A Beginners Guide to Acoustic Guitar Strings
There will come a time when you have to consider replacing the strings on your first guitar, the question is when? That will depend on a number of factors, how often you play, how long you play for, your playing style and how well you look after your strings. A general rule of thumb is to replace the strings after 20-30 hours of play.
Why do I have to change the strings?
When you play, the oil in the skin at the ends of your fingers is transferred to the strings. This will further attract dirt which will collect on the strings. This will cause the strings to deaden and vibrate unevenly along their length. The sweat from your fingers will also cause the strings to corrode and you will notice this with a discolouration of the string over a period of time. The dirt will eventually find its way to the core of the string causing it to corrode and weaken. A good tip to prolong the life of the strings is to wipe them after playing.
What type of strings should I buy?
You should always replace strings with those designed to be used with the type of guitar you have. If you have a steel string guitar do not be tempted to re string it with nylon strings to overcome the effects of sore fingers for example. There are a number of reasons why a steel string guitar is not suitable for nylon strings. Without going into great detail these are - the nut slots will be too narrow for nylon strings and the saddle angle.
Even more risky is stringing a classical guitar with steel strings (although some classical guitar strings have steel wound nylon strings for the three lower E, A and D strings). Nylon strings are under less tension than steel string so the guitar construction takes this into account. The facing and internal braces are weaker and you might even pull the bridge off. Also, the neck of most nylon string guitars won’t have an internal reinforcement, a truss rod, to keep the neck straight. Without this the neck will bend causing the action (height of the strings above the fingerboard) to change and make playing very difficult.
What are strings made from?
There are three common types of steel acoustic guitar strings
Bronze Wound - These are the most common type and have a bright sound when brand new which fades quickly with time.
Phosphor Bronze Wound - Is a bronze and phosphor alloy which is used to give the string a warmer sound and extended tonal life.
Silk & Steel - The wound strings have a thin steel core which is surrounded by nylon filaments and then wrapped in silver plated brass windings. This type of string gives a much softer sound and is less durable than other types of string. The strings are under less tension which makes it easier to depress them.
Thick or Thin?
Using thicker or thinner strings allows you to change the tone and playability. A thicker, larger gauge, string requires greater tension which means the string will require more pressure to depress but will vibrate less. Less vibration allows you to reduce the action i.e. move the strings closer to the fingerboard. Thinner, lighter gauge, strings have the opposite effect. If you change the thickness of the strings on your guitar you may have to have it adjusted so that the action remains the same.
Finally, strings are a personal choice. Only by trying different makes and gauges will you fully experience each of the effects discussed above and be able to make a more measured decision.
The Evolution of Legal Music Downloads
Music companies and artists were enraged years ago by Napster, a website that allowed online enthusiasts to download and share music without any charge. As a result record sales dipped and many companies lost millions. People figured that since you can get songs from the internet, there was no reason to buy CDs. Cases were filed at Napster and many people were charged for stealing music. After finally being closed down by record companies, Napster and similar websites have been revamped to provide legal musk download.
Although many online sites still offer free music downloads, most of these music downloads are littered by spyware and virus. These sites are illegal and can wreck havoc to you computer. You may choose to download music from these sites but do at your peril. After being reincarnated Napster is now a safe and legal music download site that offer free membership. Restrictions have been placed on some songs but these are meant to protect the rights of the music companies and the singers who made the song...
hereType Today legal music download sites have replaced the illegal sites of the past and are becoming more popular. After realizing that paying for music downloads help the music industry, many people have become comfortable with paying for the songs they want. MP3 players have also contributed to the rise of modern digital music and legal music downloads. Those who still chose to defy the law to acquire free music are finding out the hard way that the risks of downloading music through illegal means can be costly mistakes.
The risks of downloading music on sites that are not for legal music download far outweigh the gains. With each song you download you also receive a bonus of spyware, malware, and viruses to infect your system. You cannot rely on firewalls and antivirus programs to protect you every time you download free music. Sure, they will be able to detect a few corrupted files but for how long? To be on the safe side and to avoid spyware, virus, and legal charges, support legal music download sites to enjoy junk free music.

My Chemical Romance
New Jersey hardcore band My Chemical Romance achieved a surprising degree of success with their Goth-tinged, woe-is-me take on punk. Labeled everything from emo and pop-punk to post-hardcore and screamo, My Chemical Romance are one of several bands from the early 2000s that created a potent, commercially viable blend of all the above subgenres. By also adding touches of metal, glam, and other unexpected sounds, the band has managed to keep things fresh and entertaining amidst all the angst and black eyeliner. My Chemical Romance: Gerard Way (vocals); Frank Lero, Ray Toro (guitar); Mikey Way (bass guitar); Bob Bryar (drums). Additional personnel: Cheech Lero, Jamie Muhoberac, Liza Minelli, Rob Cavallo. Recording information: Eldorado Studios, Burbank, California (2006). On this ambitious 2006 outing, My Chemical Romance boldly follows in the footsteps of Green Day, both in working with producer Rob Cavallo and in taking a conceptual route (a la AMERICAN IDIOT). The result is an impressive collection of songs that finds the goth-leaning New Jersey punk-pop group transforming itself into the title's "Black Parade," a darkly clad marching band that relates the woeful tale of "the Patient," as portrayed by frontman Gerard Way (who bleached his hair blond to convey the character's sickness). In addition to bringing--believe it or not--the equally dramatic and eye-liner-loving Liza Minelli on board for a guest appearance, My Chemical Romance proves its theatrical mettle by moving from the melancholy grandeur of "Welcome to the Black Parade," which bears an undeniable Queen influence, to "Cancer," an emotive piano-driven ballad. Lifted by its lush, inventive arrangements and Way's dynamic vocal performances, THE BLACK PARADE effectively stakes its claim as the SGT. PEPPER'S of the brooding Myspace set, and secures My Chemical Romance's shadowy space in rock history.

The All-American Rejects
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET, the first CD off of the sophomore album from The All American Rejects MOVE ALONG, features two tracks--"Bite Back" and the title track.
Out of the backwaters of Oklahoma rose the power-pop clatter of the All-American Rejects, whose 2002 self-titled debut album, released on the indie Doghouse Records, yielded a huge fan base and the attention of several major labels. In a field crowded with Blink-182 imitators, the band stood slightly apart by favoring ornate instrumentation, transparently honest lyrics, and a real knack for hooks and sing-along choruses Although it took several years for the band to record and release a follow-up, 2005's MOVE ALONG was a big hit that yielded a charting single, the infectious "Dirty Little Secret."

Pearl Jam
Pearl Jam strode the middle of the neo-hard rock road manfully with their angst-ridden anthemic tunes bearing echoes of 1970s riff-rock. They arrived as part of Seattle's grunge explosion, with a sound less "punk" than Nirvana and less "metal" than Soundgarden.Radio, MTV, and fans responded accordingly, making them one of the biggest bands of the 1990s. Eddie Vedder's intense, impassioned style marks him as one of the most affecting vocalists in modern rock, and the group's battles against corporate giants like Ticketmaster have shown them to be a true "people's band."

Akon
b. Aliaune Thiam, 14 October 1981, Dakar, Senegal. The son of jazz percussionist Mor Thiam, Akon spent his early years in the west African country of Senegal before his family returned to the USA and settled in New Jersey. His parents relocated to Atlanta while he was still at high school, leaving the youngster to make the most of his freedom by running into trouble with the law.A custodial sentence followed but the time inside was instrumental in turning Thiam's life around. When he was released he emulated his father by throwing himself into music. His home-taped demo impressed major label SRC/Universal and Thiam was offered a recording contract.
