Eddie Van Halen--Beat It(User Post)

The following post is a contribution by "jonezincorporated".

"Since your blog might be the best place to leave this comment, I'd like to share Eddie van Halen's famous Beat It guitar solo with y'all in ACAPELLA. It is the absolutely real guitar solo, completely acapella, free from the rest of the Beat It music. Don't ask me how I obtained it, but I did. Legally even. As the ultimate proof that it is the real acapella Eddie van Halen guitar solo from Beat It, I've added a compare track, which allows you to play with your balance button a bit, where Beat It is in the left channel, and the loose guitar solo in the right one. This is not a scam and my guess is that you can turn this gem into a great post on your blog. Here is the RapidShare link: CLICK (or right click, copy link location and paste to your browser)Please let me know if you like it, 'cause my guess is that you'll have a world's first with this one."

Thanks a lot for your effort. I hope more and more users like you keep contributing like this. Even if you find something great on youtube, just let me know. But first listen to Eddie shredding the hell out of his axe. ROCK ON!!!!

This Is Your Brain On Music--Daniel J. Levitin

If you are a self-teacher then you can't miss this one. Daniel shows how practice plays the most important part in being a great musician contrary to popular belief of "inborn talent".

"What is Music? From Pitch to Timbre" describes the elements of musical sound. "Foot Tapping: Rhythm, Loudness, and Harmony" discusses structural elements and qualities that combine to produce a physical response in the listener. "Behind the Curtain: Music and the Mind Machine" describes how auditory signals become neuro-chemical impulses, which lead both to emotional responses (the soundscape) and to intellectual decoding (thematic content). Familiarity and novelty lie at the heart of "Anticipation: What We Expect from Liszt (and Ludacris)."

With those chapters under their belts, readers, no matter what their own musical preferences, begin to understand the various musical genres. In short they are ready to tackle ideas of the way the mind categorizes music--and other things as well. They make the same leap that Levitin does, from experiencing music to exploring the science of perception and cognition, musical and otherwise.

Next readers plunge beneath the thinking mind to the living brain. They sit with a young Levitin who has been offered a rare invitation to join the "professor's lunch" at the Salk Institute. Four seats away is Institute Director Francis Crick, best known for his work on the structure of DNA, but admired by Levitin for his books "The Astonishing Hypothesis," which argues that consciousness arises from the physical structure and electrochemical activity in the brain.

At the lunch table, Levitin reflects on a passage from Crick's autobiographical "What Mad Pursuit." Like Levitin, Crick was several years older than his fellow students and had limited academic achievement when he entered graduate school. Finally, Crick realized that "lack of qualification could be an advantage. By the time most scientists have reached age thirty they are trapped by their own expertise."

But as a visitor, all Levitin can do is listen respectfully. When he finally gets his chance to talk to the great man, the conversation is memorable. "Look at the connections," are Crick's parting words. A few months later, he would be dead. Crick's advice resonates through the remaining chapters. "What Makes a Musician?" dissects expertise in music and in other realms--and disputes the so-called "Mozart Effect" as well as the claim that Mozart achieved expertise in an inordinately short time. "My Favorite Things" explores individual--and universal--musical preferences.

The final chapter, "The Music Instinct," makes a powerful case in opposition to noted cognitive scientist, Stephen Pinker, who argues that music evolved as a happy by-product of linguistic ability. This is simply not so, argues Levitin. Our minds and our bodies would have evolved very differently without it.

Like a peacock's tail, music serves as a powerful display of reproductive fitness. It is also far more effective than language in creating emotional bonding between individuals and among members of a group. From the most primitive to the most advanced subsystems, every human brain is on music, including yours.

My Apologies To Guitar Links Visitors

Hi everyone. You all must've noticed that i haven't been blogging since almost 3 months. Well after posting my 400th post, i got busy for a week. So when i returned to post more stuff for you guys, i saw an email from a company which i'm not allowed to name and they threatened to sue me for copyright infringement of their material because of obvious reasons and they also threatened that they'll ask google to delete my blog. So i requested them to check that the files are not hosted by me, they are all stored on servers like rapidshare.com so they can't hold me responsible for any kind of "copyright infringement". Well after an exchange of few emails they requested me....YEAH...they requested me to stop posting more links for the time being as they wanted to do some sort of enquiry. As a result you must have faced some dead links, mainly because they approached rapidshare.com and the files were consequently removed from their servers. After all that they are still quite pissed at me for making this blog. But i have to say that i seriously don't give a fuck about what they think of my blog (pardon my french).
So, i hope to resume blogging with your support and i'll try to post stuff at regular intervals.
And as i always say.... ROCK ON!!!! \\m//
