The company Dean Guitars is known for their production of superior quality musical instruments but when they started to manufacture electric guitars, they became renowned. Started in the year of 1977, Dean Guitars was created by Luther Dean Zelinsky. At a very young age, Zelinsky, started to make and craft guitars. He has a very wide thought on his passion. He thought that designs of rock guitars were already declining and poor style. So with this in mind, he pursued his idea of creating a whole new design concept of rock guitars. The first ones that have been produced were in 1970's. These were types of guitars that had pointed bodies and headstocks. First attempts of production boomed because of their rage-looking look.

The model Razorback 7 is also just like the original model except that it has 7 strings (B E A D G B E). Another distinct trademark of Razorback model is the double edged razor that is found on the 12th fret by its neck. Zakk Wylde, the guitarist of Black Label Society and Ozzy Osbourne were the prominent Razorback players of our times. On the 19th of January 2008, Dean Guitars released the three designs. The first one was as a tribute for the song "Cemetery Gates" of Pantera. The lyrics were being written across the body of the guitar. The second design was the 10,000th Commemorative Razorback to commemorate the first ten thousand models of Razorbacks that have been sold with a diamond-plated design. The third design is similar to the model Razorback Explosion except that it is the left-handed version.

Dean Razorback - Electric Guitar With Raging Style

The Dean Razorback guitar is a variant of the Dean ML. When the year 2007 began an additional production of three more designs of the Razorback model were designed. The model Razorback DB is of a lower quality. DB was intentionally made for those who cannot afford the original high price of a USA Razorback but still want to have the design by their guitar. The model Razorback 255 is just like the original except for the length of its neck having 25.5 scale which can comprise of 24 frets and the guitarist of this can even reach the higher notes.

Electric Guitar Technology 101

Another intriguing development is in the area of computer-guitar interface. This has been long time coming, and if you consider the explosion in the popularity of digital recording with Pro Tools and similar software, its surprising it took as long as it did. Far and away, the leader in this field is Line 6s Variax model. Now, I will be the first person to admit that I know just enough about computer technology to be dangerous, but Ill try to tell you what I know from what Ive read and from friends and acquaintances who have played the Variax. I should also state that I am in no way affiliated with Line 6 or any of their subsidiaries or partners. The Variax is, according to the Line 6 brochure a digital modeling guitar that allows the musician to switch between a huge array of potential sounds on one instrument. The sounds of a 12-string acoustic, Fender Stratocaster style single coils, Les Paul humbuckers, banjo, chimes and dozens of others are all available at the flick of a switch. The best part about it is that all of these tonal variations are available completely hum free. For the working musician, this means not having to lug around five to seven separate guitars to provide him with the all of the sounds he requires. The true test, however, is hearing one of these fine instruments in action, so if youd like to check one out, a list of authorized dealers is available from the Line 6 website. At an MSRP of around $1000 for the mid-line Variax 600 its also available in the 300 and 700 its not cheap, but for the professional or amateur with money to burn, it may be a worthwhile investment.

In the last couple of years a few innovations have come along that have totally turned conventional wisdom or at least conventional guitar electronics on its head. The first is the nylon string solid body electric guitar. I first saw one of these in the hands of metal ace Yngwie Malmsteen and was blown away by the sound. For any artist who is trying to incorporate elements of classical guitar in his or her repertoire, this instrument provides the mellow classical tone of a nylon stringed guitar with the comfortable feel and action of a traditional solid body axe. This has been made possible through the tremendous advances made in recent years in the field of Piezo pickup technology. Without going into too much technical detail, the Piezo differs from a traditional magnetic pickup in that the Piezo element vibrates with the string, sending an electrical signal of that vibration to a preamp within the guitar for processing, rather than capturing an electromagnetic representation of that vibration which can then be sent directly to an amplifier, or to an onboard preamp if further shaping of the signal is desired. The Piezo eliminates the need for steel strings, which would otherwise interact with the magnetic pickup, and also produces more satisfactory results for players with a lighter fingerstyle technique. Lest you think this is just another passing fancy, Parker has produced a nylon string version of their famous Fly model and another up-and-comer, Sadowski Guitars, is producing a Telecaster style model employing the same technology.

It is a curious paradox of the music industry: guitarists, particularly rock guitarists, are often thought of as trendsetters when it comes to fashion and culture; but when it comes to their instruments, they are notoriously conservative. Innovations such as active electronics, guitar synthesizers and Steinbergers intrepid steps into the field of headless instruments in the 80s have failed to make much of a dent in the market. Gibson and Fender continue to dominate the electric guitar market much as they did in the 1950s and 60s. Even with the entry of new competitors into the market over the years such as Ibanez, Paul Reed Smith and Charvel/Jackson, the electric guitar has remained essentially unchanged with one to three magnetic pickups and a mess of wires connecting them to the controls. But things may be about to change!

