GEORGE HARRISON – What Is Life (lyrics included, 1970)

‘What Is Life’ is a song by George Harrison and is the first track on side two of his 1970 solo album “All Things Must Pass”. It was released as the second single from that album in the United States on February 15, 1971 with another album track, “Apple Scruffs,” as the B-side.
The song was written for Billy Preston in 1969, but Harrison decided not to ask Preston to record the song during his “funky” phase, seeing the song as too much of a “catchy pop tune”

“All Things Must Pass” is a triple album by George Harrison, recorded and released in 1970 after the break-up of The Beatles. The first triple album by a solo artist, the original vinyl release featured two LPs of rock songs, while the third LP, titled “Apple Jam”, was composed of informal jams led by Harrison with musician friends and famous musicians.

And some of George’s words: “It goes without saying that it has always been a pleasure to have my old friend Ringo playing drums, along with Klauss on bass, Billy Preston on piano and a few friends I had in the process of making: Gary Wright and Gary Brooker” and the final note: “Last but certainly not least, the amazing Mr. Phil Spector, who producced so many fantastic records in the sixties. He helped me so much to get this record made. In his company I came to realize the true value of the Hare Krishna Mantra. God bless you Phil”.
GOD BLESS YOU SWEET GEORGE!!

Also, search on Youtube for “Clara Rockmore” to see the greatest theremin player that ever lived.

The theremin is an electronic musical instrument that is played completely without physical contact. It was invented in 1919 by a Russian physicist named Lev Sergeyevich Termen. If you are new to the theremin, please learn about it. The wikipedia page is a good place to begin:

About the helmet:
It was made of papier-mâché with a custom LED visor built in … post production! using Softimage XSI and Adobe After Effects! Yes, it was a visual effect! 3D modeling, manual rotoscoping, and motion tracking/motion stabilization tricks were employed to pull this off. A LED array with animated text was projected on to a manually rotoscoped 3D visor, that was subsequently composited with the original footage using motion trackers in After Effects. The helmet itself took three days to make. I used 7 layers of card stock/normal stock paper strips in a special heavy mix paste recipe. The shape was built around a custom mold of shipping foam and gaffers tape. It was finished off with gunmetal grey paint. The visor was made of plastic cut from a microwave oven splash cover I found at Target for 5 dollars, laminated on both sides with Limo dark auto window tinting. I could see out, but the translucent plastic from the microwave splash cover along with the heavy tinting made it a little bit difficult. On the inside, the helmet was padded with custom cut felt blocks to fit my head size perfectly. The total weight was around 0.5 Kg (about 1 pound).

This video was made for love. Please share it.

50 Jazz Guitar Licks You MUST Know – Lick #44: ii-V7 Bop Riffs – Frank Vignola

FULL COURSE: http://su.pr/2qKNwT

More guitar lessons: http://su.pr/2YAuC1

On Twitter – http://www.twitter.com/truefiretv

On Faceboook – http://www.truefire.com/facebook

In this ii-V7 lick we start with a nice melodic statement using an interval jump. Then we follow it up with a scalar pattern that leads into an arpeggio. So, we are utilizing the different techniques we have been learning in other licks. This is a good lick to learn in different keys and positions. It may take a little practice with the slow rhythm track to get this lick under your fingers. The fast tempo is a realistically bright tempo that jazzers play so take the time practice slowly building the speed of your eighth note lines.
