Of course, there’s no “set-in-stone” time period for changing out one’s guitar strings; however, there are a few decent rules we can follow to ensure our guitars are always ready to go. Then again, if you’ve played guitar long enough, then you know as well as I do that putting on a new set of…
Artificial Intelligence is certainly one of those new technologies (relatively new anyway) that gets pushed on the work force without much instruction being provided on how to use it. At least, that’s been my experience with it in the federal government. Don’t get me wrong, there is training available, but you as the individual employee…
Many would agree: patience is one of the hardest muscles to flex. Some of us—myself included—may not even feel we have this muscle at all, or if we do, it’s undeveloped and unimpressive. Have you ever watched a friend, loved one, or co-worker show remarkable patience with someone you see as difficult, leaving you wondering,…
Do you find yourself trying to talk nice to the AI (LLM) when you’re typing in your prompts? i.e., saying things like, “Please,” and, “Not right now, maybe later. First, I need to ask this…” Or, maybe, “Try and create for me a… whatever…” Instead of simply: “Create this…” ? THE AI DOESN’T HAVE FEELINGS…
I don’t mean, what if we took the internet away… all of a sudden… but rather if it didn’t exist at all today (2026). Although that would be an interesting situation to contemplate, for sure – stripping it away from our current, completely reliant selves all of a sudden. I’m not going to lie, that…
Most of us tend to associate our artistic production with one (or more) musical styles or genres. There are just certain types of rhythms, melodies, and overall tones that draw us closer to that particular type of music. First off, is it even necessary to define your genre? One could say that there are definitely…
Here’s a reason (or two, or three…) why a lot of musicians still treasure vintage analog technology… In an era of increasingly computerized music production and artificial intelligence (AI), analog MIDI modules stand as evidence of the warmth, character, and irreplaceable sonic qualities that have mesmerized musicians for decades. My Dad’s Oberheim Matrix 1000 Far…
It’s understood this day in age that most people recording music at home are using a DAW, or Digital Audio Workstation, such as Logic Pro X, Pro Tools, Cubase, etc. … Using one of these DAWs is pretty much the norm and requires a computer since it is a software-based solution to recording multiple tracks….
If you’re looking for a guitar that you can easily take on an airplane with you, look no further. The Taylor BT1 and / or BT2 is “the ticket (no pun intended).” In this case, I’m talking about Taylor’s later model, the BT2. My Taylor – Baby Taylor II – Quick Demo Video Script: Traveling…
If you’ve played music in some sort of garage band or as a solo act, then you’ve probably experienced the weekly jam nights at one of your local musician watering holes. Those times when you didn’t have to pitch your music to the establishment owner for him/her to allow you to play. Of course, you…
