The term “acoustic guitar” is a retronym, because all guitars were obviously acoustic. It wasn’t until the invention of the electric guitar that a distinction became necessary.

Acoustic guitar refers to a hollow-bodied guitar without electric amplification. Six strings composed of either nylon or steel produce corresponding frequencies of open notes E, A, D, G, B, and E.

More Expensive Guitars
The top plates of more expensive guitars are made of spruce or cedar, and the back and sides are often made from Brazilian rosewood, maple, or mahogany because these woods are very hard and contribute to a brighter sound.

Lower priced guitars:
Typically combine solid tops with laminated backs and sides, and entry level guitars are made entirely of laminated wood.

My suggestion to you is to watch the ballad songs. Granted, ballads when sung right are very beautiful to hear and can be extremely popular with the audience, but the ballads very slow tempo also makes it much more likely to be forgotten by that same audience the minute you walk off stage. How many times have you seen an audience come out of their seats with thunderous applause after listening to a ballad? To become an American Idol winner, you will need songs that will get the audience moving. In that way you will make a connection with them. An audience that is moving with your song is much more likely to connect with you and remember you, as will the American Idol judges. And, that might be enough to make you an American Idol winner.

Personally, there is no way I would have gone out for American Idol auditions myself if not for the fact that I have had a lot of experience going to music auditions before, as well as a few gigs. I am not exaggerating when I say, an American Idol audition is probably one of the most stressful auditions or tryouts that you could possibly have. Imagine having to audition on a nationally televised program in front of some very tough American Idol judges. Look, just a normal audition is tough enough, but this kind of tryout is unbelievably nerve wracking to say the least.

My friend, Sheryl has been a great fan of Madonna since her school days. She also used to mimic her voice at school and have won many accolades. She wanted to know more about Madonna and asked me if I knew where to look for.  I told her that I knew some websites that had lots of information on Madonna. There are actually a ton out there, but one I like is called Chickipedia (kinda catchy aint it) It has a ton of info on Madonna. My friend thanked me immensely for helping her out find facts on her favorite icon.

Wikipedia is great for getting the facts. But if you want the dirt on celebs, specifically female celebrities, you need to go to Chickipedia. They definitely don’t go into as much detail as Wikipedia, but they have all the dirt and links to other places that dish the dirt. They’re a good jumping off point for pictures, gossip, and even videos of your favorite female celeb. Mine is Britney Spears and their page doesn’t disappoint.

However, I do warn you that it is a bit geared for men, so the details it does provide are from a male point of view, if you catch my drift. It is fun just to surf around thought. Definitely a thumbs up from me. And just between you and me, I’ve made it my homepage.

I have a bet going with my buddy. We’re trying to figure out what Rihanna’s measurements are (bust, waist, and hips). You know who I’m talkin about. Rihanna, the girl who sings that song umbrella. Well anyway, my buddy swears she’s “hippier” than what she appears. I think she’s pretty standard. Our debate has actually been going on for weeks. In any regard, I’m trying to find out what her real measurements are. I found one site that has Rihanna facts, biography details, and best of all, Rihanna photos, and the site DOES have her measurements. However, this is the only site I’ve seen that lists them, so I want to make sure they’re accurate before I bring them to the table. Does anyone know of any other site that has hot chick measurements (and pictures would be nice too)? I want to double check the numbers I’ve found.

It’s not that difficult once you apply yourself to the task and really, everything is just common sense.

Firstly, time and timing is very important.

Treble check the date of the concert so that there’s no confusion there. (Sounds stupid, I know, but it has happened) Then make sure that any publicity is printed and ready to be displayed in plenty of time. This allows for hold-ups at printers, weekends, bank holidays etc.

You want a good return on ticket sales so don’t leave publicising the event till the last minute. Things like” book now to avoid disappointment” and “when they’re gone they’re gone” are good stock phrases to use.

The design of any posters, flyers or leaflets that you create is vitally important. They have to meet the A.I.D.A criteria. Not sure what that is?

A=attention
I=interest
D=desire
A=action

Basically, the design needs to be good enough/bright enough/unusual enough to attract everyone’s attention. But especially the attention of your target audience whoever they may be.

There are many websites that sell downloading music per piece. The setback with these sites is that the songs are coded with DRM. DRM means the Digital Rights Management. After the membership in these sites discontiues, the music in our iPod will stop playing, too. For some, eMusic website solves this dilemma by offering a monthly payment.

My son had never paid too much attention to our music selection. I think he assumed that his parents would not have anything that he would want to listen to. He was very surprised at the number of albums that we still have and that we still have a turntable to play them on. We pulled out a number of Beatles songs that dated back to the early 60’s all the way to the Anthology album. I explained that I had purchased the Anthology Album at the Mall of America when it was first released. They still have a number of new releases on vinyl for the British that come to shop there.

Wait! Wizard of Oz, an MGM movie, was made 1939 – according to my son, in the ancient times. To be truth, Pink Floyd’s 1973 album, The Dark Side of the Moon, lies for him in the same ancient times.
