Blur Reunite at London in 2009

Britpop legends, Blur, are following in the steps of Led Zeppelin and reuniting for a London concert in the summer of 2009. The show is scheduled for Hyde park on July 3rd 2009. The full band consisting of Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, bassist Alex James and Dave Rowntree will be together on the stage for the firs time in over eight years.Tickets for the event are priced at a staggering £45 and will go on sale at 9am on Friday the 16th through the concert promotor, Live nation.

The band had never really split up in the first place but sort of drifted apart amidst rumors of disagreements and arguments. However the band recently posted a video on their website where the band were greeting each-other warmly and discussing their reunion in detail.

Since the band's hiatus lead singer, Damon Albarn has produced several concept pieces of work including the Japanese opera, Monkey. He has also produced one of the biggest dance bands ever with, Gorillaz with several number one hits. Damon Albarn said on the websites video that he was very excited to get back together with Blur once more and is looking forward to 'share a bit of happiness'.

There is no doubt that the band will rekindle their success. back in the 1990's they racked up four number one songs in the charts. In 1999 Coxon went solo and Albarn started the band, Gorillaz with Jamie Hewlett and James co-wrote songs for Sophie Ellis Bextor and Faithless. In 2002 the group got back together to make the album, Think Tank but during the production guitarist Coxon left the band. The remaining members promoted the album but no further albums were made.

Blur join a long list of other bands that have reunited recently including, The Police, genesis, Led Zeppelin and the Spice Girls have all reunited.

Save Money and Time when Learning Guitar

Learning how to play the guitar today is much different then it would be learning before dvd's and the Internet.When I first started it was with a simple book that taught me the basics, today with new technology any adult or youth can learn from a guitar lessons dvd in less time and a lot easier.

I want to explain the benefits of teaching yourself guitar from a dvd rather then taking private guitar lessons.

Let's Save some Money

It's not cheap to take private guitar lessons.Most guitar instructors charge between $10 and $30 for a single lesson each week. Contrast that with a one time fee of between $50 and $150 (depending on the dvd you buy) and there are some big savings to be had.

Most guitar instruction dvd courses such as Learn and Master guitar will provide you with enough content to teach yourself for over a year.

Time Savings

If you're an adult then you have a job, family and friends you have to tend to each day. As an adult being able to learn guitar on your own terms when you have free time makes things a bit easier.

It can be no easy task to get to a guitar lesson at the exact same time every Tuesday night if you have other responsibilities to deal with. Especially if there are kids to cart around to engagements and other social and family items to tend to.

When learning using dvd guitar lessons you can sit down and watch and learn and entire lesson when you have the time to commit, that may or may not be at the same time each week.

What to Shop For

Ensure the lessons you're buying were created by a good reputable guitar instructor or player, also the content should be enough to last you for 10-12 months.Some of the less expensive guitar lesson dvds you can purchase at a local music store won't get you very far as their is minimal lesson content included.

Also if possible look for a sample of the audio and video quality the product was filmed with.A bad quality video can make even the best guitar lessons useless.

What's the Fastest way to Learn Guitar?

For youth and adults alike learning to play the guitar can bring a lot of joy. For many it's a dream they've always had but never got around to doing, and now finally have the free time.

I want to help you learn to play guitar faster, so I'm going to reveal 3 ways you can get started for nothing by teaching yourself to play guitar on the web.

So What is the Quickest Method to Learn Guitar

Probably the fastest way to learn guitar from scratch is by watching videos.When I was first learning how to play I used to use a book. I found this to be far to cumbersome, and I was never sure if I was learning things the right way.

If there was access to the web when I was starting out I'm sure I could have used all the different resources and sites available to beginners now to learn more much faster.

Each of these video websites are great for learning the basics of guitar. Watching someone do it in a video allows you to gage if you're doing it correctly also, something I was never able to get from the books I used.

Keeping with the video concept, there is a great new online guitar lessons website setup called Work Shop Live.You can visit their site and give it a test drive with the free lessons they offer by signing up.

This would be my second stop on the road to learning guitar fast.

It isn't the easiest step to take when you're first starting out, but you'll learn much faster when you start jamming with others who are better then you.

It's embarrassing at first to try and keep up with your friends, but they will be a wealth of information if you get the courage to show up on a Friday night to jam.It's not hard to learn more playing your acoustic with others for a few nights then watching 50 free guitar lessons videos.
