I auditioned for an agency that came to Berklee. The audition consisted of playing a medium tempo jazz groove, a ballad w/brushes, samba, bossa nova, rhumba, and then playing along to big band charts w/music minus drums and a click track. The emphasis was on good time keeping and chart reading.

When you think of celebrities on the red carpet, paparazzi may come to mind. Those horribly intrusive photos of stars at their worst or the obvious posed shots of stars are all too common at these events.

Did you know that when you picked up your acoustic guitar, you’re picking up an instrument with 5,000 years of history attached to it? Acoustic guitars are descendants of stringed instruments that were found in a variety of cultures thousands and thousands of years ago.

Since then, there has been a lineal evolution of several hundreds of years of instruments that can be directly compared to today’s acoustic guitars.

This computer language is called pixels, tiny colored dots represented by ones and zeros that make up the picture that you just captured.
