Improvisation and melody

Melody and improvisation is an instrument or a variation in playing music. There are differences between the two, if the melody is a game notation without rhyme (instrumental) with chord accompaniment rhitem and round, while improvisation is played out notation of the original melody, but still in rhitem and round the same chord. Improvisation is usually played in Interlude song or between rounds of the first song to song to the second round. Melody and improvisation can be played in single (soloists) with musical instruments piano, guitar, violin, keyboard, or a saxophone. Improvisation in the play, someone is required to package the original melody notation with a variety of techniques, so that the resulting notation is more varied, innovative, and can build and influence the listener or the emotions of the beholder. Thus, it is woven from two-way communication between players and listeners.
Improvisation is not a difficult game to learn. Usually the difficulty in charge of melody and improvisation due to lack of exercise and prefers to play games in high-speed notation or use excessive effects. So in this case did not prioritize the aspects of harmony, including whether the content is played notation can be enjoyed by the layman or not. Improvisation is not only played a notation and shows skill in playing musical instruments, but more important is how complete the materials (content) used in these improvisations, so that listeners will "float" along with the material presented.

Playing improvised yet players could be called improvisation (improvisator). However, improvisation was a stage play to be able to play different notations with the original melody. A person can be said as improvisator if he has to understand and be able to play notations outside the original melody to include various elements contained therein.

1. Melody and improvisation

A. Birth of Improvisation
Born improvised music in line with the birth of her genre "blues". Blues is the thrill of Negro slaves who wanted freedom due to the system of slavery. Slaves diamonds from Africa are forced to work on plantations owned by Europeans in America. Especially along the Mississippi in the 18th century. Their behavior is limited, even to communicate with each other was strictly prohibited. Communication they do is sing and whistle they contain a string of tunes that make up the melody. This is the forerunner to the birth of the blues-jazz and world music concepts.

Finally, hope and their desire to obtain and enjoy the freedom achieved also by the abolition of slavery in the American system. Every day happy negro slaves singing, dancing, especially along the streets of New Orleans. Their singing style was called a "Blues" or moans of sadness that poured into the form of song. Furthermore, many Negro slaves who began playing musical instruments to accompany the legacy of master their singing (Blues). Scales created a Negro slave creation product which is called the scale "Blue Not" or more popular with Blues pentatonic scales. Blues music evolved into jazz and blues music form other branches, such as the Country Blues, Urban Blues, Blues, 12 Bar, and Rhitem and Blues.

Jazz is one genre of music that comes from Blues music and was influenced by classical music is often listened to by their employers in a banquet and dance antarkerabat. Nuances of classical music to inspire harmony of the creation of the patterns of harmony Jazz melodies.

Jazz music plays one form of rhythm dasri Swing, Bebop, Fusion must be prosecuted or the existence of development and creativity that is called "Improvisation". In the playing improvisational notation needed materials or materials that will be formed into patterns of improvisation. To be able to walk harmonic improvisation, improvisation techniques are required, engineering dynamics, and engineering appreciation. Improvisation is said to be perfect if accompanied by expressions (appreciation), harmony (classical music), and progressive (the spirit of marching band).

Basically Blues, Jazz and improvisation has the same meaning, namely the desire to obtain "freedom" berekpresi in producing copyrighted works without being tied by the existing rules. Improvised music in the game is to play music without being tied to the composition of the basic melody, but still in the music chord rotation concept. From the above understanding, Blues, Jazz and Improvisation can be summarized as follows.
- Blues is the volatility of the latent desires and shackled to live freely and determine their own lives without being tied down by rules imposed.
- Jazz is the musical potential in people that one of them gave birth to various forms of rhythm, such as Ragtime, Boogie woogie, Swing, Bebop, Fusion, Jazz Rock, Jazzy, Foxtrot, Samba, and Bossa Nova. Musicality include instinct, instinct, thought patterns, emotions, expression, feelings, and harmony of music into one entity.
- Improvisation is the potential for creativity in the person who always had a desire to make changes and create new things.

