Cool Music Apps for Your Iphone

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:36:02 +0000

Last month, I got my first Iphone and it’s very cool. The first thing that I did with it was to find music apps for it. Thought I would share some of those apps with you. These are my favorite Music apps. First app, I would have to say Guitar Tab. This app is awesome! It allows you to search for guitar tabs and chords of your favorite music..over 300,000 songs in the database. Another apps that I really like is called SoundHound. It allows you to identify the name you of the song that you don’t know. You sing a song into this app and it will search for the name of the song for you. Check out these apps. Let me know what you think.

Finding a Music Mentor

admin — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 03:18:14 +0000

Wow! The Fresno Lao New Year was awesome! The music was great as well. Many bands came to jam at the party including Pa Ya Nak from San Diego, Sam from Laos, Noumputhai from Fresno and many others. I got a chance to play in a live band and that was awesome. Playing in a live band is much funner than a one man band. When you play with someone that is good your skill improve as well. This year if you want to improve your playing skill I would suggest finding a mentor. That way you will feel more responsible toward yourself and your mentor during your practice. Take them out for a drink and ask them to be your mentor.

Also this week I want to share a Yamaha PSR Disco style that I just got from a good friend. This style is awesome! Go ahead download it and let me know what you think.

Last week, I was playing at a friend’s wedding here in Fresno California. The music was great! I think the guitar makes it great. A good guitar player could definitely take your music to the next level. So, if you are starting up a band if nothing else be sure to have a good guitar guy playing for you.

Also this week I would like to share my awesome collection of midi files that you could use for your next party. This is probably one of my best collection of Lao, English, and Thai midis. I know most of you guys have asked me about it. Check it out.
