Setting Up My Website

Wednesday, May 28th, 2008

As I mentioned in the earlier post on “My First Domain”, I am still in the progress of doing it up.

Take note that I might not be posting as often as I usually do. Maybe only once a week, or even not.
Occasionally, I may post what I learnt in the midst of setting up my website, just for recording sake.

Gibson Lifestyle

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

Ok, straight to the point.

I want to recommend a good guitar-related website.

http://www.gibson.com/
blog

I actually subscribe to the RSS of the Gibson Lifestyle.

Sometimes, I don’t have the time to read all my RSS (duh). Nevertheless, RSS displays to me the subjects that I am interested in. In Gibson Lifestyle, I like the “Lesson of the Day” in particular.

In “Lesson of the Day“, the website will refer to a lesson in their archive.

Here are 3 examples:
(click to open the links)
What I like is that it’s shown in videos. There’s reference to where the actual source of the videos come from. Sometimes, there’ll even be a complete score provided! In the above 2 examples’ pages, scroll down to see the score. Besides, this really expands my horizon of the guitar world. (Some people only knows Rock and Roll, and know nothing else. =.=)

I mean, I may not play all the styles in the world, but at least I get to know they exist. “Hey! I didn’t know you can do that on guitar!” “Wow! That’s a new trick and technique!” You know, that kinda stuff.

So, for those of us who likes to learn more in guitar playing, I recommend this website.
On a side note, if you are using Firefox Web Browser version 2 or above, you can use a add-on called “DownloadHelper” from Mozilla Add-Ons website itself. I use it sometime to download the video(s) off the webpage. The downloaded file is in .flv format, so you got to convert it if your computer doesn’t support .flv. My MacBook uses iSquint to convert videos files alright.
Feel free to comment on this post!
