Archive for the ‘Bass Guitar Package’ Category
Do you own an a guitar package? It can be either an electric guitar package, acoustic guitar package, or a bass guitar package. Do you find yourself wanting a newer different style guitar, maybe an acoustic guitar to go with your electric guitar. Maybe you find yourself wanting more power.
What would you say if I told you that with the help of cheap electric guitars you can have both. The improvements made on cheap electric guitars will give you a great sound, and for very little money compared to those expensive brands. You will find guitar packages in most styles and colors. Something to think about, instead of spending a lot of money on just an amplifier by purchasing a bigger guitar amplifier at a higher cost, find yourself affordable electric guitar packages with a smaller amplifier
It’s never really a bad time to get an electric guitar or maybe one of the great electric guitar packages that are available. I myself have never received one as a gift, but have given a bass guitar package as one. The look of the person that is receiving it which was my daughter was indescribable.
When you think of special occasions Christmas is the one that always comes to mind, after all it is the time for giving. But how about the warmer months, like June for instance. The kids will be getting out of school for summer vacation, and how about those who are about to graduate, don’t you think the gift of an electric guitar would be something special.
Cheap electric guitars and cheap bass guitars make it an affordable gift will last them a lifetime, if cared fro properly. After they have been out of school for a while the boredom sets in because they have nothing to do, electric guitars fill the void and create a learning opportunity for them.
I have to confess, ever since the 1960′s I have been a bass guitar fanatic. I will do just about about anything to achieve a new or different sound.
From the earlier years I was resigned to purchasing bass guitars and bass amplifiers separately because there were no bass guitar packages at that time. Piece by piece I managed to increase my bass guitar and amplifier collection. One day I noticed that the one thing all my bass guitars had in common was that they were all solid body electric bass guitars, so I sought out a solution to my problem.
I found a semi-acoustic bass guitar in the shape of a violin made by Glen Burton Guitars. I found it was available in a bass guitar package and tried it out. It was just what I was looking for. It was a copy of a Beatle Bass which made it a great choice since I still am a big fan of The Beatles. The bass guitar had a softer sound, because it was semi-acoustic, and it was light weight because it not made from a solid piece of wood. It is now part of my arsenal.
There is one essential thing that you need after you have purchase your electric guitar and that is a guitar tuner. If you purchased an electric guitar package, or perhaps an acoustic guitar package or bass guitar package, your fortunate because the guitar package will include a guitar tuner.
The tuning of a electric guitar is really quite simple, just clip the tuner to the guitar head and turn the tuning pegs for each string until the correct note is achieved. Before you start tuning your guitar you might want to check the height of the strings, if you wish to adjust the height let off on the tension and using a screw driver raise or lower the height. After you have adjusted the height and tuned the open string check for intonation. The open string should be the same note as that played at the 12th fret, if it is not let off on the tension and adjust the height of the string again. Repeat all the steps as many times as you need to get your guitar tuned. The whole process may seem tedious but it is well worth it. You will find your guitar will play easier when it is tuned properly.
After your purchase of an electric guitar package you practiced and learned how to play your electric guitar very well, in fact so well that you either joined a band or started your own band. A lot people think all you have to do is find other people with electric guitar packages and bass guitar packages plug in and start playing. To some extent that is true with one exception, doing a sound check.
Your band can consist of some of the finest guitar players you know but if everyone is playing so loud that it drowns out the other members in the band you just won’t have a good sound. Once you learn how to adjust our guitar amplifiers for you optimal sound people will start to take notice. The blending of the sound between the electric guitars both lead and rhythm and to the bass guitar is what will define your sound and make people start to take notice.
Playing an electric guitar of bass guitar whether it be professionally or just for your own benefit is a very rewarding experience. However, there are times where you find that you play the same things over and over, resulting in sheer boredom.
It’s not exactly a magic formula but what I like to do when the playing gets monotonous is put on a little Skynyrd. Yes that’s right Lynyrd Skynyrd. I find that not only do their songs offer a great bass line, there is also something for electric guitars, utilizing great chord rhythms as well as of course terrific guitar solos.
The next time you’re having trouble with the playing blues try picking up your electric guitar package or bass guitar package (if you’re a bass player like me), and start playing along with Skynyrd because it’s just plain fun to play.
Do you ever think about some of the choices you have made in your life after you have made them? Why is it that you liked one make,color and model vehicle over another. Years after do you ever think about the choice you have made?
Guitars are the same thing, when you first started thinking about bass guitars, electric guitars, or acoustic guitars you searched for just the right bass guitar package that was right for you. The electric guitar package was just right for your budget. Months after your decision you don’t even think about the fact that included in that guitar package was a cheap electric guitar and not some high priced electric guitar, in fact you don’t think about it at all, you just pick up that guitar and start playing because it has become a part of you. As with many other things in life the things that we surround ourselves with make us feel comfortable.
Some of my last blogs deal with the fact that today’s so called rock and roll is a far cry from the rock and roll that made it the powerhouse genre that it is today. Again, to sound like my father, today’s music all sounds the same.
The rock and roll that I grew up with made you want to go out and purchase your own electric guitar package, or bass guitar packageand start your own band. From the humble beginnings in the 1950′s where Buddy Holly showed us what we could do with just an electric guitar, double bass, and a set of drums, to The Beatles who introduce us to great bass guitar riffs, guitar solos mixed with guitar sounds that we had we never heard before. This all spawned the creative juices of some of the greatest bands ever, each one not copying the sound of another artist, but with a sound all their own. Today’s bands seem to have lost that creativeness and replaced it with the same sound that everyone else has.
Bass guitar is not the most powerful thing in the universe but to me it is. The powerful tones that bass guitars emit is one that drives all music and holds it together. It’s a fun instrument to play too.
I’m proud to say I have been playing bass guitar since the mid 1960′s. I took lessons as a teenager that taught me starting with the basics, and that gave me the foundation I needed to apply my imagination to the music that I play so I never get bored.
Today there is something called Tabs where someone just starting out can go and learn a song real easy. While this is easy it really does the person an injustice because they are learning the song but not the structure of the music. What I would recommend to anybody starting out playing bass guitar, first thing is to go out and get yourself a great bass guitar package then take some lessons to learn the basics. Mix this with tabs and you will find you will understand much more of what you are playing.
When I first started playing bass guitar I had only one bass guitar. I was perfectly content with the idea of having only one bass guitar, but then it happened. I don’t know when it happened but it happened.
Suddenly I had two bass guitars and to go with those two bass guitars I had two bass amplifiers. I currently own four bass guitars along with three bass amplifiers. The first two bass guitars I purchased separately. I followed each one by obtaining a bass amplifier afterwards. My last one I found this great bass guitar package that had everything I needed. Bass guitar packages didn’t exist when I first started to play but I’m sure glad they exist now.
As far as the title of this blog, yes it is still happening today and it has spread because I now own electric guitar packages along with acoustic guitar packages. Ain’t life wonderful.
