<span lang="EN-AU">The guitar has always been a popular instrument to learn for a variety of reasons. It’s <a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/" target="_blank">relatively cheap to buy</a>, it has a fairly steep learning curve and the music you’re probably listening to features a lot of guitar work that you can learn from. Learning the guitar is different from learning other instruments and the experience is unique in a number of ways. This article will discuss just a few of them.</span><br />

<span lang="EN-AU">While there’s no doubt that taking lessons with a guitar teacher is going to give you the best chance of learning how to play the guitar well, there are a <a href="https://www.thetoptens.com/guitarists/" target="_blank">great many guitarists</a> out there that initially learnt just by watching other people play. A lot of this has to do with the visual nature of guitar playing and our psychological response to it. Many people remember chords by the way they look, for instance, the position of the hand and the fingers when they are played. This enables people to pick up a few chords relatively quickly just by observing others and apply what they have seen.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">Another reason for playing the guitar is so popular and is often considered different to other instruments is the fact that with just a few chords, you can play a huge number of songs from some well-known artists. In fact, with just a G-chord, C-chord and D-chord under your belt, chances are you can play along to the large majority of rock and country songs. Add another couple of chords and you can play almost anything.<br />
<br />This makes <a href="https://ausguitarparadise.wordpress.com/2013/08/22/the-benefits-of-learning-an-instrument/" target="_blank">learning guitar more rewarding</a> earlier compared to some other instruments, which require that you develop and refine your skills before you are able to really get something out of it and see your progress.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-AU">One of the big reasons learning and playing the guitar is so appealing is the fact that it’s practical compared to most other instruments. It’s pretty easy to transport and take with you wherever you go, and requires little to no set up if you want to play. <a href="http://www.musicradar.com/news/10-reasons-why-guitar-is-the-best-instrument" target="_blank">This makes it a great instrument</a> to play in a group setting just about anywhere and it’s great to sing along to, as the music the guitar more often than not produces the foundation for the main melody. The guitar is the perfect addition to a camping trip or just a hangout with friends for this reason.</span></div>

Just about every guitarist out there has played around with a Fender at some point in their life. For the past 60 plus years, Fender guitars have been one of the most relevant and important guitars available, and have an important role in the story of rock music through the ages. This article will take a look at the company’s history and some of the reasons why it has been successful.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Origins </span></h3>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
The Fender brand finds its origins in California back in 1938. The <i><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jpE_QYQ7LVs">company’s founder, Leo Fender</a></i>, was running an electronics repair store at the time, fixing up a wide range of appliances and equipment, including amplifiers. Fender’s capability in the field and his noticing of apparent poorly put together amplifiers started building and creating his own.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbPQ1kFZ3lBr9BozkZ3Yuz9AXHLmemqQeuDZk6z166nmQ88I6ZEINRh5aUjzDCsx965ja071HfnM4kE0n2GrIRmpidzixLnSK61d8c4ISR90EqWNFERj_y1O7s4bknx0viAu0nTRmKh4/s1600/GU7NVbC-fender-wallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="478" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdbPQ1kFZ3lBr9BozkZ3Yuz9AXHLmemqQeuDZk6z166nmQ88I6ZEINRh5aUjzDCsx965ja071HfnM4kE0n2GrIRmpidzixLnSK61d8c4ISR90EqWNFERj_y1O7s4bknx0viAu0nTRmKh4/s640/GU7NVbC-fender-wallpaper.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
In just a couple of years, Fender found himself a business partner and established a company that was focused on manufacturing amplifiers and electronic musical instruments, though the majority of their work came from repairs. By 1945, Fender was wanting to move away from repairs and set up a company that was solely about designing, manufacturing and marketing instruments, which he believed had higher profit margins. This is how the Fender Electric Music Company was born, and Fender’s designs for the Stratocaster lead to its release and mass production in 1954.<br />
<br />
Eventually, CBS purchased the company and through its 20 years under CBS reign, Fender launched some guitars that would make a huge mark on rock music, including the Telecaster and Starcaster. Through the 90’s, the company - which was under new management - extended its product range, launch the inexpensive alternative Squire guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers and even acoustic guitars. Fender even started manufacturing electric violins in the 2000s.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: large;">Legacy</span></h3>
<br />
There is no doubt that Fender is one of the most important guitar brands to date, with many of the world’s most renowned guitarists making it their instruments of choice. The Fender Stratocaster, is the most iconic model, was/is played by the likes of Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix, George Harrison and John Lennon, Pink Floyd’s David Glamour, Red Hot Chilli Pepper’s John Frusciante and Eddie van Halen to name just a few. This has made it one of the most popular and important rock guitars of all time.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDpcAU_xna-pRe7WwIqNxeSkOxKqzk929Iepg-Iporh_q0SlpU-bwDr_2PJy-GqvAOP-In1GJT0JFqnRuEb9XTENDnpHPIy93mMOEhHyaKkFotALKKyPv3_9trbzW0_UkgkhIGvewehs/s1600/TAoRNVO-fender-wallpaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="440" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDpcAU_xna-pRe7WwIqNxeSkOxKqzk929Iepg-Iporh_q0SlpU-bwDr_2PJy-GqvAOP-In1GJT0JFqnRuEb9XTENDnpHPIy93mMOEhHyaKkFotALKKyPv3_9trbzW0_UkgkhIGvewehs/s640/TAoRNVO-fender-wallpaper.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Without any doubt, these high profile names playing Fender guitars certain had an impact on sales and how popular they became. But this doesn’t account for the influence and legacy the Fender brand has built.<br />
<br />
Design-wise, Fender guitars were always a step ahead. The general design of the Stratocaster, in particular, has influenced many other brand designs over the years, and the shape and look are often what comes to mind for many people when they think of an electric guitar. This was something new and original in the 1950’s and the design really hasn’t changed all that much since.<br />
<br />
Further, these guitars, most notably the Stratocaster were easy to play and produced a versatile tone and a sound you simply couldn’t get with other commercial guitars. The three-pickup system, allowed players to mix up the tone and pitch without the need for additional equipment. Its biggest rise to fame came in the 1970s, where its funky tone suited guitarists that were playing funk and disco music that was becoming popular during this period.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is often said that there are three things that make up a guitarists sound that defines them; the player, the Guitar and the guitar amp. With these three items being a bone of contention throughout the history of recorded music, as guitarists look to replicate a Hendrix or Knopfler sound that they can enjoy and further make their own.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But playing the guitar is all about finding your own path to success and how you define the sounds that you create. With your playing style taking much of the credit, the guitar you use will also play a large role – but one of the most important aspects of your setup has to your guitar amp. From deep, rich tones of a jazz amp, to a triple super lead cranked to 11 – your amp will define your playing like no other!</div>

