Gibson Les Paul History

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:31:12 +0000

1952 marked the beginning of the modern day guitar revolution. It was in this year that Les Paul and Gibson teamed up to create the Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. Whether you are aware of it or not, you have probably experienced this guitar in someway or another. You may have gone to a live a show and seen your favorite musician playing it or you've heard it on your favorite record, this guitar is a staple in the music industry and has been since its creation all those years ago.

The story of the guitar's burth is a little different depending on who you ask. Les Paul is responsible for adding elements to the guitar such as the trapeze-style tailpiece. Les Paul was a very popular Jazz musician at the time. When the guitar was created, Ted McCarty was in charge of Gibson. There are claims that the guitar was completely designed before Gibson ever talked to Les Paul. Gibson did this to get an endorsement for their new guitar from a well known jazz and pop guitar player.

Despite the legendary status the Les Paul has these days, believe it or not, it was rejected when it was first introduced. Les Paul's prototype was called 'The Log' and it was rejected when he submitted it. His thought was to put electronic pickups onto a solid guitar as opposed to the semi-hollow bodies that were popular then. His unique design spurred the industry in a new direction and expanded on the idea of the electric guitar that became wildly popular. Since then, Les Paul's guitar has gained traction with guitarists through the decades to finally rise to icon status.

The rich, storied history of the unique Gibson Les Paul electric guitar still attracts guitar enthusiasts and collectors to this day. The unique tone spectrum of the guitar is used by many studio musicians. Many notable musicians use this guitar still today. Some notable users have been: Chet Atkins, Chuck Berry, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, The Edge, David Grohl, Eric Johnson, Ted Nugent, Keith Richards and many, many more. It has a rich clientele that continues to grow, making this guitar one of the most landmark electric instruments to hit the market.

Aces high! The Iron Maiden merchandising machine

admin — Tue, 07 Apr 2009 16:31:11 +0000

What are the benefits of branded merchandise for your band? Lets look at one of last night’s winners to proove a point.

Iron maiden, The band won ‘best live band’ last night to the delight of headbangers everywhere. (UP THE IRONS!). I went to Maiden’s twickenham gig in June last year, and there were 5 seperate full-sized merchandise stands around and inside the venue which were always packed. one of the music industires dirty secrets: bands dont make money on album sales generally, but on touring and merchandise sales. For bands like Iron Maiden and Metallica who sell thousands of t-shirts at concerts this is a very sweet piece of pie, considering twickenham holds 55,000 people for concerts, and a t-shirt was £20 each, not knowing the sales figures we cant really do the maths -im betting its a HUGE number in the five figure region. But when they were a smaller band in the late 70’s early 80s Merch sales were keeping them on the road until 1983’s ‘number of the beast’ exploded and took them to the next level as a band. Cannibal Corpse’s bloody imagery that is shown on their t-shirts have kept them making a living out of their music and on tour for years.

Promotional merchandise can also help get your bands name out there.

People will buy cool looking merchandise to wear/ display, out in public, which will be seen by other people, and if they also like the design/ logo, they may come to a gig or at least check out your myspace page. The more people are exposed to your logo, the more can become interested and quickly become merch buying fans. Unless your a die hard fan, most people will buy one copy of the album (why would you need anymore?) but 2 or 3 t-shirts to wear out.

How can I burn DVD rentals?

admin — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 18:12:12 +0000

DVDfab Express, Is a good decryptor and the one button operation is easy to use and and the program is constantly updated. Free

DVD decryptor is a little more complicated but offers alot more information about what it's doing at the time. it's also free.

ImgBurn can write most types of CD / DVD images and it supports all the latest writers. You can even use ImgBurn to erase / format your rewritable media! ImgBurn can be found along side DVD decrypter and it's free.

DeepBurner Free, although being free, has limitations, it wont burn DVD format videos but will burn Data DVDs so you could burn MPGs. You can make photo albums and audio CDs

DVD shrink is free but is outdated and doesn't work on the newer ARccOS or Arc Cosine protected DVDs. But if you use DVDfab to make a copy to your harddrive, you can then use DVD shrink to compress it to fit on a standard size DVD.

Nero Burning Rom is good for burning the files to a DVD but it won't decrypt DVDs or compress them. Also is not free.

Clone DVD isn't free and doesn't decrypt, it will compress the video to fit a standard DVD. You can even remove sections of the DVD you don't want while still preserving the menus. But you still need a program to decrypt the DVD first.

AnyDVD is nice, it sits in the background and decrypts while sitting in the system tray so any dvd copying software will work even Nero. But it's not free

How do I preserve the audio when copying DVD to VHS?

admin — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 22:01:26 +0000

I have been copying DVD rentals to VHS to watch later. The problem is, there sems to be some kind of gain control on the vcr. This is decreasing the impact of the movie soundtrack. When anything louder happens in the movie, the audio seems to drop.
I'm not expecting 5 channel surround or anything, I just want to know how to preserve the audio levels.

High quality tape and video recorder, you still will not get the DVD quality though. But a high end VCR and connectivity (gold connectors, HDMI cables) and at a very low speed will get you close.

Amazon DVD rentals renting box sets?

admin — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 00:48:21 +0000

I recently put wire in the blood series 3 on my dvd rental list for amazon. It displayed as two discs on the list but when the first was sent 2 discs arrived in a special double cardboard case in the usual envelope. I wondered what was going on but it turned out they sent both dvds when they said just the first had gone out and I only ended up using one rental for 2 discs. Was this just luck or does this usually happen with amazon rentals when renting boxsets because if so then it would definitly be worth doing again.

Blockbuster does the same IF the film/programme is a two disc version.However IF the series is something on the lines of say Rome (six discs) then you`ll get one at a time.

Upconversion DVD player better than old DVD player to new Sony TV?

admin — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 04:04:37 +0000

Sony manual says can hook up DVD players (480, 720, etc) to the component input. Does the UP-CONVERSION DVD player show better picture than the old 480 DVD player when playing rental DVD's?

NO…..they don't improve it much, IF at all…..

Save your money for an HD-DVD player like the Toshiba HDA2…

Those units IMPROVE the old DVDS……and you get HD too….
