Multi media REDO
Here, I shall present the forms of media that have shaped my life in one form or another.
^^^^^Here is my guitar tuner that I use to make sure all of my strings are perfectly tuned when im performing so i dont have to spend so much time boring people while i tune by ear :P
^^^^^Here is my little hand held recording device that I use to record little tid-bits of music so that i can put them together into songs. This helps me out IMMENSELY in being able to remember things that im playing when im just jamming and not really paying much attention to song structure.
^^^^Here is my guitar effects pedal that allows me to plug into my amplifier and have all kinds of cool sounds to add to my guitar such as wah-wah (think jimi hendrix), reverb, and delay. This makes guitar playing much more fun.
^^^^^Here is my guitar amplifier that allows me to make my guitar sound REALLY loud, or just reasonably loud enough to play in a coffee shop or small gig. It makes electric guitars sound much better than they do on their own, except acoustics, they sound pretty good on their own.
^^^^^And lastly, here is my iPad that I use to inject the Facebook drug into my veins, amongst other things like email, Amazon, Word processor, Facebook, Facebook, and uhhh....Facebook
These are the main forms of media that are involved in my life. All of the guitar related forms of technology have helped me a lot in being able to shape myself as a musician. I would say that i have used the amplifier, tuner, computer, and effects pedal for music purpouses the longest, the recorder being the newest addition to my musical arsenal. THe computer has allowed me to learn literally EVERY cover song that i have ever learned, using guitar tabs to learn all the notes and put them together into songs...Being a self-taught musician and using the computer as my main source of informational learning, I can definately say that I would be FAR less accomplished musically without the use of the computer.

Amazing what is really possible thanks to technology. What's interesting to me about your post, is thinking about it in relationship to Andrew Sullivan's essay, "Society is Dead." His take is that technology limits us, including the way we use tech to provide our music.
ReplyDeleteYet you show and prove really that it can do just the opposite and allow us to create and thus share music with others.
Well done and YAY I'm glad you got this to post!
