SONG SURGEON SPECIAL UPDATE

I’ve just been notified that the price for Song Surgeon will increase by at least 25% on Wednesday, October 31st.  

Song Surgeon  allows you to slow down a song so you can hear not only WHAT is being played, but the nuances of HOW it is played.  A recent customers’ survey revealed that Song Surgeon’s slow down feature increased their ability to learn a song by a whopping 667%.

But of course, Song Surgeon gives you much more than just this single feature, such as: pitch change, looping, equalizer changes, file conversion, ripping from a CD…

It’s gotten even better… TWO additional bonuses have been added with a retail value equal to the price of Song Surgeon, and they’re yours FREE…. if you order before midnight on October 30th.

The Bonuses are:

–> 10 backing tracks from popular Classic rock songs.
–> Fretboard training software which includes a massive chord and scale library.

But the truth of the matter is, Song Surgeon’s slow down feature is, by itself, worth the cost of the entire program.

As a teacher, I have often had to figure out songs that my students want to learn by listening to a CD they bring me. After trying Song Surgeon and seeing how simple it is to use, I found that it made my job a lot faster and easier. I also think Song Surgeon is a practical tool that students can use to learn songs and practice along with at home.

The special price ends at midnight October 30th.

Perhaps your thinking this is some Halloween trick… :0) Well I guarantee you its not. On the 31st, Halloween or not, I’ve been told the price for Song Surgeon will be increased and I didn’t want you to miss this opportunity to get it for such a great price!

PLAYING BARRE CHORDS

Barre chords can be one of the most challenging aspects of playing guitar. They require a significant amount of strength when you are first learning how to use them; espcially when playing an acoustic steel-string guitar.

I use to play a 12-string guitar for a band I was in. There was one song where I used all barre chords to play the rhythm. Although the action on the 12-string was great, the neck was a little too fat for my small hand. As a result, I developed RSI (Repetitive Stress Injury) and had to have surgery. It took a long time to rehabilitate my hand, so please don’t make the same mistake I did!

On a lighter note, barre chords can help you move around the fretboard easily. They will also provide more tonal variations to your playing, so, it’s worth the time and effort you’ll put into learning them. You might find that barre chords are easiest to play on an electric guitar to begin with. A nylon stringed, classical guitar might work too, just be aware that it will have a wider neck.
 
There’s a free video you can watch about barre chords on the Guitar In 60 Seconds Blog called “Bar Chords Who NeedsThem Anyway?” I’ve seen the video and think you’ll  get a lot out of it. If you leave a comment about the video on the blog you can even win a free copy of the Guitar in 60 Seconds 2.0 course.  

Till next time…

SLOW DOWN & PLAY FASTER!

Last week I told you about a new program that allows you to slow down a song so that you can learn how to play it faster. But today I want to give you some idea of what this software is and what it does.

Song Surgeon is a tremendous new product that will quickly become one of the most used and important tools in your arsenal of learning products as a musician…. Perhaps even indispensable!!

Song Surgeon has universal applicability across all musical instruments and genres.  In fact, the developer has already received comments back from guitarists, jazz pianists, drummers and fiddle players- all of whom are reaping the benefits of using Song Surgeon.

Here’s the story…

About 3 years ago GuitarLeads.com started selling a guitar lessons course. This course featured real guitar audio at full speed and half speed as well as tablature for the audio.

What they heard repeatedly from customers was that the half speed audio was of great value in helping guitarists learn.

Since 2004 when GuitarLeads first launched this course, they have sold thousands of these courses (in more than 61 countries at last count) and they have received hundreds of testimonials from customers, many of which speak to the value of the the slowed down music and its importance in helping them learn more quickly.

It was this positive feedback from these hundreds of customers that spurred the development of Song Surgeon.

If you have seen the demos or own the guitar lessons found on GuitarLeads then you have seen part of this technology at work. This same technology was incorporated into Song Surgeon to allow you to slow down any song!!

Why is it so important to slow down the music? Because when you slow down the music, it will take less time for you to learn how to play the song. Thus the motto of the story…

SLOW DOWN & PLAY FASTER!

Unless you can hear precisely WHAT is being played and HOW it is being played, your chances of learning to play a song are slim….

But Song Surgeon is much more than a slow down software. It also allows you to:

- Loop music continuously.

- Change the pitch.

- Apply changes in speed and pitch to an entire song or just a piece or segment of a song.

- Rip directly from a CD.

- Use a built-in equalizer and apply these settings to any song or song segment.

- See the wave form of the song or file.

- Change the file formats between, MP3, MP4, wav, WMA’s and more.

For the next week, until October 30 at Midnight, Song Surgeon is available for $47.

That’s a 30% discount over its normal $69 price!

It is also backed by their no hassles, 100% money back guarantee.

Until next time…

LEARNING HOW TO PLAY A SONG ON GUITAR

Learning how to play a song on guitar can be really fun and exciting. You may like a particular chord progression, fingerstyle pattern, or want to learn how to play a great lead guitar lick you’ve heard. Perhaps you just  have a desire to play a song on guitar while you sing along.

Whatever the reason, you’ll need to have a method and some resources to help you learn how to play the song that you’re interested in. One of the most common resources that guitar players use these days is Tab (short for Tablature).

Lots of free Tab files are available on the internet and you can find songs by simply googling the title or typing Guitar Tab into the search box. This should lead you to a site where you can find the words, chords or riff to the song you want to learn. The only draw back is that internet Tab usually doesn’t indicate the rhythm, so you will need to have a CD or an audio file in order to listen to the song.

But even if you do have both Tab and audio, the song may be difficult for you to learn when it’s played at normal speed. In that case, there is another invaluable tool you can use that will make things much faster and easier. It’s called Song Surgeon and it allows you to slow down a song so you can hear not only WHAT is being played, but the nuances of HOW it is played. Needless to say, learning how to play a song on guitar is much easier when you can slow it down.  And Song Surgeon’s slow down feature allows you to figure out the fingering so you can even write out the Tab yourself.

Here is a link to a video which demonstrates the slow down features of  Song Surgeon:
