Band Perks

Joe Miranda December 15, 2011
Learning to play bass guitars in the mid 1960′s was challenging because there wasn’t much information readily available like today with the Internet. Yes from learning how to play to purchasing bass guitar packages the information you needed you had to get on your own.

It wasn’t until I joined a band that filled in the missing pieces. I have nothing but good thoughts when I think about the earlier bands I was in. When it came to playing electric guitars and bass guitars there was always someone to help fill in the puzzle that was in my mind. There was always someone around with the knowledge that I was lacking and was not afraid to share it. Even when it came to playing in between songs you could always try playing someone else’s electric guitars and bass guitars. That was a nice thing because you could actually try different guitars without having to purchase them.

Nobody Notices

Joe Miranda December 12, 2011

Learning how to play electric guitars or bass guitars can be a very rewarding experience. I know for myself I have played primarily bass guitars and owned quite a few bass guitar packages over the years.

I have learned my craft quite well, it has been over forty years since I took lessons and mastered the art of playing bass. I don’t play anywhere anymore, I just play for my own enjoyment. That being said it has always, and still amazes me how nobody rally notices all the hard work you put into learning, or how good you really are. Minor mistakes aren’t noticed because all people focus on is the overall sound of the band and if that is good they don’t notice the rest.

Truth In Advertising

Joe Miranda December 6, 2011

I don’t know about the rest of you but sick and tired of hearing these advertisements about items being 50% off. I have heard advertising giving you 50% off along with a buy one get one free to go along with it. If these merchants can afford to drop their pricing so much, then how much is the mark-up on the item to begin with?

Electric guitar packages and bass guitar packages are priced where you will never see them on sale, that’s because they are so ridiculously low priced that they can’t be reduced anymore. When you know that the electric guitar or bass guitar you are shopping for is always at a low price there’s no reason to hurry your purchase. Now isn’t that a better way to shop.

Attention To Details

Joe Miranda December 2, 2011

In all walks of life whether their is an attention to details that we all do, but is not necessarily noticed by anyone else. How about a simple task like washing your car, if you go the extra mile and even clean your tires do you think all the details are picked up by anyone.

This can pertain to you on your job, or playing an electric guitar or bass guitar. Has this ever happened to you; you go through the tedious task of looking through many different styles and types of electric guitar packages or bass guitar packages only to pick out the right one for you. You very carefully set up your guitar packages to deliver just the right sound.  Upon playing a song you mistakenly play a few wrong notes but continue to play as if you didn’t, at the end of the song the people around you applaud you for playing that song and never pick up on the fact you played wrong notes. The point that I’m trying to bring out is unless the people who are listening to you are guitar players too it’s a good chance they won’t even notice.

Multiple Gifts With One Purchase

Joe Miranda November 30, 2011
Are you undecided on what to get somebody for the holidays this year? How would you like to give multiple gifts to someone with the purchase of one?

Guitar packages are short for electric guitar packages, bass guitar packages, and acoustic guitar packages. Each guitar package contains the guitar of your choice, be it a bass or electric guitar or possibly an acoustic guitar. Along with the guitar of your choice is a guitar amplifier or bass amplifier according to which type of guitar you pick, and yes there is a difference. Those two items alone are enough, but there’s more. The guitar pack includes a guitar stand, case, tuner, and guitar polish and cloths.

First Guitars

Joe Miranda November 28, 2011
People just starting out in music and especially playing guitar face many challenging decisions before they even start to play. The question of what guitar should be their first guitar always comes to the top of the pile?

To make the decision a little easier there are cheap electric guitars and cheap bass guitars. Even better than that are electric guitar packages, bass guitar packages, and acoustic guitar packages. Guitar packages incorporate everything you would need to start playing guitar, and the contents of these packages very well might answer other questions you might have, like what else so I need.

Because the price of these guitar packages are so cheap it makes it possible to own multiple electric guitar packages or bass guitar packages.

The Invisible Bass

Joe Miranda November 27, 2011
The lead singers and guys who play the electric guitars in bands seem to get all the attention, while the people playing the bass guitars seem to be invisible.

I started playing bass guitar back in the mid 1960′s. I have purchase many styles of bass guitar packages through the years because I tend to single out the bass guitar before any other instrument in most bands. I have found that there are a lot of people out there that don’t even know what the difference is between electric guitars and bass guitars.

There were some bands in the early days of rock that let the bass come to front, it was like having a secret weapon. I owe my love to bass guitars to bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Blood Sweat and Tears and a studio band named the Funk Brothers.

The title of this blog pertains to everyone I’m sure. Have you ever purchased something only to find out that you should have purchased something else to enhance that original purchase?

This applies to the purchase of electric guitars and bass guitars, especially if you are new to the world of music. When you get your purchase home and take it out of the box you realize you need a case to store it in, or a stand to place it on when you are not playing it. How about that guitar amplifier or bass amplifier, did you know enough to purchase that at the same time?

Guitar packages come in electric guitar packages, bass guitar packages, and acoustic guitar packages, and are the solution to your problems. These guitar packs come with everything that you need, they even include things you would not have thought of, like guitar tuners and guitar polish.

Life Changing Experiences

Joe Miranda November 21, 2011
I have played bass guitar since the mid 1060′s. I had purchased my first of what was to be many bass guitar packages when I was sixteen years old. I learned how to play by taking lessons at my local music store. From my teacher I learned the basics like playing scales till your fingers bled, and I even learned some songs,
 
My idol at the time was Paul McCartney of The Beatles. Then in 1967 two things happened, a band by the name of Blood Sweat and Tears came along with a bass guitar player by the name of Jim Fielder, and a song that would change my life as a bass player forever, “For Once In My Life”. 
 
Jim Fielder was just an outstanding bass player with a style all his own, and along with Paul McCartney whose song resume’s speak for itself. “For Once In My Life” was recording by Stevie Wonder with the help of studio musicians back in the old Motown days. These musicians were called the Funk Brothers and were among the best musicians around. They were the backbone of that music and can be heard on most the songs coming out of Motown. James Jamerson was the bass player, and on this particular song he never plays two bars the same which for me and everyone else ground breaking.  
 
Idolizing Paul McCartney and Jim Fielder would be enough for anyone, but for me I threw in some James Jamerson also. It was the combined style of these three men that would form my bass guitar playing style.

Everyone Needs An Idol

Joe Miranda November 19, 2011
If you want to learn how to play electric guitars or bass guitars it helps if you have an idol. Even when it comes to purchasing the bass guitar packages and electric guitar packages you want to play you can use the influence from someone that you admire.

Whether it was coincidence or influence from The Beatles, the early days of rock found the hollow body or semi-acoustic electric guitars used widely. At some point after the use of the stratocaster style electric guitar kind of took over as being the most popular.

For me I am partial to the j-bass and p-bass style, and of course the bass guitar that Paul McCartney made famous the vintage violin bass guitar. I found that having these different style bass guitars, and playing them both personally and on stage, that your sound is broadened by the contrasting sounds.

I chose these bass guitars because of my idols Paul McCartney as stated before, Jim Fielder of Blood Sweet and Tears, and James Jamerson of the Funk Brothers who were the body and soul of the Motown sound of the 1960′s.
