Wow! On behalf of idiots everywhere, I apologize for not adhering to the Wikipedia definitions of lead and rhythm guitar. I've got to assume that's where you found your bolded definitions as they are exact copies of what is stated at the Wikipedia website on their lead and rhythm guitar pages.

Not too worried about an American Idol take-over... First, FOX would have to get the broadcast rights to the game. Second, I don't believe that the NFL would allow what would amount to commercial for a TV show to be used as a halftime show. Third, although American Idol is a hugely popular show in the USA (ya'll can tell me what the rest of the world thinks of it), the Super Bowl is

Little bit of interesting language. I'd be interested to hear what some legal experts have to say about the wording. Especially experts from UK as what I'm about to bring up is decidedly USA... The AP is reporting "possible domestic assault". In the US "Assault" is anything short of physical contact. If I swing at you and miss, it's assault. If I swing

From what my Mom & Dad tell me, I've been interested in music since I was still in the playpen. Piano lessons (cause Mom & Dad said so) and choir started when I was 9 and then I finally made it to the drums (childhood dream) around the age of 10. Tried guitar around middle school but failed as the piece of crap guitar they bought me really couldn't be played (they didn't

QuoteLieB Yeah, that's a good description, mr_dja. The word "beat" is generally a little unclear. Syncopation is a lot more defined -- it means a note between beats. Playing behind the beat, I suppose, usually only means "lagging" behind a little -- which in terms of syncopation could be on maybe the 253rd "beat" if you divide the 4/4 into 256/256... What a f

The best way I've heard it described was by a teacher I had post-college. He said to think of a beat as a wheel on a bicycle. If you think of that wheel having a stone in it, you will hear a click every time that stone hits the pavement. Think of that "click" as the beat, if you then place the note you're playing just behind that click, you're on the back-beat; just in

Have you thought about any Stray Cats tunes? Also, if you're a fan of early Rockabilly, I got a 10 CD Box Set off Amazon called simply Rock 'N' Roll which turned out to be (in my opinion) far closer to Rockabilly than Rock 'N' Roll.

I've been teaching guitar and bass for about 13 years and one thing I've found is that, unless you really know the song well, internet based guitar tabs, for the most part are horrible and can be very frustrating. My advice to you would be to find a songbook filled with tunes that your son likes and buy that. Obviously a beginner level book would probably be better than "record

I've got to go with Aerosmith.
