Introduction

INTRODUCTION 




Welcome to the blog! The name's Maeyer Benjamin and I'm an aspiring musician and a fan of rock and roll.




I'd consider myself to have a very... unique taste in music. Most kids my age are into contemporary pop and top chart hits. I'm more of a vintage-eared person. Pronounce any rock, metal, pop, blues or jazz artist/band and there's a high chance that I listen to them.

As a guitarist, rock and roll is considered as the benchmark for a kick-ass stage guitar performance. I've continuously worked to perfect my technique and groove in every genre, but rock and roll always catches my ears first. The best thing about perfecting guitar groove is because you only need to enjoy music often!

I'm writing this blog to all like-minded (or eared!) people who love classics and probably even musicians like myself. For all you pop-heads, I'm pretty convinced that I can convince you to listen to ACDC, Queen, Deep Purple, A7X and more!

Stay tuned for posts, and I hope this blog'll rock y'all like a hurricane!

I tried almost every new technique, but none of them seem to make me feel like I'm making more advanced music. Then I came to realize that I have been lacking in proper musical knowledge since day one. I started small and learned scales and their relationships to chords in a song. I was shocked in how learning and harmonizing the major scale granted me the ability to figure out a song's tune by ear! I realized mu...

The Right Guitar For You

Which Guitar Is Right For You? Have you ever been to a music store wanting to buy a guitar, but not sure of which one to pick? Ever felt that the guitars you own sound or look out of place? I'm writing this blog to guide you guitar players in choosing the right guitar for you.  The Pickup War   Top: Single-Coil Pickups; Bottom: Humbucker Pickups In an electric guitar, a major part of the sound differences between each instrument is the pickups wired to them. Pickups pick up - hence the name - the string vibration and sends an electronic signal into the output, projecting sound; think of it as a microphone for your guitar strings.  There are two major types of pickups: single-coil pickups and humbucking pickups, or simply humbuckers. They differ in the way that they are wired, with single coil having one magnetic coils inside and humbuckers having two magnetic coils inside. These wiring differences contribute to their tone, producing differe...
