Bass Guitar

Hello everybody!

Today I’m going to talk about something that I would like to learn to do.

Well, in my life, I expect and hope to learn a lot of things in many different fields, but now I will talk about one of all of them. And this is learning to play bass guitar.

I would like to learn it, because it’s an instrument that it’s present in almost every music genre, it complement perfectly with guitar and, with drums, it establish the beat of every song.                  

And well, because there are a lot of great bass players with groovy bass lines in classic Motown songs, for example.

I think that it wouldn’t be so difficult to learn it, because I know to play guitar (in a basic way), so maybe that fact helps. But sometimes I have a little coordination problems, so I may work on it. Also another thing that could be hard, it’s the hands or finger resistance, because strings are thicker than guitar strings. And, maybe, it could be difficult too, to learn music theory, in a better way, that it’s something I don’t know yet.

Probably, it would take a several months to handle it, in a basic way. But it depends of how often I practice.

To start with this, I would need a Bass Guitar, an amplifier and just in case, a pick.

Fiestas Patrias

Hi!

Today I’m going to talk about Fiestas Patrias, it’s something that I don’t like very much, but I celebrate it anyway.

Well, I usually celebrate Fiestas Patrias with my family, but sometimes I went out with my friends.

One of these times, I was in San Bernardo, and it was 2010, so it was a special year because it was 200^th celebration. I was in my last school year so with my school friends group (which Jenny was into), we decided to use all holiday week to celebrate.  

On the first day, we camped in a plot, we bought a lot of thing and we made a bonfire. We had a great time, chatting and laughing a lot.

The second day we decided go to a fonda, but the best fondas were in Buin, so we took a train and get there. It was very funny too, especially for a little theme park that was inside.

The next days, I made a lot of things and I visited a lot of people.

I really enjoyed that Fiestas Patrias, because I had a good time with my friends, we collected a lot of new anecdotes and also, knew how another families celebrate it.

Free Post: Tame Impala

Hello Classmates!

Today I’m going to talk about a band, that I discovered a days ago and since then, I can’t stop listening their music.

Their name is Tame Impala and they are from Perth, Australia.

This, it’s a psychedelic rock project, but they describe it like “psychedelic hypno-groove melodic rock music, but basically it's all about the feeling”

Tame Impala; it’s a five piece band, led by Kevin Parker who writes the major part of the music. Parker at the studio makes the albums with two more people, but when they have to perform it live, they make it with five members.

They have made two albums, two Ep’s and one live album.  But all the success started in 2012 with their album, called “Lonerism”. Since then, they start a world tour, preforming at festivals like Coachella and in live TV shows.  

This is a very interesting fact, because we can’t mention so many Australian bands that have been in this situation, especially in alternative rock circle.

I think that something, that it’s very remarkable in this band, it’s the artwork and the graphic side, especially in their video clips, which complete the psychedelic atmosphere that they want to create.
