  • ProChords

    It probably comes as no surprise to anyone familiar with this website that I am a big fan of music apps for the iPhone (and iPod Touch) and so i couldn’t wait to check out an app which claims to make writing music on a piano easier.

    ProChords is published by Groundcontrol ApS and does exactly that, select a starting chord and ProChords will give you a selection of chords that work, some obvious, some not-so obvious. With a library of over 8000 chord progressions stored in the app and more being added to the database all the time this is a great tool to spark inspiration and help you steer clear of getting in a rut when it comes to your chord choices.

  • Guitar Rock Tour

    Guitar Hero was featured recently as being one of the fastest selling gaming franchises in US history, and it’s clear why. Instead of now playing air guitar to yourself, you can do it on a physical guitar – not to mention actually being able to hear what your playing. Just last Friday, World Tour hit worldwide, bringing with it a physical drum set and mic retailing at £149.99.

    … But it’s not just the big consoles which are getting the attention – Oh no – Guitar Hero mobile nearly reached platinum (1,000,000 sales worldwide) last year. Platinum! With this in mind, it comes as no surprise that Guitar Rock Tourâ„¢ which is a mobile reincarnation of Guitar Hero, is currently hot on iPhone … (more…)

  • Music, is Life.

    Today, I’ve come to the conclusion I honestly couldn’t live without music, if I tried. I’m listening to some sort of it, 24/7. The funny thing about it is, I can listen to almost anything, and like it. So what makes my tolerance of the stuff, so diverse I wonder? – What makes anyone’s perception of music so diverse? – Why do some people hate the types of music other people live for? – Opinion.

    Everyone is different, and so everyone likes and loath different aspects of life – I understand that. With so much music out, now-a-days and with new and up-coming bands spring up here, there and almost everywhere, it’s not surprising that some genre’s are looked down upon. But it doesn’t have to be that way – I mean, you can like music, or dislike it, but you don’t have to hate on it …