For many, this means forking out money for the time at the recording studio, which can be quite costly. The other option is to set up your own mini-studio at home, which can be a better option for various reasons, obliviously with the right collection of Home Recording Gears. In this article, we’ll be looking at reasons you should be recording if you aren’t and why you might consider buying the equipment yourself.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It Offers Perspective on Your Sound</span></h3>
<br />
If you’re serious about your music and you’re wanting to develop your sound to be the best it can be, the recording is basically a must. Often your voice will sound totally different when you hear it recorded - this is quite natural. A similar thing happens when you’re playing an instrument and sometimes it can be helpful to step outside the music and listen to yourself to pick out things that can be improved or polished.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Home Recording - Easy Progress Tracking!</span></h3>
<br />
Recording yourself can be a great way to keep a track not only of how much you or your band have improved as musicians but the evolution of your sound. This can help motivate you as you look back on how you sounded a year ago or more and how much you’ve changed and learned in that time. So, if you are a beginner at audio recording then you can <i><b><a href="http://guitar-paradise.blogspot.com/2015/12/top-5-audio-recording-devices.html">check out the top audio recording devices for beginners</a></b></i>. Often when learning something, you don’t notice how much you’re improving as time goes on, and recording yourself allows you to get a sense of this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">It’s Not All That Expensive</span></h3>
<br />
Surprisingly, you can pick up recording equipment of reasonable quality quite inexpensively - and with the wonders of technologies and computer software these days, you can likely mix it too without too much trouble. Now the only concern is <i><b><a href="http://guitar-paradise.blogspot.com/2016/02/how-to-set-up-cost-effective-home-recording-studio.html">how to set up a home recording studio with cost efficiency</a></b></i>.<br />
<br />
If you’re super serious about recording and you’re past the point of playing around and experimenting, you might have to pay a little extra for a near-studio quality sound ($1000+) but when you think about the fact that it’s a one-off purchase of home recording gear and you have the equipment to play with forever, it’s quite reasonable. Compare this to pay per minute at a studio, where the hours can really add up as you fiddle around with your sound, and it’s really a no-brainer.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Time Flexibility</span></h3>
<br />
When you pay for studio time, you are essentially working on a fixed schedule. You can’t stop, take a rest or grab something to eat unless you want to pay more and truthfully, you probably won’t be working at your own pace.<br />
<br />
With your own home studio, you can take your time and stretch out recording sessions, working around your own schedule. This improves your chances of a successful record.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Develop Other Skills</span></h3>
<br />
When you have your own home recording studio, you will naturally pick up other skills in addition to your musicianship. You’ll develop knowledge of electronics and you’ll learn how to get the best sound, properly mix your recordings and other tech skills.<br />

If you enjoy music and feel that you have a passion for learning new things, then learning the guitar is one easy way to a whole new experience of your favorite music. It is one thing to be able to listen and enjoy your music, but a complete revelation once you know how to jam along with your very own rendition of your favorite song. Many people pick up the guitar and don’t fully get to learn the instrument and thus <a href="http://guitar-paradise.blogspot.com.au/2015/01/the-top-5-guitar-related-injuries-and-how-to-avoid-them.html" target="_blank">sometimes injure them-self</a>, but with these easy steps you can understand the mistakes that make some people quit learning, and to avoid them to become a fully-fledged guitar master.<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>1. Hold your guitar correctly</b></span></h3>
Many people don’t understand the importance of having good posture when playing the guitar, and as you are learning it is a crucial time to get into the habit of playing in a comfortable position. Many people will lay the guitar across their thigh when they start, giving them an awkward position to accurately see the fret-board. If you are right handed, place the guitar across your left thigh and tilt the neck of the guitar slightly up to give your wrist and hand freedom of movement to train your brain into playing more comfortably. Here are some quick tip for you:<br />

