Learn Desert Guitar | Desert Blues Guitar Lessons
Justin Adams needs little introduction, he being one of Britain's master guitarists - whether he's Robert Plant's right-hand man or Jah Wobble's foil, producer of Tinariwen and Rachid Taha, a studio collaborator with the likes of Brian Eno and Sinead O'Connor, half of the JUJU duo with Gambian griot Juldeh Camara or joining Ben Mandelson and Lu Edmonds in maverick folk trio Les Triaboliques. Adams' long connection with the music emanating from the Sahara and North Africa has ensured that he is amongst the most influential electric guitarists of the 21st Century. Just as his British forefathers Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton picked up on US blues and rockabilly to pioneer new levels of dynamic improvisation in rock guitar, Adams' immersion in (and understanding of) the music of the Berbers and Tuareg - who roam the Sahara - and the griots of Africa has literally expanded and enriched the electric guitar's sonic palette. Born in London and spending his early childhood years in Egypt - his father was a diplomat - Adams grew up loving both the British pop/rock music he heard on the BBC and the North African music encountered on the streets and souks of Cairo. As a young guitarist back in Britain it was his ability to blend elements of both musical cultures that made him such a distinctive musician and an in-demand player for visionary producers and band leaders who wanted to step outside conventionJustin Adams teaches a rhythmic approach to North and West African styles of playing guitar that is based on both groove and musical dialogue: these traditionally oral (non-written) forms of music are inclusive, open to long improvised sections, and can be very flexibleI became fascinated with the almost infinite forms of traditional music," says Adams, "often using ancient stringed instruments and trance like dance rhythmsVisit : https://worldmusicmethod.com/desertguitar/

Creative Academy redifining dance, says Naushad Shaikh
Dance is the language of the soul. It is a different level of existence and a heightened sense of self. Dance conveys which is otherwise impossible to be said with an ever lasting impact.We, at Creative Academy, endeavor to help dance enthusiasts learn to communicate through dance. For us, dance is not only a physical exercise but is something that has its roots in spirituality. All the forms of dance such as hip hop, jazz, contemporary, ball and salsa are like different languages to convey what your soul wants to say.Creative Academy believes that dance is natural to human body. You may already be doing a few moves of a certain genre but you may not know it. Dinit Roham, a renowned hip hop dancer said “Dance came naturally to me. I knew a lot of hip-hop moves even before I knew what hip-hop was.” And this is something which happens to each one of us. Creative Academy only refines these moves and helps you become a better dancer.The academy is situated at Nigdi Pimpdi Chinchwad at Pune in Mumbai. The academy specializes in an array of dance forms particularly hip hop and contemporary. Teaching dance for many years now, we have gathered seasonal trainers who understand what your body is good at and train you in that.Creative Academy has created many performers who have performed through various platforms. Recently, a street performance was given by our rising stars on the occasion of Ganesh Chaturthi. We also organize dance seminars and events where we provide a platform to our students to showcase their talent to the world.As my ending note to this, I would like to quote Charles Baudelaire. He said “The dance can reveal everything mysterious that is hidden in music, and it has the additional merit of being human and palpable. Dancing is poetry with arms and legs.”

Merleiah: The Fall Of The Rising Kingdom
On an edge of a cliff, a girl stood frigid. Her head bowed, locks as golden as the setting sun escaped the warmth of her hood.The air gently carressed her pale skin. Her cloak rippling as a sudden hard blast of wind went through her as if it really intended to hit her frail frame. But she did not moved an inch. She was wearing filthy clothes inside her majestic cloak. The cloak seemed so misplaced on her shoulders. With the royal blue color and the velvety feel to it, the intricate silver details embroidered on the sides and the back, and the little crystals embedded on the neckline, it just seemed so out of place on her. The girl finally decided to move. She looked up, looking at the sun slowly kissing the vast shimmering ocean, muttering words not audible. "Father, why?"Her voice carried so much pain and anger that the cruel wind stopped as if to hear her suffer.As the sun slowly went into the open arms of the sea, a lone tear slowly slid down her cheeks to the grassy land on her feet. Before the last rays of the sun were consumed by the darkness, the girl looked up. She had bloodshot eyes, tearstained cheeks as if she spent her hours standing on the cliff, just crying. Her face contorted with rage but deep within her, she felt confused and most of all, scared. Scared of what to come. Scared of the future of her own kingdom. ***********

[[Mp3~Zip]] John Petrucci Terminal Velocity Album Download
Petrucci's supergroup trio is rounded out by bassist Dave LaRue (Dixie Dregs, Flying Colors), who played on Petrucci's G3 tours and his first solo album, 2005's Suspended Animation. In an interview, Petrucci expressed lofty, albeit merited, praise for LaRue: "It was awesome bringing Dave back to play bass on this album. He is just such a monster player who can handle anything you throw at him with tastefulness and unmatched musicality. His melodic approach to bass lines along with impeccable technique and groove for days really stands out on these tunes."As Petrucci shreds, soars and solos melodically throughout, his fingers sound as if they've been reared on steak and caffeine. Unrelenting, unforgiving, trying to learn these songs by ear is probably about as manageable as trying to catch smoke. Particularly on "Temple of Ciradia," easily the albums heaviest number, as the Portnoy/LaRue dynamic truly takes hold. As it does again in "Gemini", capturing a grittier, heavy rock vibe with the main riff that fizzes past. After several brief interludes that echo early Velvet Revolver, waves of Flamenco guitar wash over you and its all-glorious good fun. Though, lest we forget its more somber moments found in the ballad "Out of the Blue" which hauntingly captures the spirit of Gary Moore. And yet, 'Terminal Velocity' continuously detours back to genial solos boasting a broad, pop-punk smile. Most notably in "Happy Song," sounding as if Big Country instrumentally reimagined the Sum-41 hit "Still Waiting". This should sound like the musical equivalent to sampling pickles dipped in mustard when, in fact, it winds up with more peanut butter and chocolate relationship. Like a doughnut burger it really shouldn't work, but, wonderfully, it kind of does!
