How-to

I'm am going to list everything that you need to know in order to play the G major chord on a guitar. This is just something to help you get started with your experience. Playing an instrument is fun and enjoyable so I would like to share this musical bond with you. Before I show you how to play it, there are somethings that you need to know before hand.

On a guitar, there are pieces of iron that are called frets. On most guitars, the frets have an inlay (some sort of design) on the fretboard. Usually the inlays are on the odd number of frets besides the twelfth fret. Right now I need you to take you guitar and lay it down so the strings are facing you. The strings that you are now looking at from left to right are E-A-D-G-B-e strings. Now that the you know the strings, in order for me to teach you I need to give you the name of the fingers. When it comes to playing guitar your thumb doesn't count as a number. The index finger is called your "first finger." The middle finger is the second finger, your ring finger is the third finger, and your pinky is your fourth finger.

Step 1
Take your guitar and place it on your leg. Make sure that you use your opposite hand to hold the guitar. Example: if you are right handed, your left hand goes on the side with the frets and the strings.

Step 2
Take your second finger and put it on the 3rd fret on the E string. Then, take your first finger and put it on your second fret on the A string. Lastly, place your third finger on the third fret on the e string.

Step 3
Now that you have the shape of the chord, you need to curve your fingers and press down on the strings. Curving your fingers will help you eliminate any buzzing or muted strings.

Step 4
There are several of ways to play now that you have the position down. A player may use a pick to strum (play all of the notes at the same time) or their fingers. Take your free hand and quickly strum all the stings at the same time.

Some of these techniques and information that I have shared with you can be used to play other chords as well. By knowing the strings and frets, along with a little bit of music theory, you can take the knowledge that you just learned and try to create some other chords.

Make sure that you follow the steps that I have given you and you be be able to successfully play a G major chord. There are also websites online that can show you how to play certain chords if you don't know any music theory. Have fun and enjoy playing.

Violence on television

I don't think that what people watch on television impact what they do, especially violence. Never in my life have a sat down and watched something that was violent and then think, "I'm going to go kill somebody." The last time I checked, nobody goes out and forces people to kill or be violent towards others. I think that people who are violent, naturally are just upset with themselves, and they take it out on other people. Same thing could be said with the use of drugs on television. Just because you see it on television, doesn't mean that the show or program you were watching is going to physically force you to pick up a bottle or a needle. I do believe in the law of exposure, but I don't believe that it actually impacts the decisions that we make in our life. As long as people have a good conscience, what they see or hear shouldn't effect them. People love to watch horror movies, but that doesn't mean that they will break out into a fight or start shooting up people in the movie theater. We can talk about violence on television all that we want, but let's not forget that there are violent books out there too. How come nobody makes a debate about or complains about how violent books impact the violence in society. People make their own decisions no matter what they see or hear. To me, whatever we read or see, doesn't impact the decisions we make.

Fictional Stories, Real People

At one point in time, Lady Gaga was a terrible musician, and now that she is older she still is. She still wears cracked out outfits to separate herself from society, and the public still sees her as a dork. She is now 75 years old and lives in Hollywood because she still thinks she's a star. She still lives in denial after she got dropped from her recording contract because somebody was able to read her poker face. When she was dropped from her company, she was asked to do a shoot for playboy and it revealed a secret that shocked the world. Along with her fake boobs was also a penis. Lady Gaga didn't see anything wrong with being a man with breast implants, but the public disagreed. She was no longer having bad romances because nobody wanted to be intimate with her. As Lady Gaga didn't know, people don't like to have sex with people who have fake boobs and a penis. Since she is a nymphomaniac, Lady Gaga slipped into depression. She started abusing drugs and alcohol. After sleepless night of snorting cocaine and shooting heroin, she needed to find a companion to support her sex, drugs, and alcohol needs. She ended up spending the rest of her money for a bus ticket to New York, because there are a lot of homosexuals and all-around weird people that live in the city. She ended up finding somebody who loved her fake boobs and penis, this man goes by the name of Perez Hilton. Lady Gaga ended up moving in with Perez Hilton as long as he was able to blog about her to his mentally challenged audience. Perez was losing audience members by blogging about Lady Gaga so he had to blog about the Jersey Shore cast. Soon his hits were sky rocketing. Then tragedy struck when the government came up with a brilliant idea. The government decided to use the Jersey Shore cast and dousche bags alike as suicide bombers to get back at Osama Bin Laden for the 9/11 attacks. This brilliant government intervention left Perez Hilton absolutely nothing interesting to blog about. Perez ended up not having enough money to support Lady Gaga's drug habit and he ended up having to kick her out. Since Lady Gaga had no money and a deadly addiction, she had no choice but to sign up for a spot on celebrity rehab. Nobody has heard of Lady Gaga after she graduated rehab until Perez found this picture of her on eHarmony and decided to blog about it. The title of his blog is "Drugs are Bad."