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>2. Don’t get too far ahead of your self</b></span></h3>
Many people pick up the guitar to start learning their favorite songs, but for every beginner, just playing a simple song well is the best way of learning how to play the guitar. Once you have mastered more simple songs, you will be well on your way to learning new tricks, as well as new styles of music as they will come naturally to someone who knows where to place their fingers and how to pick perfectly.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>3. Don’t ignore chord books </b></span></h3>
One of the best resources of any beginner guitarist is some of the many <a href="http://www.theguitarlesson.com/guitar-lesson-blog/guitar-lesson-review/beginner-guitar-book-acoustic-electric-guitar-books/">different books available to help you progress</a> your learning. Alongside other forms of teaching, chord books play a huge role in helping you understand the phrasing with your hand to play the chords, allowing you to see which finger rests at which fret, and how the chord may be strummed. Chord books are relatively cheap, and may offer a free CD or DVD-ROM to help you tune your guitar and play along with a few simple songs.<br />
<br />
<h3>
<br /></h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>4. Find the right guitar for your learning</b></span></h3>
Whilst it is natural to want to go out and buy the latest Gibson Robot Les Paul with all of the amazing features that the signature versions offer guitarists, but if you want to learn, the best way is to buy a simple and basic guitar that is the right size and shape for your learning. Try a simple jump acoustic guitar as it has a larger and wider fret-board, unlike an electric guitar and offers you an easier way to see your mistakes and allow you more space for your fingers to find the right strings.<br />
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>5. Get face to face lessons</b></span></h3>
If you really want to improve your chances of learning how to play the guitar, then taking lessons by a friendly tutor is one of the very best ways to advance. Having someone to ask questions to, someone to spot your mistakes and correct them before they become a habit as well as a regiment of classes to give your learning a regular pattern is universally known to work for many budding guitarists.<br />
<br />
<br />
For any beginner guitarist, learning is a process that is determined by a few factors such as your time and dedication to learning, your overall ability with other instruments you may already play and hard ork. If you don’t put in the hard work and <a href="http://music.tutsplus.com/articles/10-essential-principles-for-learning-guitar--audio-6414">follow some essential principles for learning guitar</a> then you may not see the benefits. It takes a long time to become a good guitarist, and a longer time to become a great guitarist. But if you keep at it, enjoy music as a passion and would love to also write songs, then you may make it into the legendary category, with a lot of hark work!</div>guitarparadisehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14945646202280434420noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6173368941274906937.post-29235019404719572942016-02-29T19:37:00.001+11:002019-05-19T17:48:13.058+10:00How to Set Up a Cost Effective Home Recording Studio<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
It’s the dream of many musicians to be able to write and record your own music for your band at home but for a long time, it wasn’t possible to do so unless you had mega millions to spend. Thanks to the advancement of different technologies, personal computers and the ease in which you can put your songs up online to sell, the home recording industry has never been bigger or easier to get into.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are a beginner on the music scene and are looking for an affordable entry into recording your music at home, there are a number of different solutions you can use to help you get a great quality recording without breaking the bank. In the past, the only available options were cassette tape multi-track devices, but with the advent of the digital age, you can now record, edit and playback your songs on hard drive recorders or your personal computer at reasonable prices.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The essential components of recording music at home</span></h3>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmG5F2mPBwIxXIamERFlfsNd2z8JRMIBE0gG88qMo7pqQtOocvmS77rCIArTLiv_1MvXj6fbgtUZN20OKiM99ZF49XCvS44kAyHiX4jOtpxu0k2oDFttAO2OlfPVJqQh64CZN4ovLyAQ/s1600/Recording+music.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYmG5F2mPBwIxXIamERFlfsNd2z8JRMIBE0gG88qMo7pqQtOocvmS77rCIArTLiv_1MvXj6fbgtUZN20OKiM99ZF49XCvS44kAyHiX4jOtpxu0k2oDFttAO2OlfPVJqQh64CZN4ovLyAQ/s640/Recording+music.jpg" width="600" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the most essential things you will need is a microphone or a number of microphones for your recording. A good voice microphone such as the industry standard Shure SM58, available at many <a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/" target="_blank">guitar shops in Melbourne</a> to start with for a professional microphone that will last forever. A boundary microphone is a cheaper option to pick up your drum kit, as dedicated mics for each drum may set you back an arm and a leg.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A recording medium is needed to record your music, as well as a mixing board to manage your levels and inputs from all of your instruments and microphones. Multi-track <a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/product/boss-br-80" target="_blank">recording devices such as the BOSS BR-80 </a>are where many beginners start as they often contain 4, 8 or 12 separate tracks to plug instruments into, which is a great option if you want to record your band live.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Multi-track recorders offer a cheaper way to home recording, as they not only contain a micromixing desk to get your levels but also a place to record or edit your music. Many multi-track recorders offer different mediums to store your recordings onto, with hard drives being the best for maximum storage capacity, as well as ease of use.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some more advanced multi-track recording devices allow you to hook up to your home computer for added mixing options, as well as providing live recording and effects provided by a DAW or digital audio workstation.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Going fully digital for your home recording</span></h3>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUOia_dQotx_sZDxRoGFivK6zUOBGQDk3gOZfj0plbg_gyHguClQYNBrRy0XYdyW8dSpbe8zbFXQXjIUA8BS-zEst-vaSiDbpncydw2VzZ0lCPvMwim5JItRQ5PX79-jWHQg3RdgXwO1Q/s1600/Digital+home+recording.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="430" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUOia_dQotx_sZDxRoGFivK6zUOBGQDk3gOZfj0plbg_gyHguClQYNBrRy0XYdyW8dSpbe8zbFXQXjIUA8BS-zEst-vaSiDbpncydw2VzZ0lCPvMwim5JItRQ5PX79-jWHQg3RdgXwO1Q/s600/Digital+home+recording.jpg" width="600" /></a><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some musicians prefer to skip the physical recording multi-track device altogether and opt for a completely digital solution on a computer. The use of DAWs has increased in recent years with many professional recording artists using their home DAWs to record and release music. For the best recording quality, stability and compatibility, a computer audio interface such as the Focusrite Scarlett 6i6 or specialist soundcard are often required to reduce any latency issues or delay you may have when recording your music.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These can be relatively cheap to acquire and do not need advanced knowledge of how they work to operate them at a professional level. There are many free DAW programs available to download, and with the addition of millions of plugins and VST apps such as Guitar Rig for added effects, you might find that switching to a home computer to record all of your music will set you free to worry about writing the music, and not the pain of finding the right cable to record onto your multi-track system.</div>

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">Most beginner guitarists who are just starting out go for an acoustic guitar, but often it doesn’t hurt to go straight for the electric if that’s what you’re passionate about learning! The difference is that it requires a slightly higher investment on your part, but if you’re committed to seeing it through and making an effort to learn fast, it can be well worth it.<br />
<br />Thankfully, you can pick up fairly cheap guitar amps around Melbourne if you’re looking in the right places. If you have just bought yourself an axe, it’s probably worth buying something on the small side that is inexpensive. Chances are it’ll take a little while to get to the point where you can appreciate the sound that a top quality amp produces. Here are a few we’d recommend with average prices.<br />

<span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;"><br />If you’re willing to fork out a little more, you can pick up <span style="background-color: white;"><span style="background-attachment: scroll; background-clip: border-box; background-image: none; background-origin: padding-box; background-position: 0% 0%; background-repeat: repeat; background-size: auto auto;">the excellent all-around DSL15C</span></span>, an amp that performs well across the board with an amazing tonal range. As far as value for money goes, this is the pick of the bunch and is a good option no matter what sound you want to create. Plus, it’s likely that this will still get the job done 5 or even 10 years down the track when you’re a much more accomplished guitarist - it can even get the job done as a stage amp if necessary.<br />