Improvisation is berekpresi freedom and creativity to produce new works that are more innovative. In menjabarkannya not as simple notations outside playing original songs, although this is already known to play improvised music. But there are rules that must be understood and dominated, so the product of improvisation or the result of improvisation games you sounded beautiful, harmonious, and progressive. Improvisation is expressive, the meaning of good and evil a product of improvisation is very much determined by the condition of emotions and feelings of people who are playing it. If you're feeling uncertain, the resulting improvisation certainly sounded less good. on the contrary, if the feeling was festive and fun, improvisation produces beautiful sounds, harmonies and vibrant.

Playing improvised yet players could be called improvisation (improvisator). Improvisation is the stage play to be able to play different notations with the original melody.

Chorus Effect

Hey,

Tonight I was playing along with with a delay/chorus combo effect on my electric guitar. I put the delay to about 400 ms, with a 75% volume level, and combined that with a standard chorus at 20% max speed with a 60% volume level.

When combined with a high gain, compressed amp, the result was amazing! I was able to make the guitar cry for well over an hour to a beat that I created earlier today. The beat is a mid-pace rock/hip-hop combo percussion loop. I made it on Sony Acid Pro. I also put a reverb effect on the snare drum to really give depth to the overall sound.

I will be experimenting some more with many other new effects in the nearby future, so check back for some great recommendations on settings that you can use on your electric guitar.

Fear Factory Rocks!

Hey guys,

I wanted to talk a little bit about a band that I recently rediscovered, Fear Factory. I used to listen to these guys about eight years ago, and when I was listening to Pandora the other day, the song "Shock" from their Obsolete album came on.

I find their aggressive style to be incredibly influential when I draw evil art for RottenToons.com. I am very impressed by their timing. On their Obsolete and Archetype albums, they do a lot of "running" or "chugging" on the bottom string. This sound creates a train effect, where the music is constantly moving with abrupt changes at random times.

The vocals are great. The guy can produce these powerful death growls that are so strong they make me want to destroy Innocent property! I also like how he sings as well to produce a melodic sound above all the low-pitch chaos.

The double bass drum is awesome. This guy really knows how to make that sucker rumble. I love how the guitar fits into place with the double bass.

Overall, these guys are great. I encourage you guys to check them out if you are into death metal music. They also make a great background music for games such as Counter-Strike!

Experimenting with the Digitech RP250

Hey guys,

I was experimenting with the Digitech RP 250 tonight and came up with some cool riffs. I put on a high gain heavy metal amplifier setting, and then set the special effects to what is called "IPS". Basically, IPS allows you to choose which key you want to play in, and it produces a note in the same key only further up in the scale. The produced note is played at the same time as the note you are playing. The result is a great harmony effect.

I threw on some delay and cranked up the bass and let that sucker roar! It's amazing how much shit you can come up with just from screwin' around. In my opinion, the best things in life are created from experimenting with new things. In this case, it was the first time that I really gave much time to the IPS effect.

I created a great drum beat using Sony Acid Pro 6. I'm going to use it when I record a song tomorrow. I am going to take the drumbeat, which is a calm rock beat at 120 BPM, and I am going to place a warm acoustic melody over it. The melody will consist of a four part chord progression, with only two notes of each chord plucked.

As the melody repeats, I am going to put a heavy gain guitar with delay on top of the acoustic guitar. This will produce the effect that the distorted guitar is in the background, and the acoustic guitar is in the front ground. However, I may swap the two, and put the acoustic guitar in the background with the distorted guitar in the front. Or, I may just stick them both in the background. It really depends on the mood that I'm feeling at the time. Creativity is a very controlling thing!

On another note, I realize that I haven't been updating this guitar blog lately. Therefore, I gotta get to it! In the meantime, check out my brand new cartoon logo website. There's a lot of great stuff on there and feel free to order a design if you are interested.

