Many guitarists have found it necessary to take a few weeks off guitar playing or in some more extreme cases several months or years. Some people think that they are immune from getting various arm, wrist and tendon related injuries because they have been playing for years with no problems - this tends not to be the case when guitarists start to concentrate their efforts on playing long periods of time on guitar for example 5 to 9 hours to increase speed or ability in heavy legato and bending. </p> <a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" name="Avoiding_Injury"></a><h2 style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <span class="mw-headline"> Avoiding Injury </span></h2> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Guitar players should always warm up their hands and arms with slower guitar pieces or exercises before diving straight into the more advanced, fast and complicated material, this will give the muscles a period of time to stretch and get used to the motions of playing. Playing guitar is a bit like playing a sport - if caution is not exercised in warming up muscles before taking part in a given activity then serious injury can occur. It is unwise to avoid warming up due to laziness as skipping several minutes warm-up can mean several months of guitar inactivity due to straining. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Guitar straps should always be at a comfortable level usually this is based above the waist area on the chest, playing guitar at a decent height means arms are not subjected to stretching epic lengths to access lower frets - less effort is required to be put in by the arm and therefore injury is less unlikely to happen. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Another great way to avoid injuries is to exercise regularly. There is almost always some static tension in your arms and back when you play guitar, and a great way to minimize the risk of getting hurt is to do some moderate work out a few times each week. You don't have to do a lot, but some regular exercise makes you less vulnerable to tension related injuries. </p> <a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" name="Injuries_Associated_With_Guitar_Playing"></a><h2 style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <span class="mw-headline"> Injuries Associated With Guitar Playing </span></h2> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The key worry for many Guitar players is acquiring RSI or Repetitive Strain Injury - this is similar to a burning sensation that can irritate the wrist or tendons in the hand, this is generally cause by not warming up in conjunction with playing guitar at a bad angle due to low strap height or not sitting the guitar properly on the knee. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Another injury guitar players are susceptible to is Tendonitis - this is very similar to RSI but is more localised in the Tendons or blood passages to the hand, generally caused by hard bending this causes irritation near where the fingers meet the hand. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is another injury many guitar players have acquired over the years, again it is a type of strain but it is usually located around the wrist area, where the central blood passage begins to separate out to the five fingers of the hand, such strains are again caused by playing the guitar too low or at an uncomfortable level. </p> <a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" name="Treatment_for_Guitar_Related_Injuries"></a><h2 style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> <span class="mw-headline"> Treatment for Guitar Related Injuries </span></h2> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;">The best advice is always to seek the help of a medical professional who specialises in strains or arm injuries, failing this option being available members of GMC have also found helpful the use of: </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>1.</b> Muscle Gel or Deep Heat - use of these two products generally relaxes muscles and places less strain on the arms, relieving tension on the injury and therefore helping it to heal faster. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>2.</b> Vitamin Tablets and Cod Liver Oil help provide the right vitamins etc to soothe the joints, more specifically for tendon and muscle injury Glucosamine + Chondroitin are good for building blocks of connective muscle tissue around the joints, tendons and ligaments. </p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>3.</b> Rest! There is no better way to heal an injury than by stopping the use of physical activity by the arm or hand with the problem. Rest stops straining and starts the rebuilding of damaged tissues and as such is probably the single most necessary factor for ending a period of injury. </p><p><br /></p>Manuel "Iman" Gestapohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11738996338279157885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914745263533241833.post-44457993421557999222010-04-16T03:06:00.005+07:002010-04-16T03:44:39.338+07:00SEYMOUR DUNCAN STOMP BOX SFX-04 TWIN TUBE MAYHEM<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S8d3cIvQroI/AAAAAAAAAMo/hY6uzROgaeo/s1600/SFX-04.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 397px; height: 198px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S8d3cIvQroI/AAAAAAAAAMo/hY6uzROgaeo/s320/SFX-04.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460464398475767426" border="0" /></a><br /><p face="trebuchet ms"><b>Boost your guitar sound's with this booster, well, pretty fantastic when I tried with my LTD Viper w/ EMG 81-85, LTD Eclipse Custom with single SD AHB-2, Mesa Boogie Triple Rectifier, got Stacked with different noise...wow, fucking amazing yo...this preamp so real cool...totally awesome<br /></b></p><p face="trebuchet ms"><b><br /></b></p><p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>APPLICATION</b><br />High-quality guitar preamp with built in boost.