If you’re passionate about playing music, whether it’s your own or someone else's, it’s only natural that you’ll want to record yourself and get another perspective on how you’re playing. Recording your own music is a lot of fun and it’s something that every musician must do - it enables you to experiment and improve your skills considerably, as well as being able to mix and add new instruments and sounds into your music.<br />
<br />
For those that are just starting out and need some advice on the best and more convenient recording devices, the team at Guitar Paradise have got you covered. Check out our shortlist below and as always if you have any further questions don’t hesitate to give us a call!</div>
<h3>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Your Phone/Laptop</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Technology is at a point now where you can get a decent sound quality by using computers and smartphones. In fact, chances are the hardware you’ve got currently will get the job done. Mac computers are a favourite with musicians the world over and if you’re just starting out and aren’t ready to invest a huge amount of money into recording straight away, we’d probably recommend investing in a MacBook.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUat284xenC4coIIhdgi9-oD-GOtj4lQaSaUy91eBctmjAzUBy5rGa0Dt5suU2Iwf0D3uBw4aNkyZtCQDyWmSsOQuW7_2fT063WgUKftzLNjUm2lAu6PE4RrRYFXlKg3IoHwj_7otgpw/s1600/pexels-photo-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwUat284xenC4coIIhdgi9-oD-GOtj4lQaSaUy91eBctmjAzUBy5rGa0Dt5suU2Iwf0D3uBw4aNkyZtCQDyWmSsOQuW7_2fT063WgUKftzLNjUm2lAu6PE4RrRYFXlKg3IoHwj_7otgpw/s640/pexels-photo-large.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
Recording this way couldn’t be easier, although without additional software you’re mixing options will be limited - you’re looking at a simple recording of what you’re playing and little ability to do much else.</div>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. Mixing Software</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
More than likely you’ve got the hardware and you can get a basic, listenable recording from your computer - but the next step is investing in special software designed to handle various tracks of recorded audio at once. There are some inexpensive options including Apple’s Logic Pro and Audacity, which is actually free.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SOsnwgIB5ENWFJmHgntWzRL7YFr3Ds5uIGMmOix0fPkBckYswYoX0dK-FEDGcZaDVFOpUvP_MOCxfo27xSvSoTcUHyEj1sYpPgoLeHbOAvp0dOR7B02bE7i0xQi9TCA5aXKr8syEPNg/s1600/man-person-hand-party-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SOsnwgIB5ENWFJmHgntWzRL7YFr3Ds5uIGMmOix0fPkBckYswYoX0dK-FEDGcZaDVFOpUvP_MOCxfo27xSvSoTcUHyEj1sYpPgoLeHbOAvp0dOR7B02bE7i0xQi9TCA5aXKr8syEPNg/s640/man-person-hand-party-large.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
These programs will enable you to record and then take these recordings and stack them on top of each other to create a single audio track.</div>
<h3>
</h3>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Audio Interface</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
As has been mentioned, computers can take care of the actual recording part of the process. Basically, every computer that’s on the market today comes with what is needed to record and you’ll usually have a mic and line input. But the quality of sound is quite low and if you’re serious about recording your performances and your music, an audio interface allows you to do so.<br />
<br />

Basically, it stands as a middleman between your instruments and your computer, converting these sounds into a digital form that your computer can understand. Electrical instruments can be plugged directly into the Audio Interface and from there into your computer. One that we’d recommend is the Duo-Capture (UA-11) which costs only $109.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Microphone</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The majority of instruments can be plugged straight into the audio interface, which ensures the best sound quality. However, if you’re relying on a computer to record vocals, you’ll more than likely notice a mix-match in the quality of the sound and background noise is sure to be a factor. Once you have some experience recording and want to take that next step with your equipment, a microphone is the best way to go.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga2EfPfZOOQH8Le0Wmm1R_6vglw7NL7nLlXi7yzg5GS7w9bDv4bzjle5L3jY5n18C0sIC7nPKDJFrO28YjIzhcvSNB8qaa1aEM-DBE8V4WKSf9qtY8xCEuI_GoA0KuBAI7QbU-XJcx2XA/s1600/pexels-photo-52742-large.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEga2EfPfZOOQH8Le0Wmm1R_6vglw7NL7nLlXi7yzg5GS7w9bDv4bzjle5L3jY5n18C0sIC7nPKDJFrO28YjIzhcvSNB8qaa1aEM-DBE8V4WKSf9qtY8xCEuI_GoA0KuBAI7QbU-XJcx2XA/s640/pexels-photo-52742-large.jpeg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
A microphone is designed to give you a better sound quality for all vocals and acoustic instruments too. Different branded mics are appropriate for different purposes, however, if you’re after a good all-around vocal microphone for signing - the SM57 Instrument Microphone is the pick of the bunch.<a href="http://www.guitarparadise.com.au/ProductDetails/shure-dynamic-mics/572/882/shure-sm57" target="_blank"> </a></div>

<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5. Headphones</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
At this point, it’s a good idea to consider a dependable pair of studio headphones to make sure you’re getting the most out of your recording sessions and can pick up on the strengths and weaknesses of your mixes.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6ksLzy8b6u07Lwst_itGbls0zg4Dpb_zmFirghwXupWgM9PC4S4fTYL4F2gBzRMo-qyQMoqhjQ6nQqdDcRkWOStMTw-EH3hIwkqyZ9ytJ27VNjNcBp7Onn2RiyVLgdLHPJKxeu1wnR4/s1600/technology-music-sound-things-large.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="350" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW6ksLzy8b6u07Lwst_itGbls0zg4Dpb_zmFirghwXupWgM9PC4S4fTYL4F2gBzRMo-qyQMoqhjQ6nQqdDcRkWOStMTw-EH3hIwkqyZ9ytJ27VNjNcBp7Onn2RiyVLgdLHPJKxeu1wnR4/s640/technology-music-sound-things-large.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
It will take some getting used to, but your ear will start to get a sense of which audio tracks need to be higher or lower and what needs to be added. Headphones enable you to do this. Keep in mind that they vary greatly in price - for an expensive pair you’re looking at thousands of dollars. But to start off, you can get the job done with headphones that cost less than $100. The Samson RH600 models are a good choice.<br />

