FlameTune will excite any music enthusiast

Posted by Wendy on April 29, 2008 No comments

I have discovered this site, Flame Tune, at just the right time. My son has just bought his first guitar and I am encouraging him to explore the culture of the instrument as well as the repertoire musically. Basically Flame Tune is a very popular online community featuring the latest and most popular music tabs, bands, individual artists, lyrics and social networking. One feature I am very impressed with is the regular reviews regarding guitar lessons and information regarding individual artists such as Avril Lavigne – maybe you are after Avril Lavigne lyrics and her song collection? the list is updated weekly and is quite extensive.

I have searched some sites to download scales, studies and notation but really have not yet found what I think would best serve my son’s needs; on Flame Tune the student can have a look at what online lessons are available currently – these are all reviewed by musicians themselves which is an aspect that I find extremely important. For the enthusiast who has a particular favourite artist or music genre they can choose from a huge selection of guitar tabs; if you are into Avril Lavigne, for example, you will find Avril Lavigne guitar tabs along with the lyrics and chords. These are mostly contributed by individuals so should you find the one you want is not there all you do is make a submission/request.

By the way the previous are for acoustic/electric guitar; there are also Avril Lavigne bass tabs for who play bass guitar. While you are at it check out the ringtones, posters and that all-important sheetmusic. There are various forums for you to join in and discuss your favourite band/artist and all music genre’s are well covered; jazz, rock, punk and pop…

Don’t forget it is not just guitar stuff here; if you are a drummer you will find your niche and pianists as well. It is free to register and join so give it a try and widen your circle with more friends and contacts in the world of music.

Increasing your back-links in 30 minutes

Posted by Wendy on April 29, 2008 1 comment

I have just been looking at a review by Loretta regarding a proven way to drastically increase the back-links to your site/s from PR5-7 sites – this is not reciprocal linking but legitimate page rank gain. It is called the 30 Minute Backlinks test. She’s a smart cookie this girl and has test-run the method herself so I have signed up to learn more.

You subscribe by email and then receive your information. There is a video to view – 30 minutes duration – and she claims quite credibly that within that time frame your links will start flowing in, all search engine friendly and should you give it a go yourself she’d really like to hear from you about your own results.

Dad space: The Eaglehawk

Posted by Wendy on April 28, 2008 No comments

One thing you notice about Dad’s who blog is the interesting difference in their style from those Mum’s who blog. I am not just referring to the content, though it is often significantly different, but form, presentation and outlook.

Of course as men and women we certainly view the world, and family life, with a different attitude; it’s a refreshing difference that really stands out to me as a reader.

EagleHawk writes very quirky articles and one thing grabs me from the start – he dosen’t go on…and on…and on; his articles are nicely concise and the subjects he writes about can make you sit back in your seat and think for a bit and then go ‘ oh yeah…interesting point’. He has some articles that would never occur to me to write about: Your Linguistic Profile was a great little read – he say’s Howdy y’all  – I would say G’day. Actually that article has given me food for thought for an article along those same lines…

I can really relate to his post about newborn feeding problems having been in exactly the same situation myself when my huge strapping son was a small baby – he had me going ‘yep, been there done that got the t-shirt’. I have to say that in another blogger’s  hands, a Mommy-one for instance, such an article could have gone on a lot longer and in more gory detail but then again, here is the difference I mentioned earlier; a common everyday event but from a male point of view.

In all I like this blog; it is easy to read, not too heavy on the kiddie aspect and the ‘Hawk is an avowed anti-spammer warrior  – and I think we all need guys like that around.
