  • Yeah man

    the underground is getting strong man. Soon we'll make woodstock 69 look like a creche.

    Music is such an awesome platform for life man.

    Enjoy the jamming, the people and the air you breath.

    HalleluJAH brother.

      Yeah Nick is Lisa's bro.

      Guess your my friend then.

      Did you know Nick's band RedEye Jedi played at easter koppi this year. They rock dude. They have a thick Tool influence and they play mad Djembe.

      I'm stoked to meet your acquaintance dude.

      Peace

      • Hi, my name is Billy. I’m good at teaching people how to play the guitar.I've been playing for 8 years and I teach a variety of styles. My main goal is to get students to freestyle by teaching them the techniques and theories behind their favourite songs.This enables students to create their own original music as soon as possible. I have developed a Revolutionary guitar training method which involves some colour therapy and association. The 1 hour lessons consist of theory, practice exercises, music studies (genres and bands and music history), finger stretching exercises and ear training. I have no fixed syllabus and I try to teach students what they want to learn. Poetry and art are sometimes used as metaphors for music. I believe that technique, meditation and proper breathing are very important for developing musical ability. I also like to teach a bit of percussion on Djembe drums as it fosters understanding of rythm and music as a whole. I am based in Lone Hill in the Northern Suburbs of Johannesburg. The cost is R120 per lesson. Call Billy on 079 517 3274 or email: hillbillyt@gmail.com

          I used to play 10's on my acoustic.
          then I got 13's and it was a little more difficult. I played a while and my fingers got much stronger. I found the same effect from a harder pic.

          I also started playing slap bass style on my 13's and it sounded much cooler than on thinner strings.

          I rate thicker pics and strings are good for practice. If you gig on thinner pics and strings after, it should sound much smoother and the playing should be a bit easier.
