Ive been playing guitar for about 7 years. I was just wondering if somebody could recommend a few “pretty” classical guitar pieces. Thanks
-Scott
I listen to Run Around, Hook, and Look Around, all the time. Can you recommend other songs of theirs? Thanks in advance.
I want to learn to play the guitar but I don’t know which kind to get. My genres of music are blues and soul. What kind of guitar would you recommend?
I like a lot of classical music, but as a laymen – I hardly know the first thing about it. I do know what I like, though: energetic, complex music, such as Bach’s Concerto for 2 violins, Vivace, Violin Concerto No. 2 in E, Allegro and Allegro Assai, for example. But, having no background in classical music and faced with a massive library of classical works to sample, I’m at a loss as to how I’d find similar music.
I’d appreciate any recommendations from those of you who actually know something about this kind of thing!
Thanks very much.
I’m an absolute newbie to classical music and I love the piano. Would really appreciate it if you could recommend some calming compositions to listen to during study breaks. Thanks 
What equipment would you recommend for a voice and music studio?
I will be scanning sheets of music, saving them on a computer, view and print them with that computer. I will also be recording music and voice talent and need appropriate microphones, and recording video. I also need a DVD burner and will be making about 20 copies of each DVD. I need a list of equipment that I’ll need, including the make and models and preferably links to the equipment. I also need to know everything; monitors, printers, computer, dvd burner, everything. Partial answers are still ok, but help as much as you can please.
I need to research this as part of my Comp tech class, so any help is appreciated.
You’ve asked for blues groups or bands, so that’s what I’ll give you first… Many famous rock bands started as blues bands so try listening to some early works by these classic groups:
The Rolling Stones, The Yardbirds, Canned Heat, The Doors, Them, The Pretty Things, The Animals, Dr Feelgood, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Cream, Nine Below Zero, Paul Butterfield’s Blues Band, John Mayall’s Bluesbreakers, Fleetwood Mac, Little Feat, Led Zeppelin, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Ten Years After, Grateful Dead. They were all heavily influenced by the blues and covered many blues artists on their early works.
More modern blues bands would include: Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Hoax, Gov’t Mule, The Black Keys, Back Door Slam, North Mississippi Allstars, Two Gallants, even The White Stripes.
As for classic blues must-haves, you will not do wrong with the classic blues of Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson II, Jimmy Reed, Slim Harpo, Otis Rush, Buddy Guy, Magic Slim. Also Albert King, BB King, Freddie King and Albert Collins. For some soul blues try Ray Charles, Junior Walker and Bobby Blue Bland. For delta blues try Robert Johnson and Son House. The best modern blues artists are Robert Cray, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Bonamassa, Derek Trucks and John Mayer. Modern traditional blues would include Eric Bibb, Alvin Youngblood Hart and Corey Harris.
I guess that will be enough for now! Enjoy!
I’ve been playing tenor for well around 6 years, and my main reed has been the vandoran javas. My tone’s very brite, but im going for more of a darker sound, so what kind of reed will help me with that? And i also know that most of the dark sound comes from practicing your tone, i was just wondering what kind of reed will help me achieve this.
I like classical music but I dint know any of the composers reputations so I am not sure about pieces that are ‘explosive’. Generally I want militaristic grand music to listen to.
Any help?

I mainly listen to heavy metal…I want to broaden my horizons!
