This is a truly one-of-a-kind incredible performance from the opening ceremony at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Gives me chills.

I took a bit of a break, but I'm back to posting cool videos and links you'll love. I look forward to hearing from you guys in the comments section!!

Here are two of my favorite bass players Victor Wooten of Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (in the white pants and hat), and Edgar Meyer (the striped shirt). They both happen to be arguably two of the best bassists in the world. Both of them are having fun playing a duet on the same upright bass.

Parents, remember to tune those guitars when Santa brings them for Christmas! Here's a link to the online guitar tuner where you match the sound of a plucked string to the plucked strings of your own guitar!

Hey guys, Josh S. brought in a harmonica this afternoon, and he played a song with me on guitar. Sounded great—way to go Josh! Harmonica is one of the cheaper instruments, and it's completely portable. There are lots of you who already have one sitting around somewhere. Alpha music sells harmonicas, and you can expect to pay about $20-35 for one. Consider the Hohner brand if you want a great harmonica to learn.

Here's how they arranged "Firework" An arrangement  (in music) is an adaptation of a composition for other instruments or voices or for another style of performance. Acoustic: Instruments that do not need electricity to produce sound Cover: A song played by a musician that was originally created and performed by another artist Enjoy!

Here's a taste of Mr Burnsworth's class singing Peas Porridge today after learning the rhyme for the first time. I look forward to turning this into a drumming piece next week! FYI: the original word for peas was "pease" meaning the same thing in the rhyme.