There is no need to pay for guitar music in tab notation. Most of this is available widely on the net for free. Just search online and you'll find lots of tablature music that can keep you busy for a long time. Sure, there are tab notations available for a price and in book format but these are over priced and most likely you can get the same music for free. I advise you print out the tab music and you are good!

Learning Guitar Tabs - Learn How To Play The Guitar

Not all guitar tabs are made the same. Because there are different types of guitar styles and guitars such as ones with more strings or less, the way they are formatted can vary. Overall, nevertheless, the purpose of these tab notations is to have an easy way to read notes and chords through letterings and such instead of the music notation on staff sheets.

When it comes to playing the guitar, learning how to play guitar tabs is really very important. It is a foundational knowledge needed for beginners trying to learn some songs. Tabs typically are formatted so that they come with the music and the lyrics as well. Some of these tab notations also have other parts of the song in it as well.

BOOKS, VIDEOS OR DVD's

May pick up bad habits that could lead to long term injury or limitations to your playing.

1. Check that the guitar sits comfortably on you. There are many styles of guitar and not all of them will give you the best chance of learning. Take the Flying V style for example, a guitar literally shaped like the letter V. You may have always dreamed of owning a guitar like this and there is no reason why you shouldn't, just don't learn to play on one initially. The reason for this is that they don't sit on your knee very well and you will spend more time wrestling with it rather than playing it. Sit your new guitar on your knee, if it stays there with the minimum of effort, you are on to a winner.

You can find amazing resources on the internet but some information is wildly wrong causing you to learn the mistakes of a self confessed expert who may have been playing less time than yourself.

GUITAR TUTOR

I hope you succeed with your new venture, if you need any advice you can contact me through my website.

I have sat in lessons with guitar teachers in the past who have completely ignored my musical tastes and even ridiculed them. If you find yourself in front of one of these, fire the tutor immediately, they will only discourage you.

Are they qualified, experienced or enthusiastic enough to help you.

2. For the younger guys reading this, the next step is to check that you can reach the first fret comfortably without over stretching. If you can't, you need to swap the guitar for a smaller scale. These guitars are readily available from music stores and are referred to as either 1/2 size or 3/4 size. They tune the same so you can still learn your favourite tunes and then upsize as you get bigger.

They show you what to do, but don't tell you if you are doing it right.

4. Make sure the guitar is in tune. It always shocks me when a student comes to a Stringstocks Guitar School for their 4th or 5th lesson and the guitar is wildly out of tune. If you practice out of tune, you'll find it hard to realise when the guitar is in tune. You can buy a digital guitar tuner that is pretty easy to use from almost any musical instrument store.

So you've got a guitar for Christmas. You've always dreamed of being able to play but never got round to it. Well now you have an instrument, you'll probably want to learn to play it.
The early stages of your guitar playing experience will either make or break you. This is going to be a challenge regardless of any natural talent you may have. I am going to suggest a few things that will make a difference and will give you the best chance of succeeding.
The first thing you need to do is check out the guitar you were bought. Obviously, it is going to feel difficult to play at first but there are things that you should look at to see if the instrument is not going to hinder your learning.

3. The next thing to check is the action. The action of a guitar is a term used to describe the space between the strings and the frets (the metal bars on the fingerboard). This space can be altered on good quality guitars and the preferred distance changes between experienced guitarists making it a personal choice. However, If the strings are so high that you could pass a cigarette lighter through it, or so low that you couldn't pass a piece of paper through it, you could be in trouble. Take the guitar to a well respected guitar shop or repairer for them to adjust it for you.

I believe that if you have the 4 points above checked then you are ready to start learning productively. There are many routes to learning to play the guitar. You can teach yourself, get a tutor, learn from books, videos, DVD's or even the internet. Which is the best one? Try and think about how you learn. Do you like to explore things for yourself? Do you like to have someone take you through the process step by step? Do you like to study books? Or do you like to be visually entertained whilst learning? Your answer may point you to one of the options I have mentioned. However, there are pitfalls to each method which I will briefly highlight.

The reason why your guitar tutor should feel like your best friend is that he should be enthusiastic about the same type of music as you. Best friends usually click with each other through similiar interests. This makes learning fun for you and teaching rewarding for your tutor.