Perfect for all styles of metal, punk, garage, thrash, drop tunings, and heavy rock.</p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">DESCRIPTION</span><br />Blackouts Metal pickups are voiced for extreme heaviness. They are our highest output electric guitar pickups. Period. They have a screaming voice with amazing mid-range punch and they produce thick, dark chords, and hard-hitting leads. When you play extreme aggressive styles and you have to cut through above the other instruments in your band, Blackouts Metal are the call.</p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">COMPLETE</span><br />There’s only one version of Blackouts Metal, but you can dial up two very different output levels (see below). Paired with our SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem, Blackouts Metal pickups in high-output mode are so extreme, so brutal, and so vicious, you might want to check with local law enforcement to make sure they’re legal. Not really. But you get the idea.</p> <p style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"><b>AVAILABLE MODS</b><br />Use Blackouts Metal pickups in any humbucker-routed electric guitar.

With the same aggressive tonality in each mode, you now have a choice in output. With the jumper removed, you have a high output bridge humbucker that’s still compatible with a neck pickup or the clean channel on your amp. However, with the jumper in place, you unleash all the raw power, incredible output, and untamed aggression. The pins can also be wired to a mini-switch or push/pull, for an on board boost!

Harmony, in essence as we perceive it in music, is a balance of one or more notes within the given musical environment. As we think of this balance in terms of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musicality" target="_blank">musicality</a>, we often overlook the need for balance in the physicality of playing. Without this awareness we open ourselves up for the dissonance to overthrow the balance of harmony and cause physical discomforts.</p> <p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>“The best prevention is to stretch the hands and fingers before and after practicing or performing”</strong></em></p> <p>The most common physical threat to guitarists is RSI or <a href="http://www.safecomputingtips.com/repetitive-strain-injury.html" target="_blank">Repetitive Strain Injury</a>. There are many types of RSI (many commonly referred to as Carpel Tunnel, Tennis Elbow, or even Tendinitis) and the name says it all. Repeating particular scales or chords, especially ones that require some fancy finger-work, cause the muscles to overwork in one direction leaving the opposite muscles weak which in turn creates the imbalance which eventually leads to swelling, achiness, and arthritic pain. RSI is much like spraining a wrist or ankle, but in the case of guitarists the discomfort is usually experienced in either one of the first 3 fingers and or the palm near the thumb. Ignoring the early onset of RSI can cause some long-term difficulties, so it’s best to “nip that sucka in the bud” as soon as you feel it, or better yet start implementing some preventative measures now.</p> <p>The best prevention is to stretch the hands and fingers before and after practicing or performing. There are several great <a href="http://www.acguitar.com/issues/ag93/handinjury.shtml" target="_blank">resources for guitarists</a> in regards to hand stretches but I will suggest one that is crucial. As I mention RSI is caused by over-straining the muscles in one direction, so by adding resistance and working the muscles the other way, we can correct this. So we fret pushing our fingers inward towards the neck so to work the opposite muscle group, place a rubber band over your fingertips and thumb (holding them all straight and touching the fingertips together) simply open and close the hand. The resistance of the rubber-band will help build the muscles that will balance out your fret hand (do this for your picking hand as well).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S8YjQgOafdI/AAAAAAAAALg/KT8THEa28ow/s1600/SMG_Guitar_Fingers.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S8YjQgOafdI/AAAAAAAAALg/KT8THEa28ow/s400/SMG_Guitar_Fingers.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5460090364668575186" border="0" /></a></p> <p><br /></p><p>If you’re already feeling the pain of RSI then take a few days off from practicing, try to keep the fingers out straight and maybe even use an icepack (or a bag of frozen french fries from your freezer). There are many healthy ways to approach the healing process as well. Keep the joints hydrated by drinking lots of water. Supply the muscles, bones, and joints with all the nutrients they need to be strong. As a longtime student of the healing arts and dabbling herbalist I would recommend taking a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucosamine" target="_blank">Glucosamine</a> which will greatly help you heal fast and stay healthy. There are also many holistic herbs (ie: Devil’s Claw, Black Cohosh, Valerian Root, etc.) that can aide with the swelling and pain. But again, and most importantly be sure to practice proper stretching and exercise.</p> <p>So practice with care and always play it safe. After all, your music is in your hands!</p>Manuel "Iman" Gestapohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11738996338279157885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914745263533241833.post-57700374661254586652010-03-19T17:34:00.012+07:002010-03-19T21:35:21.081+07:00MESA/BOOGIE, Recent History<span style="font-size:100%;"><a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S6OFGgbO9CI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Ckpw-3PmZ-Y/s1600-h/a0826s.