Fender Stratocaster VS the Gibson Les Paul - the battle is nothing new for the guitar lovers. For many decades now, musicians, guitarists and even historians have argued tooth and nail over which of two of the finest guitars that have come out of two of the finest companies <i><b><a href="http://grablists.com/top-10-best-musical-instruments-equipment-brands-to-trust/">amongst the 10 best musical instrument brands</a></b></i> should be hailed as the king of axes. Many guitarists are divided into each camp and will never make the switch. But there are others who have both models in their line-up.<br />
<br />
To give you the chance to decide for yourself, let’s look at some of the most fundamental differences in how these two behemoths in the guitar world made a name for themselves.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">How Les Paul made its name</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Back in 1952, Gibson was the first off the block to produce the famous solid-body thanks, to musician and inventor Les Paul. This musician put his name on the pride and joy of his work with Ted McCarty and his team at Gibson. Before this moment, Gibson was mainly producing Jazz guitars for <i><b><a href="http://guitar-paradise.blogspot.com.au/2015/04/5-remarkable-jazz-artists-of-all-time.html" target="_blank">famous musicians</a></b></i> and selling versions of them to the public.<br />
<br />
The Gibson Les Paul was one of the very first mass-produced solid body guitars and sold around the world as a popular, fashionable guitar that had lots and lots of new tones and sounds that other jazz guitars such as hollow-bodies, semi-acoustics and archtops didn’t have. Some say that the <b><i><a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/category/gibson-electrics" target="_blank">Gibson Les Paul was the first guitar to have a soul</a>.</i></b></div>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Not to be outdone!</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
A couple of years later, Fender, run by Leo Fender worked with Freddie Tavares, George Fullerton, and Bill Carson to create something special. Using a slightly different design for the Gibson models, Fender opted for tone and comfort with a deeply contoured body and featuring for the first time on a solid body guitar, three pickups.<br />
<br />
Both the Gibson Les Paul and the Fender Stratocaster were an instant hit and sold thousands upon thousands in their first years’ debut on the stage. Their popularity increased even more so when popular guitarists of the time used the instruments, and more importantly used these two guitars in new and innovative ways.</div>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Packed with features and controls</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The features of both models of the guitar haven’t changed that much since the original versions that went on sale back in the fifties. Whilst there has been an increase in the number of colours and finishes available, the choice of different types of wood involved in the manufacturing process has increased also.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
More options such as the different pickups available for each model, the standard models on each side of the Gibson and Fender fence have stayed relatively the same in terms of build setup, machining, and shape.<br />
<br />
It is this authentic original tone of each guitar that has raised their profiles in becoming the two most iconic musical instruments in history. Each guitar is equally of note for their striking looks that don’t look old or out-dated, as well as their thrilling tone and sound capabilities. But which model is better?</div>
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Fender Stratocaster Tone</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The
Fender Stratocaster, being a much lighter guitar lends itself to
lighter playing with its bright jangly sound and rich tone in the high
end. Usually featuring three single coil pickups on the original model
and tremolo tailpiece, some of the best sounds of the sixties were
created on a Strat.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPIddB2zlxY5KJTC_NmRReJWMmFZrClm6X4uHWD-0NqucMq6rzx4DkyUSGrSfKd9YpE8NT6LZ6aRQDlDrC68WJBhpmKlMEtrEtYVzNWNWQEeO8bOLDIM-8OQrJAfwuJ2bbyXnMV8AN9U/s1600/fender-guitar.jpg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgfPIddB2zlxY5KJTC_NmRReJWMmFZrClm6X4uHWD-0NqucMq6rzx4DkyUSGrSfKd9YpE8NT6LZ6aRQDlDrC68WJBhpmKlMEtrEtYVzNWNWQEeO8bOLDIM-8OQrJAfwuJ2bbyXnMV8AN9U/s640/fender-guitar.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Made
with a bolt-on neck, an alder, ash or poplar body and a thin, easy to
play maple neck, the Strat lends itself more to the overall tone than
the ringing sustain. Used less in heavy rock or metal music, the Strat
is the guitar of the people in terms of the music scene in which it
became popular.<br />
<br />
Some of the more notable guitarists who
have played a Fender Strat include Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Jeff
Beck, David Gilmour, George Harrison and Buddy Holly. The guitar became
synonymous with blues, soul and modern pop music to give it a truly
iconic status as <i><b><a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/category/fender-electrics" target="_blank">one of the best guitars of the modern age</a></b></i>.</div>
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Gibson Les Paul Tone</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
The Gibson Les Paul Series is a solid, heavy guitar that gets much of its tone from its bulk. Being made of a solid piece of mahogany, which is split into two and then bookmatched to get the wood grain finished paired up, the tone is killer and the sustain is astronomical.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYQzzRAnFplQcnZVl9vPPEOyhOGDWh-3l8Q_FFgIKjXbjGkjuXU9mbRwSvXVE5fnQ6grcMY-PS9JZtLrmjU8uw9MMVYN7-6_0kjYeBMvMkUZhzqdBxrRXHWcNxcgiyZ9v4A8WrQXRfcsc/s1600/les+paul+gibson.jpeg" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="gibson les paul guitar" border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYQzzRAnFplQcnZVl9vPPEOyhOGDWh-3l8Q_FFgIKjXbjGkjuXU9mbRwSvXVE5fnQ6grcMY-PS9JZtLrmjU8uw9MMVYN7-6_0kjYeBMvMkUZhzqdBxrRXHWcNxcgiyZ9v4A8WrQXRfcsc/s640/les+paul+gibson.jpeg" title="" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
Paired with modern humbucking pickups, the Les Paul is the guitar of choice for rock and heavy rock music because of its deep, rich tone that has plenty of basses, middle and a bright tone to finish. For these reasons alone it makes for the perfect blues guitar to make it a truly rounded player in the market.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Guitarists such as Jimmy Page, Slash, Randy Rhoads, Gary Moore, Pete Townsend, Joe Perry have all opted for this guitar and some might say that these iconic guitarists probably wouldn’t have achieved their status if it wasn’t for the Gibson Les Paul and the killer tone in which these guitarists could have created their own sounds.</div>
<br />
<br />
<h3>
<span style="font-size: x-large;">The legacy lives on</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
Both Gibson and Fender continue to innovate in their creation of some of the most recognised guitars on the market today. Each leader in their field, they never truly realised how iconic their guitars would become as well as the guitarists that became icons because of them.<br />
<br />
If you are in the market for a new guitar, you cannot go wrong in choosing either the Gibson Les Paul or the Fender Stratocaster - each is a modern icon with killer tone and a vast wealth of versatility, making either choice a no-brainer!</div>