Electric Travel Guitar

On The Road With A Travel Electric Guitar

By: David Smithe

The demands of a busy personal life may start to impact your music. If your job takes you around the world and back again, your guitar playing may start to suffer. It s not practical to take your valuable instruments on the road with you for short term travel. They could be lost or stolen. They could be seriously damaged beyond repair on an airplane. The risk is a costly one. Who wants their favorite axe smashed to bits? Certainly not me!

Believe it or not, there are some companies who focus entirely on making musical instruments and accessories that are geared toward simplicity and portability. A travel electric guitar may be the answer to staying on top of your guitar technique and maintaining your globetrotting lifestyle.

Traveler Guitars:

The Traveler Guitar makes several travel electric guitars that have many of the same features as standard instruments. Their guitars and basses feature unique, ergonomic designs that will keep you rocking on the road. Each instrument comes with a case and weighs roughly 5 pounds. Traveler Guitar even makes essential on the go accessories like small amp heads. They produce both electric guitars and basses for the road.

Hohner Guitars:

Hohner travel electric guitars feature a one of a kind design. Their headless construction makes the instrument much shorter, but it still packs a powerful punch in the sound department. The unique design is eye catching, and heads will turn when you pull this instrument out of a gig bag. You won t even need a strap to play this guitar, because it features a fold out leg rest that packs neatly away right inside the body of the instrument. Coupled with the perfect small sized or practice amp, this guitar packs a lot of power. It also performs well when plugged in to a standard amp, and might serve you very well in an impromptu gig or jam session.

Pignose Guitars:

The Pignose travel electric guitar features the ultimate in ease of portability, with an amplifier built directly into the instrument. Powered by a 9 volt battery, this little guitar is perfect for the traveler who doesn t want to haul an amp along. However, this instrument can also be plugged into an amp if desired.

A travel electric guitar is the perfect solution for staying on top of your musical game despite your busy work and personal life. An investment in a travel guitar is like an investment in your musical development, and it will protect your more expensive gear from dangers on the road. They feature accessories and amenities that are comparable to your regular instruments. These little travel guitars are perfect for jamming on the road, on your lunch break, or in between classes. Some of them are powerful and resonant enough that you could even use them in recording sessions if you wanted to!

Don t let your music suffer because of the inconveniences that are presented by traveling. Take your guitar along with you to relieve stress, pass the time, and entertain your friends, family and coworkers while you re at it.

Digitech RP250

digitech rp250Today I've decided to talk a little bit about one of my favorite electric guitar accessories, the Digitech RP250 multi-effects pedal. This little machine is a great toy. It comes equipped with about 80 preset guitar effects, which can each be customized to your liking.

The Digitech RP250 comes equipped with such effects as chorus, multi-chorus, flanger, delay, reverb, whammy, auto-wah, auto-yah, pitch, and many more. Each effect has its own settings so you can find exactly what works for your desired sound.

Need some more customization? No problem. The Digitech RP250 allows you to choose the type of amplifier you want to play out of. In other words, this machine has the ability to produce a simulated sound that nearly matches the original sound of such amps as Fender, Ibanez, and more!

Ok fine...you need EVEN MORE customization settings. Each amplifier can be set to a specific amplifier cabinet so that you can really get a unique sound. From here, you have the option to play around with the equalizer settings, including bass, treble, and mid-tones. You can choose presets for the equalizer as well as customize the individual settings. This is a great feature on the Digitech RP250.

The built in wah pedal works great. This saves you a lot of money since a good wah pedal is usually over $100.

Another feature I love on the Digitech RP250 is the built-in drum machine. This thing has a great variety of beats, which can each be sped up or slowed down. You can also adjust the volume of the drums, change the drum style, or just turn it into a metronome.

Lastly, the Digitech RP250 has a built-in USB recording device, so you can simply plug it into your computer and record quality sound. The software is free and easy to download from the Digitech website.

Go get your hands on the Digitech RP250. It's under $200 and its worth much more!