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 371px; height: 400px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rU8t-_O0cwo/S6OFGgbO9CI/AAAAAAAAAFM/Ckpw-3PmZ-Y/s400/a0826s.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450346320878302242" border="0" /></a><br /><span style=";font-family:verdana;font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">MESA/BOOGIE, Recent History<br /></span></span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Well this review will approaching you guys about one of my fave amps that i used it, I'm pretty stuck up with this amps...Rectifying my sound what a nice collaboration with my active ESP/LTD/Washburn guitar plus Ibanez TS808, NS2 and another Reverb that will give a strong sound, hard noise from bass gain and boosting tha tube...<br /><br /></span><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">MESA / BOOGIE, Introduced in 1970, the Boogies proved to be absolute giant killers (in</span><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"> more ways than one) and began to re-define forever what a guitar amp could be and do. A small company working closely with leading players and fiercely dedicated to innovation and quality made a successful end-run around the sleeping giants of the industry</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Mr. Randall Smith, the creator of Mesa/Boogie, began his career at Prune Music, a Chinese grocery store turned music shop. Working as a repair tech while his business partner and friend, David Kessner, ran the front, Smith quickly gained a reputation with the local San Francisco Bay Area musicians. This reputation brought him business from bands including the Grateful Dead, Big Brother and the Holding Company, and Carlos Santana.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In 1969, Smith, as a joke, modified Barry Melton's Fender Princeton amplifier. He removed the standard 10 inch speaker and modified the chassis to fit the larger transformers that were needed by the 4-10 tweed Fender Bassman, the circuit that he had added into the tiny 12 watt Princeton. Finally, Mounting a 12 inch JBL D-120, a popular speaker of the time, Smith had created what would be the first Boogie.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">Randall Smith, needing to test his creation, took the "hot-rodded" Princeton into the front store, where Carlos Santana was present. Santana "wailed through that little amp until people were blocking the sidewalk". Impressed, Santana exclaimed to Smith, "Man, that little thing really boogies!" It was this statement that brought the Boogie name to fruition.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The MESA name came about through Smith's other job, rebuilding Mercedes engines and repairing houses. He needed an 'official' sounding name through which to buy Mercedes parts and building supplies, and chose MESA Engineering. It was originally spelled with all capital letters but has been written as Mesa in recent years.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">In 1971, Bassist Patrick Burke approached Randall with a proposal for a custom Bass amp. Smith was persuaded and constructed the Snakeskin Mesa 450 - Smith's first bass amplifier and the first official Mesa/Boogie product.</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;">The real breakthrough came when Smith began building a preamp project for Lee Michaels to drive his new Crown DC-300 power amplifiers. Not knowing what signal was required to drive the power amps, Smith added an extra tube gain stage to the preamp, with 3 variable gain controls at different points in the circuit. In adding this extra gain stage, Smith had created the first high gain amplifier. He set about designing a guitar amplifier around the new principle, and in 1972 the Mark I was released.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />He produced a number of custom variations on the Mark I through the late 1970s, with options including reverb, EQ, various speakers (most often Altec or ElectroVoice), koa wood jointed cabinets, and wicker grill. The Mark II was released in 1978.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />In the 1980s, Mesa continued to produce combo and head amplifiers, and began production of rack power and pre-amps, developing power amplifiers such as the M180/190 and Strategy series, as well as pre-amps such as the Quad and Studio. Other models developed in the 1980s included the Mark III, the Son of Boogie, and the Studio. In the '90s, Mesa launched the smaller Dual Caliber series and the more powerful Rectifier series. Production of new models has continued into the 2000s, with models such as the Road King II, the Lone Star and Lone Star Special, and the Stiletto and Express lines.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"><br />Well, above all else, any MESA/Boogie you purchase will be an investment of lasting value. Ask yourself how much you've spent on lesser amplifiers? How much did you lose in performance, and musical satisfaction? How much did you lose when selling or trading in? With MESA/Boogie you get more than just our fanatical devotion to performance and quality, You get Us, our resources and our 25 years of expertise. No one else stands behind their products like we do, guaranteeing lasting satisfaction and seeing that each customer is treated as we ourselves would like to be.

