Learning The Guitar Online

From absolute beginners to seasoned players, the internet has opened up a whole new media for those who wish to play the guitar. Many people today are utilizing the easy availability of online sites in order to learn to play the guitar.

The media of the streaming video has allowed people to learn from the comfort of their own front room, at any time of the day or night, whenever they like. Not only that, but it has blossomed into a huge industry - there are a massive amount of sites that you can visit that promise to teach you a very high standard of guitar tutorials. In this article, we will explore some of the advantages of the online tutorial, and some of the things that they can offer you if you are considering learning to play the guitar.

1) Its convenient

You really can learn wherever and whenever you want. Just as more and more everyday experiences are becoming more and more convenient (such as grocery shopping, for example), and learning the guitar is no different. We are lucky to live in such a time when the easy availability of goods and services is part of our social make-up.

Now you can learn for a few minutes at a time if you so wish, and even fit learning to play the guitar around other activities. Traditionally, guitar students would commute to an instructor's studio - taking into account the journey time and travel inconvenience it usually meant putting an evening or an afternoon aside for a lesson.

2) You get to choose your instructor

Instead of just taking lessons from someone who is closest to your home or more convenient for you to get to, this way you can take a look at their biographies, sample lessons and other relevant details. This is a huge advantage, as you will be learning from someone who best fits your particular needs. With the majority of online tutorial sites, you can select from a variety of instructors.

Taking lessons from two or three instructors will give you a good sense of balance and you may even learn better doing it this way - don't have to stick to just one instructor. Some of them are more hands on, whilst others favor a more visual approach, it's worth trying out different instructors to find one that best suits your learning style.

3) Flexibility

Rather than in a one-to-one situation where you often find that you can only learn what the instructor wants to teach you, you have the flexibility to choose what you learn. With an online program, you get to learn what you want to learn.

4) Affordability

The whole business premise of the online tutorial is that they can provide more lessons for less money. In order to learn to play the guitar, a lot of people don't want to spend a whole lot of money. The math is relatively simple: if 100 members of a particular site pay $10 each, then the site generates $1000. This revenue can then be used to film and produce even more lessons.

For a one-on-one instructor, you will realistically be expecting to pay something in the region of $40 per half hour lesson. Therefore, the value of the online tutorial becomes clear - you can get full membership to a lot of the sites for the same price (around $40), which will give you an almost endless amount of lessons.

The only significant downfall when it comes to online learning, is that there is no-one there to ask a question to when you get stuck. It can seem a little frustrating at times when you come across something that you don't understand. This, however, is a pretty small disadvantage when you consider all the benefits of learning to play the guitar online.

Arisan BrondongFilm Hit Minggu Ini

Film Arisan Brondong kembali menjadi salah satu film yang paling dicari di dunia maya ini. Mungkin nantinya ketenaran film ini akan menggantikan film hit sebelumnya seperti Air Terjun pengantin, suster keramsa, dan hantu puncak datang bulan yang masih malang melintang di dunia maya ini.

Karena film Arisan Brondong, Anita Hara jadi tahu rupa-rupa lelaki brondong alias gigolo.

Pasalnya, Anita mengaku ikut menseleksi ukuran bagian vital para brondong yang akan terlibat di film komedi ini. Wanita yang dikenal sebagai presenter ini mendapatkan pengalaman berbeda ketika melihat ukuran yang berbeda bagi tiap lelaki.

“Dalam satu hari aku melihat 20-40 an lelaki brondong yang hanya memakai celana dalam. Ada yang gemetar karena aneh ketika casting harus buka celana. Jadi aku bisa melihat berbagai ukuran,” kata Anita tertawa.

Film Arisan Brondong sendiri mengisahkan film tentang kehidupan gigolo yang dibudak oleh tante-tante girang.

Untungnya hanya sebatas melihat, gadis cantik ini mengaku tidak tertarik dengan brondong yang saat ini sedang trend dan menjadi fenomena di kalangan jetset di Jakarta. “Masa kita ngemong anak kecil sih.. nggak lah,” kata Anita yang mengaku telah memiliki kekasih ini.