Whilst you can go to your local music shop and order your very own Gibson SG variant for well under $1,000 and get a high-quality musical instrument, it is the previous owners of this particular SG that warrant such a high price tag. Both John Lennon and George Harrison of the Beatles both used this guitar to play and record music, which is why this particular, very special SG reached a stunning $570,000 at auction.</div>

This iconic guitar has gone through many years of hard graft and work to get to its condition today, so what sets it apart from any other second-hand guitar on the market? Well, its previous owner was none other than Stevie Ray Vaughan. The Strat was lovingly given to Stevie on his 26th birthday as a present from his wife and soon turned into one of his favourite instruments to play and record with, which after his death in 1990 sold for an astounding $623,000!</div>

6. 1939 Martin Acoustic</h2>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This guitar was another favourite of its previous owner, Eric Clapton. Being one of the most used instruments by the guitar legend, many songs, concerts and records were made using this guitar, so with that kind of heritage, you can fully understand why when it went for auction it made $791,000 - money that went towards the guitarists Crossroads Rehabilitation Centre. Good job Eric!</div>

Another Gibson on this list stands itself apart from the crowd by being owned by none other than Eric Clapton. Going at auction for a record price at the time of $847,000, the guitar was used extensively by Clapton during 1964 but was used less as the years went on. In almost perfect condition, the idea of owning one of the instruments that influenced one of the best guitarists in the world is enough for some to fork out this immense price.</div>

Another guitar previously owned by Eric Clapton went on sale at auction and again achieved an astronomical price. This hybrid guitar was born when Eric bought six vintage strats at a local guitar shop, sending one to George Harrison, Steve Winwood, and Pete Townsend, and used the remaining three guitars to create a hybrid with the parts and named it Blackie. The guitar sold for a record $959,000 at auction. An incredible return on the original $300!</div>

This classic, iconic guitar is one of only seven guitars that Bob Marley used throughout his entire musical career, making it extra special for those who enjoyed the music of Bob Marley. It has an estimated price tag of around $1.5 - $3m but we aren’t likely to see this axe go up for sale anytime soon, as it is considered a national asset to Jamaica, and is likely to be displayed in museums around the country instead of being sold off.</div>

Fender has made the top two in this list of the top ten most expensive guitars in the world, but who was the previous owner? A hint is that it was made an icon at the 1969 Woodstock festival but wasn’t burnt onstage might let on that this guitar was previously owned by Jimi Hendrix. Considered by many as the world’s greatest guitarist to ever live, this guitar was thought to be bought by a Microsoft executive in 1998 for a cool $2m.</div>

This guitar, although having no real heritage considering the previous players, was put up for auction in Qatar to raise money for the Tsunami victims in 2005. What makes it different is that it has been signed by some of the most influential guitarists and musicians in the 201st century. Names like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, David Gilmour, Pete Townsend, Jimmy Page, Brian May, Paul McCartney and many others. It sold for an astounding $2.7m making a great present or collector item in years to come. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jazz had originated at the start of the 20th century in the African American communities of the United States. Eventually, it spread around the world and the incorporation of various cultural sounds resulted in many distinctive styles of jazz music. Following are five great jazz artists that have brought remarkable changes and made great contributions to the world of jazz.</div>

Born on January 23, 1910, Django became famous for his unique musical sound, blended with American Jazz and traditional European and Roma music. He was largely self-taught and his first instrument was a hybrid of guitar and a banjo. He didn’t know how to read and write music so he had to depend on others to transcribe his compositions. In 1928, Reinhardt went through a tragic accident in which he had lost the use of two fingers and had to spend the next two years recuperating. However, even after that, he still played great music and created some legendary compositions. Some of his best include – ‘Minor Swing’, ‘Nuages’, ‘Beyond the Sea’ and ‘Dinah’.<br />

Joe had nearly 50 years of experience as a professional guitarist. When he turned 9 years old in 1938, his father gave him a $17 Harmony steel-string flat-top guitar using which he practiced for at least 5 hours a day. One of his most famous albums is called 'Virtuoso'. During the 1970s and 1980s, he became the most recorded jazz guitarist and he produced solo records and music with other great artists like Duke Ellington, Oscar Peterson and Zoot Sims. He released his last album, Joe Pass & Co. with guitarist Pisano after which he died of liver cancer in May 23, 1994.</div>

Wes grew up in a musical family. Both his brothers were jazz performers and he would release a number of albums as The Montogomery Brothers. He is especially well known for playing with his thumb instead of a plectrum. He grew this habit from playing at night without a plectrum and using his thumb so that his wife wouldn't wake up. He took up the tenor guitar at age nineteen and moved to the six-string electric. He was greatly inspired by Charlie Christian and he memorized Charlie's solos and played them in a local band.<br />

Charlie was the founding father and the primary architect of the modern jazz guitar. He gave his first public performance at age 14 with the Don Redman orchestra at Honey Murphy's club in Oklahoma City. After he was discovered by John Hammond in 1939 while playing in a jazz band, he was brought to New York by Benny Goodman. Christian's innovative single string picking technique was what gave his guitar a voice equal to the trumpet and the saxophone. Some of the best albums by Charlie are 'The Genius of The Electric Guitar', 'The Original Guitar Hero' and 'After Hours'.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allan Holdsworth is one of 20th century's most prominent guitarists. He is best known for his work in jazz fusion and has played a variety of musical styles in a period of more than four decades. He first recorded in 1969 with 'Igginbottom' after which he did multiple collaborations before becoming widely popular for his solos. He picked up the guitar at 17 and learned the instrument quickly. In the 90s, Holdsworth also created his signature guitar model with the Carvin company. 'The Sixteen Men of Tain' was released in 2000 and is very popular because it marks the shift to feature an all-acoustic rhythm section. He was born on August 6, 1946 in Bradford, Yorkshire, England.</div>

