Fender Super Sonic 22 guitar amplifier demo with American Standard Stratocaster

www.fender.com The new version of the Supersonic from Fender now has a 6V6 tube power amp section. Based on the Deluxe Reverb power section, it has a very clean tone paired with an ultra smooth overdrive tone...sounds like an advertisement, no? Well...it ain't! I just thought everyone should hear the tones this bad boy can get.

Musical Tribute to the real Postman Pat , Side 1

Open your ears everyone! This is a special audio cassette from the makers of the original Postman Pat ! It includes an extended version of the main theme which many children would enjoy re-wording! Accept no impersonators and certainly do not assume Pat has always flown a helicopter. Like many of you, I was appalled that this British TV icon was being re-made by someone who clearly doesn't understand PP's quirkiness and charm, and the new programme's music was too much of a drastic change. In retaliation or for the sake of nostalgia, here is some of the more original music. This was made with some real instruments, time signatures and emotions! Not made for the kids of today with short attention spans. They won't all fit into 10 minutes so I have shortened them but you'll get the general feel of them. Please comment here if you prefer the old, original, Postman Pat brand. It was from a world that wasn't so tied up with being PC.

Music Lessons For Adults - Two Ways You Can Learn a Musical Instrument Easily As an Adult

As adult the thought of picking up a guitar and learning to play might seem intimidating, even if you've dreamed of doing it your whole life. Children and teenagers have a much easier time learning new things like musical instruments both because they're still developing mentally and they have ample free time.

In this brief article I want to share with you two methods you can use to learn an instrument like the piano or guitar even if you have a busy schedule and don't believe you have a musical bone in your body. I can't promise you'll be a rock star, but you'll have a lot of fun.

There are two main challenges that adults face when they want to learn an instrument.

1.) Money, private music lesson cost a lot of money and because of that they're often push aside for other more realistic expenses.
2.) Time, in order to take private music lessons you must have the same night available week after week to take your lessons then find more time to practice.

What if you could overcome both of those obstacles? It would probably make it a lot easier to learn wouldn't it?

Let's look at two alternatives that exist that can help you save money and time while learning to play a musical instrument.

Online Lessons

That's right, you can learn the guitar, piano and even the drums through online video lessons. Most of these lessons are streamed, or played live off of the Internet on your computer screen. These types of instruction generally work better for instruments that are portable like the guitar since you can more easily play what you're being taught right in front of you computer.

The primary benefits to online lessons are the cost is far less then private lessons and you're in total control of when you choose to watch lessons, practice and how quickly you progress.

DVD Lessons

The second form of self study music lessons available are dvd lessons. I'm a fan of using dvd video lessons because they can be more easily used on your home TV and dvd player and you don't need an Internet connection to watch them.

The cost is about the same, although you usually pay an on going monthly fee for online lessons until you're done versus a one time fee for dvd lessons.

Both Online and DVD lessons make it easy for adults to learn an instrument without having to over commit to weekly instruction sessions and monthly lesson costs.