Lebih lanjut gadis ini mengatakan kalau dia sering mendengar soal brondong ini. “Aku aslinya lugu lho, nggak ngerti soal beginian. Pernah mendengar aja tapi karakternya beda dengan diri aku sendiri,” ucapnya.

Bagi Anita film ini adalah film ketiganya dan semuanya berbau komedi. “Aku senang terlibat di sini karena aku menjadi tante penyuka brondong,” kata bintang film Maling Kutang

Convienient Financing Options For Your Next Car Purchase

Not many people have sufficient on-hand resources to pay cash for a new/used car purchase. Most people HAVE to finance at least a major portion (about 80%) of any such acquisition. Most people just assume that financing through the car dealership is the simplest, easiest and most convenient way to go—and most people pay more than they need to because of that assumption!

Car dealerships rarely provide direct financing; i.e., they “partner” with a lending institution which provides funding to “qualified” buyers who apply for loans at car dealership offices. The lending institution accepts all the involved risk, while in most cases the dealerships accept a flat fee commission, a percentage of the total loan, and/or a bonus for each loan placement from their lending “partner.” This cost is paid for by the buyer through a higher loan rate. It might be simpler and easier to file for a loan at the car dealership, but please don’t assume that it doesn’t cost you for that convenience. In a small number of case, like at ThatsMyNewCar.com, financing is provided, however the dealer does not receive any fee, percentage or bonus for placing the loan. The service is provided to make the car buying experience better and more convenient for the customer.

Banks and credit unions offer direct financing to car buyers, usually at rates better than those they can offer through any “partner” car dealerships—this is because they have no fees to pay for a middleman. Deal directly with a lending institution and you can save money on your new/used car purchase. If you have a savings/checking account with a bank or credit union, they are much more likely to provide you with a car loan than any lending institution for which you are not already a customer, and you’re more likely to get a better rate or more convenient terms (or both) from them too. Most even offer lower rates if you agree to have payments automatically deducted from your account—no checks to write, no envelopes to address, and no stamps to send them in. Now that is a convenience which not only doesn’t cost you anything, it usually saves both time and money!

Try to have your financing issues addressed before you even go to a car dealership. Banks and credit unions will help you determine how much you can afford to pay, which should provide more confidence and less anxiety for when you actually go to a dealership. With loan approval issues already addressed before you set foot on a lot, if you see one that just screams “That’s My New Car” to you, you’ll be in a position to close the deal right then and there, and to drive it home without further delay. Now that could be a convenience derived from adequate preparation and forethought!

HT Mobile Masih Andalkan Qwerty

Ht Mobile g32 - Meski diprediksi tren ponsel qwerty bakal surut di pengujung 2010, sejumlah vendor lokal seperti HT Mobile masih optimistis bisa menjual ponsel terbarunya G19 hingga 100.000 unit.

Brand Manager PT Sinar Jaya Sukses Mandiri vendor HT Mobile, Ridwan Zalie mengatakan, pihaknya masih fokus ponsel model qwerty karena permintaan masih bagus. Dibandingkan model konvensional candy bar, permintaannya 50 persen lebih tinggi setahun terakhir.

“Di kuartal I kita masih akan mengeluarkan 6-10 tipe lagi,” kata Ridwan, di sela pameran HT Mobile di Lapangan Kodam V Brawijaya, Sabtu (6/2).

Bahkan, sejak kehadiran HT Mobile pada Maret 2009, pihaknya berhasil menjual sedikitnya 1 juta unit didominasi qwerty. Di antara 18 seri yang diluncurkan, delapan seri berlayar qwerty di antaranya G19, G30, G31, G32 dan G75.

Untuk tipe G19, ia tidak menarget penjualan terlalu tinggi, mengingat lifecycle ponsel cukup pendek. G19 ini dijual bundling dengan IM3, harganya Rp 599.000 dengan spesifikasi track-pad, dual SIM, dual kamera, dan online.

“Kita masih bidik segmen low-end dengan harga bersaing. Kita tahu vendor ponsel lokal sedang perang harga,” ujar Ridwan.

Ia tidak mengeluarkan produk high-end karena pasar dikuasai merek internasional. name
