as some kind of bridge, but rarely if at all does Hammett deliver a really, really tasty solo. The rhythmplaying is as one could expect, extremely solid, tight and punchy and there's nothing to complain about in that department. Rob Trujillo can't be praised or criticised of much, because he's fairly inaudible at most times, at least on my stereo system. Lars Ulrich, on the other and is very audible and that's a shame. Lars used to be a solid, if adventurous metal-drummer in the 80s but has now deteriorated to a shell of his former self. At best he's pretty harmless and doesn't hurt the song much, but some of the beats and grooves he's conjured up for this are just atrocious.

However, while there are individual efforts that deserve criticism, it should also be noted that Metallica in their prime never where a band with much individual flash and they achieved their greatness because of their strength as a band. And that's exactly the case with “Death Magnetic” - it's a solid effort by the group with a good number of catchy and interesting songs, some songs we definitely can do without, but as a whole it's a solid, mature effort well worthy of a band that's been around for a quarter of a century. “Death Magnetic” probably won't make my top 10 of the year, because in the grand world of metal, this is just another band and “Death Magnetic” is just another good-if-not-great album. But I think we can hand out the “Feel-good Album of the Year”-award right now. Welcome home Metallica. It's been far too long.

What is a guitar pick?
Guitar pick is the thing that everyone use to strum a guitar.

There are many different type of Picks, and many different way to measure the size. Some manufacturer measure the size by 'L' for light, 'M' for Medium and 'H' for heavy.
Different picks make's different feels to every style you play, so, choosing the right pick is very important.

"Choosing a pick could be a pain in the A**, because there are many kind of picks made by different manufacturer, different sizes, different material, and different feels"

You can always buy a bunch of picks and try it one by one, there not that expensive though.

Find your perfect AXE!

1. Go to any local guitar shop.
2. Don't pick your guitar by the way it look.
3. Don't listen to anyone when choosing your guitar, its your guitar, you choose it.
   
4. Find what you're looking for?
5. Check how its sound like, make sure you didn't use any guitar/amp effects while testing it.
6. Check how comfortable the guitar to you.
7. Check the bridge, pick-ups, fret, weight, neck.
   
8. Make sure you have enough $$$ to buy your guitar.
9. You don't have to buy a Branded guitar like "Gibson, Ibanez, Fender, ESP/LTD" It's too expensive! If you buy their budget guitar, after a few months shredding it, it's suck(Trust me).
10. And don't listen to the Shop Owner, because they will always say the Branded guitar is better.

P.S: This is only my opinion.