These artists have inspired many after them for years. You might want to try out your hand if you’re interested in Jazz. The best start-up guitars and also useful for professional playing can be found in the range offered by Epiphone guitars. Although the others are good as well, these come in a little cheaper but make wonderful quality sounds. Contemporary jazz artists have blended the styles of the ones who have passed away but left their art behind. The new artists are taking bits and pieces of that and creating new sounds for future generations. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are lucky this holiday season you might be opening up a gift to see your dream guitar, you've waiting for so long to play the legendary axe of your dreams, but don’t go at it all guns blazing as you could cause yourself an injury. With more and more people complaining about guitar-related incidents, here are the top 5 injuries and how to avoid them.</div>

Aspiring to be the next Pete Townsend, many guitarists can be seen strumming their axe windmill style to the “won’t be fooled again” backing track, but that motion can be rather strenuous to your shoulder and elbow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Not only can you bring your arm down and thwack it against the tailpiece, but you can also completely miss and punch yourself in the face. How to avoid? Play some <i><b><a href="http://www.bobdylan.com/us/home" target="_blank">Bob Dylan</a></b></i> instead!</div>

But there comes a time when some guitar players are so intrinsically biased towards a certain playing technique that it does you some damage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you keep playing fingerstyle for too long, your fingers will start to lose all of their feeling and large callouses will appear in their place. This is great if you are in a <i><b><a href="http://www.markknopfler.com/" target="_blank">Mark Knopfler</a></b></i> tribute band, but not really if you have a day job. How to avoid? Wear gloves!</div>

We are talking of course about playing guitar with your teeth. Whilst <i><b><a href="https://www.jimihendrix.com/" target="_blank">Jimi Hendrix</a></b></i> was a master as it, you may not have the orthodontic integrity to carry it out in such a similar effortless style.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Side effects may include: bleeding gums, missing teeth and an unquestionably large build up of plaque on your g string.</div>

</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst trying to get the ultimate tonal sound possible using a variety of amps, guitars and playing method is a great way to recreate the sonic precision shown by Carlos Santana, he does use a rather large plectrum to give him the edge over his rivals. Don’t get too carried away by finding the biggest plectrum the guitar store has as it may be down to your technique, only.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5) Gun’s n’ Roses blindness</span></h3>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Whilst <i><b><a href="http://www.biography.com/people/slash-20853643#related-video-gallery">Slash is a truly cool guitarist</a></b></i>, recreating his clothing style is maybe one step further than you need to go. Whilst it is considered cool to wear sunglasses indoors, wearing them onstage in a dimly lit pub after you’ve had a few drinks in the intermission may lead to you fall off stage.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ensure that you have full control of your limbs before donning the uber cool shades, and make sure that you have somewhere safe to fall. Ending the gig with broken bones - or worse still a broken guitar will have your band mates in laughter at you for the rest of the tour. How to avoid? Gig outdoors!</div>

We all love to rock out to our favourite tunes, play those killer licks and scream those riffs through our amps like the best of them, but when things go wrong for your trusty axe or something isn’t sounding right, why not take a trip to your local repair shop for them to give it a quick look over. If your guitar is in more than twenty pieces, it may be too late, but you’d be surprised at the top 5 reasons why your guitar needs a little TLC when it comes to repairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">5. Get Your Guitar Professionally Setup</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting that shiny new guitar out of its case for the first time is an exhilarating experience that will stay with you for the rest of your life, followed by the overpowering urge to quickly find that backing track to rock out to. But think for a moment of the time it took to get to your hands, the distance it travelled to be played for the first time and understand that not every guitar leaves the factory sounding its best.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b><a href="http://dogwoodguitars.com/the-importance-of-a-good-setup-part-1/">Every guitar should be setup according to the way you play it</a></b></i>, as well as being setup in a way that prolongs the life of the instrument and allows it to be played to its best ability. Your local guitar repair shop will have an experienced professional on hand to professionally setup your guitar to give you the best out of your new axe. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From tuning, action, intonation and nut adjustment, paying a little extra for that pro feel is worth its weight in gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">4. Wind Your Neck in</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One of the more common issues you may find with your guitar is warping of the neck. This can cause a whole host of issues down the line if not taken care of early, including damage to the neck, permanent warping, fret-board and inlay damage as well as pretty much destroying the guitar play-ability overall. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Take your guitar and with your head near the tail piece, look down the fret-board to see if any warping is occurring. You will notice that when lined up, the frets will either curve down or up as you look down the neck. A simple adjustment of the nut is in order in this instance, but be careful; you could crack the neck of the guitar if not done properly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">3. Modifications</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can obliviously <i><b><a href="http://www.guitarplayer.com/miscellaneous/1139/10-ways-to-hot-rod-your-guitar/22107">try some modification to power up your guitar</a></b></i>. This is one of the best things that a decent guitar repair center will be able to offer is a series of modifications to your guitar. It is one of the many added benefits of enlisting the services of an authentic Luther or guitar engineer. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
Popular modifications include installing a pickup to an acoustic guitar, changing your existing pickups on your electric guitar for a newer model, or making simple repairs such as replacing lost screws, broken pick guards and toggle switch knobs.<br />
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">2. General Maintenance and Servicing</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Every once in a while it is a good idea to get your guitar serviced so you know that everything is in great working order. This is especially true if you are regularly gigging and need a reliable and stage-ready axe. You may wish to employ the services of your local guitar repair shop to upgrade your guitar with better pickups, replace the frets due to damage as well as replacing inlays and machine heads.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A good oiling and waxing every now and again is a great way to improve the longevity of your guitar, especially if it is a vintage model, so ask your local repair shop about suitable polishes and oils that can bring out the best in your guitar finish, as well as preserving its overall durability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">1. Damaged Electronics</span></h3>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The most common fault to happen to guitars across the world of music is with its electronics. Any decent guitarist will testify to the somewhat flaky electronics in some of the most popular guitars out there. Knocked a switch off your axe The volume control spins continuously No signal Buzzing and hissing Call in a pro.</div>

