System Guitar
what is the grade system with guitar / vocals ?
I;ve heard a lot about 8th graders (music) being able to teach .
How many grades does it take to join a pro orchestra.
And how long does it take on average.(2hrs of practice a day)
you can’t think of it that way. A musical genius might start out at grade one in the exams but can play a concert. On the other hand, a teacher with grade eight just might not have the desire, endurance, or charisma to do a solo concert.
I CAN tell you this however: If you get a grade eight you will be technically equipped to play professionally… As I said above, this doesn’t mean you can do it… it’s up to your individual skills aside from your schooling.
I would answer your question about practicing the same way. Itzhak Perlman is proud to tell people he never practices. And yet, he is one of the greatest living performers. Another great performer, Yo Yo Ma, practices for hours on end. Again, how much you practice can only be good for your art but it won’t scientifically ‘make’ you a professional performer.
One more thing, how would getting an education in guitar or vocals get you into an orchestra? Even though they might play a part, it wouldn’t be considered full time.
good luck

Mississippi Fred McDowell concert at Newport Folk Festival on 27 Jul 68 $6.98 Following the extraordinary backstage jam (also available here in the Concert Vault) that was piped live over the PA system prior to the July 27, 1968 evening performers, Newport Festival director George Wein, announced another unscheduled surprise to begin that evening’s program. On hand and eager to play a few numbers was one of the most important rural blues guitarists to come out of the 1960s blues revival, Mississippi Fred McDowell. At age 55, McDowell had been discovered in 1959, when he was first recorded by music historian, Alan Lomax. Those recordings, which would see release spread out over multiple compilations, Deep South-Sacred and Sinful and Yazoo Delta-Blues and Spirituals on the Prestige label; and Sounds of the South and Roots of the Blues issued by Atlantic Records, announced McDowell to a new legion of fans. These recordings would launch McDowell’s career as a professional musician. Two subsequent 1964 solo albums, released on Arhoolie and Testemant, would cement his reputation, leading to international touring the following year, where he encountered enthusiastic response everywhere he went. In America, McDowell became a frequent performer on the club and festival circuit. Although considered one of the great Mississippi Delta blues men, McDowell was originally from Tennessee, having relocated to Como, Mississippi, in the early 1940s, where he found steady work farming, while performing at local picnics and dances. McDowell would be among the first (if not the first) of the northern Mississippi blues musicians to achieve wide recognition for his music. Although one of his most ubiquitous quotes was the declaration, “I do not play rock ‘n’ roll,” he was not averse to playing an electric guitar. McDowell also took a personal interest in sharing his technique with younger rock and blues musicians. His influence can clearly be heard in subsequent blues recordings by younger Mississippi blues men like R.L. Burnside and Junior Kimbrough, and he per |

12 Songs $8.98 One of the year’s most heavily-anticipated new releases, 12 Songs pairs the pop music icon Neil Diamond with legendary producer Rick Rubin. Producing a Neil Diamond album has been a long-time dream for Rubin, whose extraordinary resume spans the history of hip-hop from LL Cool J to Jay Z, the world of hardcore rock from Slayer to System Of A Down, and the pantheon of mythic stars from Tom Petty and Donovan to Mick Jagger and Johnny Cash’s immortal Grammy-winning American Recordings series. Most of the songs were recorded with Neil playing and singing at the same time, said Rick Rubin in a Rolling Stone article (9/22/05) profiling the producer, and it’s a different animal. It’s taking him back to being more of a singer-songwriter. He really blows me away. When it came time to record 12 Songs, Rick Rubin assembled a sympathetic ensemble of musicians to capture the essence of Neil Diamond’s extraordinary new songs, each of them a finely-wrought gem, soul-searching, honest, yearning, and powerful. A core group of musicians made up of Mike Campbell (guitar) and Benmont Tench (piano/organ) from Tom Petty’s Heartbreakers and guitarist Smokey Hormel (Beck, Tom Waits) and other musicians including the renowned Larry Knechtel (piano) and Billy Preston (organ) played on the album. Tracklisting 1. Oh Mary 2. Hell Yeah 3. Captain Of A Shipwreck 4. Evermore 5. Save Me A Saturday Night 6. Delirious Love 7. I’m On To You 8. What’s It Gonna Be 9. Man Of God 10. Create Me 11.
