Learning to be an Expert
Everyone was born with some kind of talent and if you have a talent for music, you still must practice. People who are very good at what they do, are good because they practice more than other people.
The Plan
Eight Steps to Greatness!
1. Take music lessons.2. Practice at home for 15 - 30 minutes per day. If you really love it, you'll practice it more! Take Saturdays and Sundays off.
3. If you practice music, it will help you with your homework, especially math (ugh!)
4. Play your favorite song for Mom or Dad.
5. Listen to the music of the great musicians with your family.
6. Go to a school concert, symphony,or music program with your family.
7. Listen to your favorite music in your room.
8. Keep practicing the song until you get it right.

Easy Country Song
Easy country soloing (TAB) by Roo - MAY School #5
TABLATURE: http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x290/bubsy_07/MAYSchool5easycountrysoloing.jpg MAY school #5 country soloing Difficulty: Easy / Intermediate Techniques: open strings / 4 notes per strings chromatics/ hammer ons- pulls off/ chicken picking... Key: G This is some lead guitar country style again. Pretty similar to my farm soloing lesson (#3) but overall much easier with a lower tempo. The rhythm section turn over the same chords progression: G - C - G D - G I chain different licks built separately over each chord. Which means for instance: Over G chord, I will play a lick in the key of G. I follow each chord like this which means, I change key over each chord. Of course G major's relative minor degree (E) sounds good and can obviously do the job. So what I do is mixing into G major scale some notes of the E minor pentatonic and blues scale for example. I add also many passing notes which my ear tells me such as in bar IV which is actually a lick from Danny Gatton that works on any bluesy stuff in G... The 1st bar is the bluesy lick repeated over 2 octaves in alternate picking. 2nd bar, key of C, I use C major scale with passing notes (7th). I use chicken picking which sounds nice with open strings (D&G) 3rd bar is almost similar than bar 2 and uses same ideas... Bar 5, starts with a chromatics descending and is based mostly over E minor natural scale which works well as I mentioned before. Bar 6,7 and 8 are based on E minor pentatonic scale with passing notes. Bar 9, is a kind of banjo roll in chicken picking with RH middle and ring finger. Practice slowly those 8 notes over and over untill they flow... I play simple chords D and G in the outro. This lesson is performed with a Mayones Setius guitar with Stan Hinesley pickups. -Roo

Maker Workshop - Cigar Box Guitar on Make: television
With a piece of oak, some string and a cigar box, John Park creates a three-stringed guitar. The cigar box acts as the resonating soundboard for the instrument. John then wires the guitar to a buck-fifty cassette-player amp and makes it really rock.