DYS formed around singer Dave Smalley, a Washington DC native attending school in Boston, and bassist Jon Anastas, previously of Decadence (see the This Is Boston Not L.A. comp). The band released a classic 12" in 1983 on SSD's XClaim label and played shows in Boston and elsewhere on the East Coast.<br /><br />After a few years, DYS traded hardcore for hard rock, and added a fifth guitarist (Ross Luongo from Impact Unit) in order to be able to play complex metal riffs and solos. 1984's self-titled LP attracted major label interest, but this attention eventually brought about the demise of the band. Afterwards, Anastas played bass in Slapshot for a while, and Smalley sang for ALL and the seminal DC band Dag Nasty, before starting Down By Law.<br /><br /></div><div class="photo photo_none"><div class="photo_img"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=831013&op=1&view=all&subj=210901386194&aid=-1&auser=0&oid=210901386194&id=1016707449"><img style="width: 404px; height: 527px;" src="http://photos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs104.snc3/15150_1262502515463_1016707449_831013_126135_n.jpg" class=" " onload="var img = this; onloadRegister(function() { adjustImage(img); });" /></a></div></div><div class="clear_none"><br /><br />And one of my fave's song from them is<br /><br />MORE THAN FASHION, it was lecturing me a lot...and made me aware of it, read the lyrics below ;<br /><br />MORE THAN FASHION [DYS]<br /><br />More than X's on my hand<br />More than being in a straightedge band<br />I see no good in my mind getting fucked<br />A needless vacuum, I won't be sucked<br />Straight Mind<br />Razor Edge<br />Firm footing on a social ledge<br />"A party's no fun if there's no brew"<br />I can only feel sorry for you<br />'Cause I've had a blast all my life<br />Never needed any puke-filled strife<br />Straight Mind<br />Razor Edge<br />Firm footing on a social ledge<br />It's a way of life that says I don't need<br />Hangovers, freak-outs or expensive weed<br />Rather buy a record any day<br />My mind is here, not far away<br />Straight Mind<br />Razor Edge<br />Firm footing on a social ledge<br />Hangovers, freak outs or<br />Expensive weed<br />Rather buy a records any day<br />My mind is here, not far away<br />Straight Mind<br />Razor Edge<br />Firm footing on a social ledge<br /><br />Some day I will cover this song with my band with featuring 3 vocalists from Jakarta SxE bands...you'll see...and full part of sing a long, and put in my record<br /><br />(Iman Firmansyah Sihombing Hutasoit, BSc, MD)<br />VICTORIOUS<br /></div></div>Manuel "Iman" Gestapohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11738996338279157885noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5914745263533241833.post-68322644629900003152010-03-12T22:28:00.000+07:002010-03-12T22:32:20.400+07:00WHEN THE FIRST TIME HARDCORE PUNK AFFECTED MY LIFE (My brief testimonial*)<div style="font-family: verdana;">This story began in one day, around the year 1993's,<br />When I was first grade in the Junior High School<br />If not mistaken, It happened around Idul Fitri day,<br />when my family usually celebrates at grandma's house<br />for having family gathering for celebrate it<br /><br />Then my older cousin called Hervi (OLD GHETTO PUNK ROCK ADDICT),<br />He brought a cassette copy, and try listened it to me. He said "bro...it's fuckin awesome"<br /><br />In the first moment, when I saw on the cover image is only 4 bars irregular,<br />and i listened with carefully...and "gees man outstanding"<br /><br />After that day It was resonated in my brain, was blaring so hard, and it was coming back just the word of "punk" and "rise above".<br />I have no idea in that moment, until when about a few months, I unpacked the late recording vinyl from my late father collections<br />I saw 2 pieces of vinyl, and inscribed with ; BLACK FLAG & MINOR THREAT.<br />Than when I listened on it ... and I said ..." wow, damn, it really awesome"<br />even when the recording quality is still very rave...but in that moment, was so hard hitting on me<br /><br />Then ... when I met again on the other day with Hervi...<br /><br />He mentioned that it was not just a punk<br />but HARDCORE PUNK ... and then I began to understand and try to find out more<br /><br />I didn't know why I'm so interested within, even though my mom always angry and always shouting on me, she said, "Iman, Turn it off...be quiet...what a cranky noisy, for god sake!!!!#@#@#@"<br /><br />But I do not know for sure,It was so ingrained on me<br /><br />Then, I started to find my identity, "Who am I? and Why hardcore punk?"<br />But I found many logic reason during that time, and made me stronger and stronger in every further day<br />and I tried to make a band, and I was trying different musical streams and listening to another music<br /><br />But I do not know ... I have already made my choice until the rest of my life<br />Until this day it flowed naturally<br /><br />Even, one of friends of mine, she asked:<br /><br />"Man, Why Hardcore Punk can affected your life, until you were saying if there is no HARDCORE, perhaps I can not be a doctor like nowadays, and afford it more"<br /><br />And I can not say anything...so speechless<br /><br />But may be it expressed enthusiasm, the lyrics of resistance, brotherhood and be realistic in our life, are the answers<br /><br />And it became one of greatest principles of my life<br /><br />Black Flag and Minor Threat, both of those are 2 Hardcore Punk bands when I first heard and began to love it...and keep my spirit of Hardcore Punk remain...<br />Got P. M. A. and hand to hand with my OGB's & also with Family crew's<br /><br />Until now ...