Epiphone, a company steeped in 140 years of history for their musical instruments is one of the cornerstones of the modern electric guitar industry. The guitar came into being after Les Paul was asked to consult on a new design for Gibson guitars to rival the introduction of the Fender Telecaster. This iconic design, as well as its innovative circuitry which give it an iconic sound has made the Les Paul one of the most famous guitars in the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the Epiphone musical instrument company was bought out by Gibson, the Epiphone brand was used to create high quality, yet affordable versions of the Gibson branded guitars. With many other innovations still being made by Epiphone, they continue to create new designs, independently of Gibson. <br />

The Epiphone Les Paul comes in a number of different options available for the beginner or the pro which allows you to choose a high-quality instrument that doesn’t break the bank. The Epiphone Les Paul Standard is well regarded as a high quality professional musical instrument, despite its relatively low price compared with Gibson models. A number of famous guitarists use this guitar and swear by its quality and sound.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other variants of Les Paul include the Les Paul Studio; a ‘no frills’ version of the standard that has less finishing options such as body and neck binding, dot inlays and a natural top finish. The Les Paul Plus Top features a beautiful A+ wood top finish that usually contains quilted maple. But for those that want a true Les Paul experience on a budget, the LP-100 comes in at an amazing price to give you that authentic Les Paul sustain and tone.

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"> The legendary Bob Marley was a very passionate Gibson guitar fan. In fact, he was very much in love with the Les Paul Special, so much so that he was buried in a mausoleum with the Gibson guitar by his side. In memory of this great musician, Gibson launched its release of a Bob Marley signature Les Paul Special in tribute to his love for Gibson guitars.</span></div>

In fact, many of the members in the Beatles were all about Gibson guitars and this does include John Lennon, who used the J-160E during his time with the Beatles. Even after Lennon moved on from the Beatles, he still used Gibson guitars, including the Les Paul Special and Les Paul Junior. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><br />While there have been many great guitarists that have used Fenders, the musician I think of first is the great Eric Clapton. Clapton was initially a Gibson user however in 1967 he switched over to <a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/category/fender-electrics" target="_blank">Fender guitars</a> and has since used a Stratocaster. In fact, Fender released a Clapton signature line in tribute to the great man. Over the year, Clapton and his Fender have written many a catchy riff and the guitar suits his blues-influenced playing style.<br />
<br />
</span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , "serif"; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Another renowned Fender guitarist was Jimi Hendrix who was a significant icon in developing the era of the blues. Hendrix was often seen with a Stratocaster on his right hand despite him being left-handed. Hendrix’s influence on the rise in popularity and demand of Fender guitars cannot be understated. In fact, when Hendrix was asked about his reaction to his famous on-stage burning of his Stratocaster, he replied with this: “<span style="color: black;">The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.” </span>As a tribute Fender produced a limited edition Jimi Hendrix model Stratocaster.</span></div>

From the early days of Tom Morello, down to the days of Jimi Hendrix, musicians and guitarists have always been looking for innovative ways to enhance their sounds with a <a href="https://www.guitarparadise.com.au/category/guitar-amps"><i>variety of amplifiers</i> </a>and sound effects.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.516666412353516px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Line 6, one of the most prolific companies in recent history, changed the fortunes of the music industry with its digital modelling guitars, amplifiers, and other musical equipment. The company is, in fact, the pioneer of guitar amp modelling.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.516666412353516px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Some of the most popular Line 6 products include electric, bass, acoustic, and guitar amplifiers. With the release of Variax, Line 6 audio was able to convert all the pundits that doubted that anything good could come out of guitar amplification and modelling.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.516666412353516px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
With its subsequent Variax products, Line 6 has been able to redefine the cherished guitar classics; it has also paid homage to the finest guitarists of all time. The company has various types of acoustic and electric guitars that offer limitless possibilities with various models like Gibson, Fender, Martin, and Guild.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.516666412353516px; margin-bottom: 16px; margin-top: 3px; padding: 0px; text-align: justify;">
Another very popular product released by Line 6 is the kidney-bean shaped ‘POD’, which has completely changed the way guitarists record their sounds. With its success, came other series with improvements including active user communities, and software that allows the downloading and sharing of patches or device settings.</div>

<div align="justify">
Like everything else, technology has had a great impact on the music industry; the emergence of sophisticated computers brought with it a new culture of computer recording that gradually replaced the more traditional multi-track recording.
</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
With more developments in computer and software technology, software recording became the ‘in-thing’ in the music industry. Despite all this, classic music producers continued to wonder when the old days of workstation recording would return; when creative sounds would overtake mechanical sounds.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /><iframe width="400" height="300" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p_NZKPGClSo/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/p_NZKPGClSo?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div align="justify">
<span style="text-align: left;">It was not long after then that the </span>Zoom R Series 8-track digital recorder<span style="text-align: left;"> burst into the music industry, bringing back the old memories of work station recording. The recorder allows musicians to do quality recording on CD; it also allows dual track recording through the use of built-in microphones and external condenser microphones that plug into XLR inputs.</span></div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
The Zoom R Series 8-track digital recorder also has metronome and chromatic tuners that allow it to bounce tracks and carry out the editing and mixing of audio sounds. With this recorder, lovers of computer technology can still send their files to their computers and have their sounds edited with sound software.
</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
The Port-a-studio remains the most popular Zoom R Series product. R-24 however, is one of the newer versions of the Zoom R Series product and helps musicians feel more in charge by allowing them to create their own high-quality CDs and MP3s.
</div>
<div align="justify">
<br /></div>
<div align="justify">
If there is only one product that has had a singular effect on the music industry, both in audio and video aspects, it would definitely be the Zoom R Series recorder.</div>
