I was introduced to the acoustic player Maneli Jamal only a few minutes ago, and I think it is a worthwhile posted a brief article about him. He’s one of the Acoustic Guitar Players in Guitar Idol

A quote from Guitar Idol site “Having dedicated himself to the exploration of acoustic guitar technique, Maneli Jamal is a completely self-taught solo acoustic instrumental guitarist that creates eclectic, adventurous and moving songs that capture the imagination of his audiences. Currently living in Canada, he is trying to pursue his passion as a profession!”

Dumbest Music Copyright Thing I Have Ever Heard

I never get involved in court cases, especially if they have nothing to do with me, but I couldn’t resist this one. I was watching the news tonight and amonst a whole lot of very boring stuff, something jumped out at me.

You may remember an Australian Band called Men at Work, they had a it with a song called Down Under. … “he just smiled and gve me a vegemite sandwich….on a Hippie trail head full of Zombie” fame. Well, there is a claim that the tune Down Under is a rip off of a childrens song called Kookaburra Sits in the Old Gum Tree, here is the article Daily Telegraph Kookaburra Sits in he Old Gum Tree. What made me laugh is that the part that is supposedly ripped off is a bar or so in the flute solo. I struggled when I heard the accusation, in fact I roared with laughter. Musicians quote from other tunes in solos on numerous occassions. The relationship between the main tune with its pseudo reggae beat to the solo is close to irrelevant. I’ll be watching this one with wonder and awe.

Meanwhile I’ve just been listening to Milton Nascimento sing Ghost Riders in the Sky in Portugeuse.

Acoustic Guitar Blues Scales

I wrote a very simple and helpful guitar TAB and Music Notation of Essential Blues Scales for Acoustic Guitar some time ago. Obviously they are suitable for electric guitar. As there are many new visitors all the time to my acoustic guitar sites, I thought it would be a good idea to post a quick article about them. In many of them I have included a number of open string because I like the sound of open strings on an acoustic, and also it creates a little breathing space. Yes there are other ones than these but hese are nice ones to get players started or for those that wish to brush up on their scales.

Free the Enemy of Good – ISP’s versus Music Industry

tony hogan — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 22:57:35 +0000

I was alerted to the article about the manager of U2 – Paul McGuinness. It’s an interesting debate which ultimately involves the destiny and marketing of music in general. I know that Seth Godin wrote an interesting article some time ago, and many thngs in it I didn’t particularly agree with. It is the very thing that a friend of mine who managers one of the top bands around at the moment, and I were discussing a few weeks back. The musicians perspective is often very different from the Give Me More for Nothing Mentality

If you are a musician, I suggest you read this article at CNN U2 Manager – Free is the Enemy of Good
