Learning the play the guitar was always a dream for me and I’ve found the place to make that dream come true Jamorama .

I grew up listening to my father play an acoustic guitar, he learned by ear and played the blues, some rock, a lot of country and some gospel. I’m not sure that he knew how to teach me because everything he learned was by hearing and playing. 

Teacher, teacher where can I find a teacher that can give the lessons I wanted. 

I was looking for someone to teach me how to play chords, give me tips, and tutor me.{  I heard about Fender guitars and Gibson electric and acoustic guitars, and they all sounded great, but I didn’t need a name guitar just something simple}.

Who do you think is the greatest, Eric Clapton, the Eagles, or Duane Eddy the list of great guitarists goes on and on. Just like Jerry Lee Lewis, he’s one of a kind at what he does (can he ever play the piano), but I would never be able to do that.

Is that what you think?Don’t give up on your dreams of learning the skill of playing the guitar and giving yourself a sense of accomplishment?  Don’t do that.

If the guitar is something you want to learn to play, well do it!!! 

By the way did you know Waylon Jennings was Buddy Holly’s bass player?I found this an interesting piece of trivia.

The bass has always played an important role in the music of yesterday and most modern music today. From the pedal board for the bass notes of an organ, the orchestra double bass, contra bassoon or tuba, bass instruments serve as a needed harmonic reference point and a bass foundation for the music. Some music works without a bass line, but usually in those cases bass line is cleverly implied by the arrangement and performer. Generally music tends to feel incomplete in the absence of a solid bass part. As music styles evolved into modern jazz, blues, rock and roll and r&b, there was a need for a new type of bass instrument to provide the necessary strong bass line support. This is how the electric bass guitar era came into being.

Though the very first electric bass guitar was invented in the 1930’s it never achieved the critical mass of popularity until the Fender bass guitars brought the electric bass to the masses. The equivalent prior instrument, the upright bass existed for hundreds of years prior to this.  The electric bass guitar offered a distinct change from the sounds that people had grown accustomed to hearing from previous upright basses. Instead of playing it vertically and either plucking the strings or pulling a bow across the strings, the bass guitar is played just like a regular guitar and is held horizontally. From a distance, the electric bass guitar could easily be mistaken for an electric guitar as the both look very similar with the same solid body shape, however the bass usually has a longer neck. Also, unlike an acoustic guitar which is hollow, with a sound hole to allow for amplification, the sound of a Fender bass guitar is amplified by plugging it in to an amplifier and speaker. Tuned an octave lower than a guitar, the bass guitar initially had only 4 strings and to this day, that is the most common configuration. It is played with a variety of techniques including fingering, thumping, picking, slapping and thumbing. Advanced players can also play certain chords and creatively use harmonics. Because of it’s close relationship to the drums and the pulse of the music, the bass guitar is considered to be a rhythm section instrument.

What is it that makes the Fender Stratocaster an individual guitar is the unique, intimate sound which comes from the three single coil pickup setup. Although they can be a little loud at times and need time to learn to handle at high volumes, they do have an edge to them  that is great for that rock n roll sound. They have a distinguished fit and finish, with great attention to detail. Plus others would agree I’m sure that the Fender Strat holds tuning exceptionally-extremely well. I found the action on my Stratocaster was setup great for me, which is an added bonus as well. You’ll sometimes find that the factory settings on some guitars higher than you may want it to be. I decided to go with a maple board for my Strat as it seems to glide smoothly, and a satin neck which is nice and smooth. They do comein a variety of wood finishes, but obviously its all about your own preference. The American Standard Stratocaster includes a new bridge, with refined bent-steel saddles for that increased resonance and sustain. The saddles keep that vintage look and tone, but with a few modern improvements such as spacing, slot elongation and height screw length.The bridge is designed to complement the 22 medium jumbo frets and rolled edges which gives you more space for your fingers . They have also elongated the string slot to lower friction and string breakage, whilst which improves the string break angle over the primary contact point. Besides all this the fact that the Stratocaster is after all one of the most sought after model of guitar tells you a lot in its self.

I ordered my Fender Stratocaster online from Music 123, which is a great site not just because of their prices, but the fact they are so honest with their reviews. The products they sell are of the highest quality. My Fender Stratocaster was available with various finishes which include the wood finishes and colors and on top of that a number of optional pickup covers, knobs, and tips.
