Dobro® Lessons With Troy Brenningmeyer :: All The Lessons :: Dobro ...Isn’t it just amazing how you can play a lot of songs on the guitar by just practicing a few of those guitar chords for beginners?

Friday, December 23rd, 2011

TASCAM GT-R1 Portable Guitar and Bass RecorderWho says only musicians such as composers and singers can own a home recording equipment? Do you know that I have a friend who owns the same type of recording stuff and she does not know how to make music or even sing. I’m telling you, it will be the end of the world if she does. She actually had no use for it at all when she first bought it. She did not even know she has a recording software installed in her computer. She only knew of it when she was tasked to make a documentary of the employees rallying in front of our school building. She first thought of just making an ordinary recording of the stuff via her webcam but plans changed when her boyfriend discovered about the recording software. All they did was to buy for speakers and a reliable mic to complete the work. I realized that it is not so difficult, then, to make your own recording equipment. I can, actually do it too, if I want.

My Failure on How to Play Electric Guitar

Monday, November 21st, 2011

I’ve actually been dying to learn on how to play electric guitar so I could brag to my friends that I’m a certified rock chic. But this dream had long since vanished because when my mom enrolled me to the program, I quit on the first day. I just couldn’t take it. It was frighteningly hard! My fingers and wrists were already sore even after an hour and the fingertips on my fret hand have small bruises on them that typing and using the computer invites a sharp pain which I really can’t afford.

So now, I still have the dream but not as intense as the first time. Maybe, I really wasn’t’ meant for this kind of stuff. I’m contented being a cheerleader who loves music very much. Maybe, music is not really for me. So now, I’m totall focused on my cheerleading which is really the talent that I’m really proud of.

Electrical Contractor Needing Work

Monday, October 10th, 2011

I will do my best not to use swear words. I just got a call from an electrical contractor Ottawa company and was told that my services would not be required anymore. I am pretty sick and tired of the same old excuses. You showed up too late, you work too slow. When I am being paid by the job, not by the hour, what difference does that make? This person who runs the contracting company had to lay off most of his work force. I thought the economy was supposed to be in recovery mode. Apparently construction is slowing down now and we are hoping for a busy spring next year. I won’t hold my breath. I might have to move to find work. If anyone has suggestions on who is hiring in Ontario please do not hesitate to let me know some tips. I will be very thankful.

A Distraction to Myself

Wednesday, October 5th, 2011

I left my small town when I graduated from high school. My parents knew how much I enjoy watching my favorite shows every night that they surprised me with an iplayer overseas subscription. They gave it to me when I was about to take the bus that would bring me to the airport. I was touched with their gift that I burst into tears when I saw the small piece of paper where they wrote the login details. I thanked my parents and promised to do well in school and not waste the money they spent on my education. A few weeks into my college classes I was so homesick that I was about to go pack my bags and go home. That is when I saw the piece of paper my parents gave me. I opened my laptop and typed in the login details. When I heard the introduction song of my favorite show I felt like I was transported back to my bedroom.

Gilmore Girls Season 3 Episode 14

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

During the episode Swan Song we really see how much Lorelai trusts her daughter and fellow Gilmore Girl Rory. Lorelai going out of town to see a musical with her friends. Rory is old enough to be left alone. In fact Lorelai has even made fun of her before in a previous episode where Rory just wanted to stay at home and do laundry the way she likes it instead of throwing a wild party like most kids would’ve done. However, while Lorelai trusts Rory she really doesn’t trust her rebellious boyfriend Jess.

Luke Danes, who is Jess’ uncle is also on the case. He has a funny system where he goes up and interrupts the two of them every ten minutes when they are studying or hanging out in his apartment. He says that he forgot something and it’s pretty easy because his diner is just downstairs. It makes it really convenient to check up on them. Then he just stores everything he takes downstairs and takes up the box later on and starts all over.

Got Him Involved in Those Electric Guitar Lessons Online to See How He Does

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

My son has a friend that is actually a self taught guitarist, and you guessed it; now my son wants to learn how to play also. Although he is not musically inclined enough to teach himself! So I went ahead and got him involved in those electric guitar lessons online to see how he does. I will let him do those for a while to see how he improves. He is bound and determined he and his friend are both going to be proficient players. I am fine with it, especially since the lessons online are a fraction of what an instructor costs to come teach him. It would be nice if his friend could teach him, but I know there would not be a whole lot of tutoring going on. More like playing around and buddy talk. He is only asked to do 3 hours a week, so that is not bad at all for him.

Tips for Drawing Better

Tuesday, September 27th, 2011

If you want to draw better, whether it is to draw roses, or to draw horses, or to draw people, one of the key ways to improve is to draw from something real. Even a photograph is better than nothing, but drawing from a real life object (or person) in front of you is the best way to practice.

And that’s another way to improve your drawings. Practice. And more practice, and more practice. If you really want to see a dramatic improvement in your drawings, you should aim to practice two hours a day. If that seems like a lot, relax. You could be a musician — they are supposed to practice four hours a day. Of course, if you are really hungry to become the best artist you can possibly be, the idea of drawing four hours a day will not repel you, it will make you excited to try.
