Honeymoons Made in America

Posted on 03 September 2010 by admin

Perhaps before people think of getting out of the country to vacation somewhere else, maybe a little patriotism should be done first and experience a honeymoon vacation within the confines of the United States. It would surprise many that there are many great places in the US of A where you can relax and wouldn’t worry about the locals not comprehending your best imitation of their language or understanding the English language with a whole new different accent. After all, it is only fellow Americans that will also be tending your needs during your honeymoon vacation.

From the east to the west coast, there are loads of vacation spots that can rival that of the famed resorts of in the Tropics and the Caribbean.  

Starting from the west side of the country, the state of California is popularly known for Hollywood, where anybody has a chance to become a star, but this state is also famous for its national parks, beaches, charming coastal towns, and its multi-ethnic and cosmopolitan cities. California is also famous for its beautiful rural landscapes, dotted with snow capped mountain tops and panoramic valleys that are quite dreamy for any honeymooner looking for romance.

California is abundant with bed and breakfast hotels that are perfect for a simple and intimate honeymoon getaways. The state is also known for its wineries and vineyards. Couples can visit these places to taste the best of California wine. As for the urban experience, the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Long Beach, Sand Diego, and a whole lot more can provide any couple with the city life element they want in their honeymoon while on a visit in this great American state.

Sun, sand, and Florida, the east coast is also proud with its own sunny state. It is both the favorite destination of the young as well as the old. Back then, Florida was a sleepy state known for its retirement homes where old people spend their old age under the sun. But it has recently become a fun place to frolic in bikinis and shorts while wandering in the long stretch of white beaches in Miami and enjoying the tropical paradise of the Florida Key islands. Other than its beaches, Florida is also famous for its theme parks which can add up some spice to your honeymoon if your significant other is crazy about theme park rides.

But the most popular place honeymooners go to is the Hawaiian group of islands off the American mainland. It has beaches of unparalleled beauty, good food, landscapes of paradise, and an excellent variety of lodgings. It is perhaps not just a popular tourist destination in America but of the world. People from all parts of the globe visit Hawaii for its famed natural beauty. It is also safe place compared to those of tropical travel spots in countries with political problems.

The sunsets here are perfect for couples who are just beginning their life journey together. It is easily considered as the icing on a cake of Hawaiian style honeymoon. Strolling down the beach as the sun sets with ukulele in the background, it would be easy to forget all the problems that are clamoring in the world.

With all these honeymoon destinations under the sun, you would surely want to revisit these places, but make sure you are coming back with your better half and not with a side dish.

Types of Guitar

Posted on 02 September 2010 by admin

Music is said to be medicine to the soul. There are items that go hand in hand with music to make it even more appealing. Among them is the guitar. A guitar is a stringed instrument which is played through plucking. The most common types of guitars have six strings but there are those that exist which have four, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, thirteen and eighteen strings.

The make of the guitars is also different, depending on the type of sound that it produces. The sound produced is dependent on the size as well as the shape of the guitar. The two major types of guitars that exist are the electric and the acoustic guitars. Under these two categories are other more specific types. One would not be able to completely tell the difference between them unless he plays them and carefully detects the differences in sound and pitch.

The acoustic guitars are made of nylon strings, but they vary from one place to another. One very common type of guitar that falls under this category is the ukulele, which draws its history from the braginho or cavaquinhos of Portugal. The guitar is made in such a way that is has a flat top/face and a rounded hole from which the sound is produced. While this is the general make of the guitars that fall under the acoustic guitar category, others have different shapes and the sizes of the sound hole also differ.

The electric guitars are mostly used for rock music, but they are also used for other types of music like jazz, blues and pop. The guitars require an amplifier for them to have the desired effect, unlike the acoustic guitars. They have hollow bodies and the sound effect is very clearly different from that produced by the acoustic guitars. The shape of the electric guitar is such that, it is easy to play the instrument as they are very slim and they produce a variety of tones. The two common types of guitars that fall under this category are the Fender Stratocaster and the Gibson Les Paul.

Henehene Kou `Aka – Basic Tutorial

Posted on 02 September 2010 by admin


I had the privilege of sitting in and playing a few tunes with my good friend Kirby Keough while visiting Kauai a couple of weeks ago. One of the songs we always jam on is Henehene Kou `Aka. Ive been meaning to either do a tab or tutorial for this one for quite some time but just never seemed to get around to it. Tonight Im posting up a video tutorial that presents my approach to the intro and verse sections of Henehene based loosely on the version IZ plays on his Facing Future CD. This video isnt as detailed as some of my previous tutorials and it still went beyond the 10 minute limit imposed by Youtube. I was hoping to be able to get it all on just one video but it didnt work out that way. I will present the solo in another video in the next few days. Though not as detailed, I believe this tutorial will give you a good idea of how Im approaching the tune and have you well armed to play it with your friends at the next club meeting or jam session.

Taylor Takes Over the Music Charts

Posted on 01 September 2010 by admin

You may have heard all the buzz about this talented, beautiful woman, Taylor Swift. She is an amazing artist that has won many awards this year and continues to produce chart topping hit songs. She has been on numerous magazine covers, television shows, and performed during music award shows. At only 20 years old she has taken over the music industry and has been a proven success not only in that industry but she can also write her own songs and act. She is a country pop artist and is accepted, admired, and appreciated by both country and pop music fans. Billboard magazine deemed her the respected title as artist of the year.

Taylor was born in 1989 and grew up in Pennsylvania. At an early age she showed an interest in writing poems and songs, performing comedy acts, and singing country music. Like a lot of other musicians, her talent may have been inherited by her grandmother who was a professional opera singer. However, instead of singing opera, she would sing country music accompanied by karaoke backgrounds. She also plays instruments such as a regular guitar and a 12 string, ukulele, and the piano.

In 2006, she released her first professional single that was played on every <a title=”internet radio” rel=”nofollow” onclick=”javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackPageview', '/outgoing/article_exit_link']);” href=”http://www.977music.com/”>Internet Radio</a> and traditional radio station. Her hit song called, “Tim McGraw,” topped the country music charts at position six. The song was written about her and her high school boyfriend, and the memories they shared together. It was a great start to her professional singing career under the recording label Big Machine Records.

After the success of her single, she released a self titled album that successfully went platinum, which means she sold more than 1,000,000 albums worldwide. The release of her second album, called “Fearless,” solidified her career as a success in the industry. This album stayed on the top of the music charts for 11 weeks, which is unheard of. “Fearless” included chart topping singles such as “White Horse” and “Love Story.”

Because of the success of the album, she was nominated for eight Grammy awards and won five American Music Awards. At the American Music Awards, she won the most coveted award as Artist of the Year.

Not only is she a great singer, but she is also an amazing actress. She has made cameos in other artists’ movies such as Jonas Brothers: The 3D Concert Experience and Hannah Montana: The Movie. In addition to having cameos in movies, she also hosted Saturday Night Live and performed some of her hit songs live on the show. She also appeared in an episode of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. She is taking on the big screen next year in the movie Valentine’s Day.

Taylor Swift can sing, write songs, play music instruments, and act. Is there anything that this amazing artist can’t do?
