Being able to read sheet music and tablature are the topic of debate among guitar players. There are those that play great guitar and do not read music and that’s great. On the other hand you have great guitarists that can read music. I guess it just depends on the way you learned the guitar. I recently read a blog by the great www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com guitarist Arlen Roth. Arlin learned to play by ear first and then learned to read music later. Arlin has a blog at Gibson.com if you have time check it out. Arlin does a lot of studio work he believes, as I do, that if you are serious about being a musician that it would be in your best interest to learn to read music and tablature. Back in the days when I learned to play we didn’t have tablature and I didn’t have a sharp enough ear to learn without music. I guess in the long run it paid off because the first time I went in a studio I had to read the music for the songs that were being recorded. The big thing about recording in the studio is that time is money and if you have to do too many retakes you probably won’t get called back for more work. I remember when I used to sit down in the evenings, get my music book out and read all the notes so I could get used to it and read faster so that when I did play the guitar it became second nature. Another great way to learn is to use tablature with sheet music. It helps you to play in the right position. I do know some studio musicians who can’t read music and they get work, but it’s with certain singers that they have worked with before and they request them. The point I’m trying to make, is it depends how far you want to go with your music career. If you are serious about it then you should learn to read music

The Role of the Trumpet Within a Big Band
Author: James P Martin
The trumpet has always been an integral part of the traditional big band, both as a lead instrument and as a soloist. The section consists of four players, with the first chair being labeled the "lead" chair and the second part generally considered the "jazz" chair. Although improvised solos can be played by any of the four players, the second trumpet is usually depended upon to cover the solos within the section when needed.It is the "lead" trumpet that carries the melody over all other musicians during full band sections. This important position carries quite a large responsibility, mainly because it is he/she who is called upon to play the highest notes within the ensemble sections.Melodic and Harmonic RolesIn traditional big band repertoire, the trumpet section provides both melodic and harmonic roles. Melodies can be played by one or up to all four players at one time. Melodic roles are often coupled with instruments of similar timbre, such as the alto saxophone. As a melodic instrument, the trumpet is generally in the middle range when matched with other instruments. The upper register is used for full ensemble sections where the lead player must carry the melody over the rest of the band.When fulfilling a harmonic role, the section is usually voiced in either three or four distinct parts. Since the trumpets are set in the upper register of the ensemble, they have the responsibility of covering the upper extensions of the given chord. In harmonic roles, the section often extends the basic chord tones (i.e. root, 3rd, seventh) that are played by the trombone and saxophone sections. These upper extensions often take the form of a simple triad when played alone, but create sophisticated extended chords when playing with saxophone and trombones.Mutes and Utility InstrumentsModern trumpeters today are expected to own and carry a variety of mutes to alter the sound of the instrument. In every trumpeter's bag are a straight mute, a cup mute, a harmon mute and plunger. Each of these "tools" are designed to alter the color and sound of the instrument by bringing out low (cup and plunger) or high (straight and harmon) overtones. The use of mutes can significantly alter the overall sound of the section with a wide variety of colors. Gil Evans was one famous arranger that used muted trumpets extensively in his arrangements and compositions.In addition, most professional trumpeters today own a flugel horn. This instrument looks like a large trumpet, but sounds much more mellow and with a limited high range. Flugel horns are used primarily for melody, but can also be used as harmonic pads with the big band. Modern writers such as Maria Schneider utilize flugel horns in this role quite oftenFamous Big Band Trumpeters and SectionsTrumpet players and big band trumpet sections can be found throughout the history of jazz. Maynard Ferguson, for example, made his debut with the Stan Kenton Orchestra during the 1950s. Maynard played lead trumpet and was featured as a high note virtuoso at a young age. He later went on to lead his own big and small bands for more than half a century. High note artists such as Stan Mark and Lynn Nicholson were members of famous Maynard Ferguson trumpet sections.Bill Chase led one of the more famous trumpet sections in the 1960s with the Woody Herman orchestra. Known for his high range, Bill Chase provided the high note excitement for the band. In 1974, Chase met an untimely death in a plane crash near a small airport in Minnesota, Among the most famous trumpet sections of all time might have been in the Duke Ellington Orchestra. Cootie Williams and Cat Anderson filled soloist and high note roles, respectively, for Duke's band for many years. Duke often wrote entire compositions to feature Cootie (Concerto for Cootie) on trumpet.The trumpet will always play an integral role within the realm of big band jazz ensemble music. Because of this, skilled lead players and gifted soloists will always be in demand in the jazz and commercial music industry.

Guitar Hero or Real Guitar
Author: Mike BarricelloI watch all these young kids playing Guitar Hero and wonder if their parents encourage it or tolerate it. I personally would like to see kids pick up a real guitar or other instrument and learn to play it. When I was 10 years old I picked up my first guitar and at age 59, I haven’t stopped playing it yet. I remember as a kid that I rarely got bored like young kids do now. If I had nothing to do I would turn to my guitar and play it for hours at a time. I realize that when you tend to have a short attention span. www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
For myself, the guitar entertained me through dull times and rough times. If I was having a bad day or had a lot of stress, the guitar was and still is like my best friend. When I pick up the guitar all is well in my world. I guess what I am trying to say is, parents put a real instrument in your child’s hands and let them develop a real talent and at the same time develop their mind. I know I’m grateful to my parents for letting me play an instrument and for also encouraging me to keep with it. I try to encourage as many young kids as possible to play an instrument. The guitar, keyboards or a saxophone can make the difference in a child’s life. Musical instruments can help kids grow and develop self confidence. So parents get your children involved in music. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against video games, I play them myself, but I do so in moderation. www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
Piano Playing Tips - How To Make The Most Of Your Practice Time
Author: Stephen Stocker
One of the most important piano playing tips is to set aside separate times for piano practice and piano performance. Both practice and performance time are used to improve piano playing, but in different ways.
At least ninety percent of playing time should be practice time. This is time to thoughtfully and carefully learn. Every practice session should have a goal, such as learning specific sections of a piece, notes, memory, or just building familiarity. All of this practice playing should be done with a slow comfortable tempo that makes the piece easy to play. The aim of practice time is to learn to play as accurately as possible.
When performing a piece for an audience or as practice performance, musicians should play to the best of their ability but without stopping to correct errors. It is important to perform pieces often to see how well they go! After a performance, use practice time to go over the sections that need improvement.
Here are some piano playing tips to use in structured piano practice time: www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
Before starting to play, do several minutes of full arm, shoulder, hand and finger stretches.
Move each arm in big circles, starting from the shoulders. Bend over from the waist and stretch arms to the floor. Shake out the hands, and massage each finger. Do any stretches that feel good! Playing will improve as tension is let go.
Always play as accurately as possible during practice time. www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
Slow the tempo down to obtain note accuracy. Analyze what is needed for better accuracy. Do short sections need to be repeated, or played one hand at a time?
Stand up and stretch the arms, shoulders and hands every 5-10 minutes between playing sessions.
Unmusical playing is created by discomfort sitting at the piano. Stretching and shaking out at regular intervals during practice sessions will help to break out of habitual posture problems.
Do not use the damper pedal during practice sessions.
If used incorrectly, the damper pedal will cover up both good and bad playing. Habitual use of the damper pedal ruins music. If a piece is practiced at first without the damper pedal, the arms and hands will discover the coordination needed to shape musical lines. The pedal should be added once a piece is very familiar.
Do not reach for notes with the fingers.
Use the arm to move the hand over top of the keys. This can be difficult if the arms are being held rigidly. Use lots of stretching exercises between playing to discover how arm and shoulder tension can be released. Feel the full weight of the arm transferring through the hands and fingers into the keys.
Use the metronome almost always during practice time.
Using the metronome during piano practice is one of the most important piano playing tips a player can use to improve music making. It is important to set the metronome to a comfortable tempo, so that there is not a frantic, panicked feeling in the music. When sections of a piece need to be repeated, the metronome can be used to count rests between repeats. As a piece is learned and can be played through accurately, the metronome should be set at an easy tempo to repeat, settle in and relax.
Following these piano playing tips and separating structured piano practice time and performance time will greatly improve a player's skills.

Piano Playing Your Way: How To Have More Fun Playing The Piano Than you ever had
Author: Duane Shinn
Piano playing doesn't have to be boring. There's no law that says you have to play a song the same way everyone else plays it. By learning some basic music theory and chord formations, you can have the time of your life playing music like you have always wanted to. www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
Every musician has a different method of arranging. Some start with the bass, some start with the melody, some just arrange everything all at once. You'll eventually discover the process that works best for you, but here's a basic guideline list to get you started.
—Play the song as written. Pay careful attention to the melody and harmonies so you understand how the song is supposed to sound before altering it. Make sure you can play the song very well before moving on to an arrangement. www.Guitar-Shop-Online.com
—Analyze the song's chord structure and form. Know all the chord changes and any key changes. Separate the piece into parts using the letter system discussed in this course; often, you'll be able to add some spice to an arrangement by simply knowing where a verse switches into a chorus.
—Look at the song's context to determine the appropriate sort of arrangement. For instance, if you're working on a classical lullaby or wedding song, you probably won't want to add western bass or a march beat. Of course, there's no rule saying you can't do that if you're going for a comical effect. Just be aware of the effect every sort of arrangement technique will have on a song.
—Change the bass chording pattern based on the just-analyzed song's context. Working with "Git Alone Little Dogies"? Try a western bass. A classical romantic song? Give upward inversions or arpeggios a go. Just keep switching the bass pattern until you find something you like. After awhile, you'll acquire the ability to naturally know what to do. Until then, try it all.
—Add fillers to the melody. Again, be aware of what's appropriate. If you're playing a western bass, try grace notes and twangs. If the song is in Alberti bass, add some glissandos or delicate octave harmonies. Remember that certain fillers, like runs or straddle-downs, work best when you're holding a half note or higher in the melody.
—Add dynamic variation. This is where the form analysis comes in handy. If you know a key or part change is coming up, consider the ways in which you can take the dynamic up or down to create a textured, interesting effect. Try not to make the whole song extremely loud or extremely soft. Remember, variety is the spice of life!
The piano arrangement you create is bound only by the limits of your imagination. Try everything and don't get discouraged—you'll get the hang of it eventually.
Now pick a song and get to it!
