Free Guitar Lessons - by Will Kriski ยป Blog http://willkriski.com Online Guitar Lessons - Free Guitar Lessons Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:20:07 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8 en hourly 1 WillKriskihttp://feedburner.google.com Listening to Pandora.com outside of US http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/WillKriski/~3/yWWvzFxP5LY/ http://willkriski.com/2009/07/08/listening-to-pandora-com-outside-of-us/#comments Thu, 09 Jul 2009 02:07:24 +0000 admin http://willkriski.com/?p=669
As you know Pandora doesn’t work outside of US due to crazy copyright restrictions. While I don’t advocate breaking any laws, if you were to want to listen to Pandora.com outside of the US you need to use a US proxy server (requests to Pandora.com come from that server instead of directly from your local machine). Some of the solutions involved downloading software or tunneling but I didn’t want to go there.

You need to tell your browser to use the proxy server instead of going directly to the Pandora website. In Firefox go to the menu item Tools-Options-Advanced-Network-Settings then type in the URL and port of the proxy server. Don’t be afraid to type this in as you can easily remove it later. An example that currently works (as of this writing) is HTTP Proxy of 209-193-24-216.static.acsalaska.net and port 8080. Enter this and then open a new tab in your browser and go to pandora.com. That’s all you have to do!

To find a list of possible US proxy servers (like the one I showed above) you can go to http://tools.rosinstrument.com/proxy/. Apparently you may have to try different proxies to find one that works for you. Using a proxy may affect your ability to surf other websites (that the proxy blocks). The one I used above blocks Facebook for example. So use IE, Chrome, Safari while you listen to Pandora or find another proxy that doesn’t block the other sites you want to view.

You can even login to your original Pandora account as they don’t currently check to see if it’s outside of US.

Enjoy!

I will custom design a lesson for you and include any video, audio, diagrams or tab that might be required. I use a step by step approach for mastering the fretboard and learning how to solo over chord changes. You master and full absorb one thing before moving on to the next which is best for learning. Details are here.

You want to use a metronome, make sure everything you play is clean at all times, minimize movement of the fingers and hands, and slowly increase the speed of the metronome over time. Michael Romeo has some insane speed you need to check out.
