THE HOBBIT SONG

Far over the misty mountains cold, To dungeons deep and caverns old We must away ere the break of day, To seek the pale enchanted gold. The dwarves of yore made mighty spells, While hammers fell like ringing bells In places deep, where dark things sleep, In hollow halls beneath the fells. For ancient kings and elvish lord There many a gleaming golden hoard They shaped and wrought, and light they caught, To hide in gems on hilt of sword. On silver necklaces they strung The flowering stars, on crowns they hung The dragon-fire, in twisted wire They meshed the light and moon and sun. For over the misty mountains cold To dungeons deep and caverns old, We must away ere break of day, To claim our long-forgotten gold. Goblets they carved there for themselves And harps of gold; where no man delves There lay they lay long, and many a song Was sung unheard by man or elves. The pines were roaring on the height, The winds were moaning in the night. The fire was red, it flaming spread; Laid low like torches blazed with light. The bells were ringing in the dale, And men looked up with faces pale, Then dragon's ire more fierce than fire Laid low their towers and houses frail. The mountains smoked beneath the moon; The dwarves, they heard the tramp of doom. They fled their hall to dying fall Beneath his feet, beneath the moon. For over misty mountains grim To dungeons deep and caverns dim We must away ere break of day, To win our harps and gold from him!

GUITAR SERIES 3: GET READY WITH YOUR GUITAR, WE HAVE TO START PLAYING! BUT THAT IS AFTER WE TUNE S3 AND S4

TUNING YOUR GUITAR

An untuned guitar produces no music. Lets learn a few things that one has to know in order to make their guitar useful. If you read the recent articles, then you should be able to know that there are parts called frets,knobs,strings etc. I am talking about strings here. Now hold you guitar with the strings facing away from you belly. Arch your back forward until your finger rest on fret 1 of the guitar. The first strings that i always start to tune are string E and A. Now turn the tuneknob of string E (lets call it s1) to a certain favourable pitch. Dont tighten too much,you might break it! Press your index finger on s2 fret 3. If the guitar is tuned, s1 when open(not pressed) will sound the same as s2 pressed on fret 3). If not, turn s2 knob until it sounds like open s1. Remember that its not a must that coiling the knob has to be clockwise- it is determined by the pitch of s1. Thats for today. Next we will tune s3 and s4. If u have a suggestion,you are free to post it as a comment that will be viewed by over 100 serious guitar lovers.

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR GUITAR

A guitar is a dear instrument to maintain. Lets learn some of the parts that got to be handled with care. The six strings: they are attached to the bridge on one end and tuning knobs on the other. The lowest high-pitched string is 'E' and the topmost,also called bass is also 'E'. From the lowest,you can count strings E,A,B,C,D,E. This strings need to be dusted by passing a dry piece of rug over them. A damp rug can not do since dampness can cause rusting. The tuning knobs: they need to be lubricated regularly to avoid rust. The motherboard: its one of the most sensitive part of the guitar that takes a hippy shape. Heavy objects should not be placed on it to avoid breakage. It should be kept dry to avoid dampness that kills the sound. Hey folks,your guitar will not break while am still here. See you morrow!Once again,to a guitar is a dear instrument to maintain.

DO YOU OWN A GUITAR?

A guitar is a six stringed instrument that is played by plucking to produce music. the guitar is used in most songs as it is referred to as the basic music maker. Guitars come in two main categories; the acoustic and elecoustic guitars. The acoustic has a hippy board made of card board. It requires no power, only the fingers do the working. The elecoustic on the other hand is an electricity powered device. it is connected to an amplifier to produce sound. I will cover the acoustic guitar also known as box guitar. It is in terms of convenience the best choice. it requires no power as I said, is louder and cheaper (if you know its importance. they take several forms to the buyers taste. depending on the manufacturer, the price of an acoustic guitar ranges from 2,500-5,000. quality and the retailer also matters. Preferably, a 5,000 guitar is the best in quality. The local ones go for 2,000 and are much better as they are louder than the flashy ones you get at the supermarkets. A guitar is not easy to play as it seems when those rocksters move their fingers over and over easily. It needs commitment and focus. One can learn over the internet or in the music schools. You can also hook up with a guy who knows how we do it. The reason why you should have a guitar is that it is an accurate way of stress relieving. Its music. It is also a romantic instrument after the violin. Hanging it on the bedroom wall without even playing it invokes some romance. For those who like eccentricity, putting it on your couch will make your friends say wow when they visit. It can keep them busy when you are preparing your food. And note that you can never get fatigued of fondling a guitar over and over. However, a guitar is a delicate instrument. When neglected the melodious, shining strings may get rusty, it may break down when p[laced in a dump place. It therefore needs dusting and drying it regularly, say in two weeks time. Children are guitar enemies. Keep it out of reach. They are attracted by the tuning knobs which when tightly coiled may break the strings. Among the most fascinating instruments is the guitar. It can talk, snort, neigh growl and can provide a range of sounds when held at the various spaces between the vertical bars called frets. To produce music, you need to have chords. Have you ever realize d that the piano is an advancement of a guitar? If you know how to play the guitar, then you sure know how to play the piano. But vice versa, it can’t work! Now we are learning. So why don’t you try it out, venturing through your unexplored side of art life? Learn new skills and when you perfect it out don forget to comment here. When you go for it, don’t forget to choose the right one. Do not end up buying a right handed guitar while you are right handed. Right handed guitar is meant for the left handed people. That’s a lesson for tomorrow! My uncle who trained me once told me that there is nothing like talents in this world. If we have concentration, passion and commitment we can do anything better that anyone else.

I want to fulfil my calling and give the best in me to guard my neighbour and protect his/her property from destruction. If according to your will i have to loose my life,God bless my family and friends with your protecting hands. AMEN

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TERMS

One guy was trying to explain to another the difference between the fuse and the breaking wire. He had all the terms that were needed to explain it but the twists and turns of the words ended up saying nothing. So the quark ended up winning the conversation because he simply explained the difference with simple english.

THE LAUGHING FACTOR OF LIFE

IT IS SAID THAT WHEN YOU LAUGH YOU INCREASE YOUR LIFE. MAY IT IS BECAUSE OF THE MECHANISMS THAT THE BODY UNDERTAKES WHEN YOUR PSYCHOLOGY IS EXCITED POSITIVELY. NOW, DOES THAT EXPLAIN WHY MAD PEOPLE (THOSE WHO LAUGH AT NOTHING AT ALL) LIVE UP TO NONA-GENERIC YEARS (90)?

TODAY I VISITED A HOTEL WHERE I FOUND PEOPLE WATCHING A PROGRAMME ON THE T.V. I WAS NOT KEEN AS I WAS HUNGRY. JUST THEN WHEN THE MOVIE GOT TO A CLIMAX, THE TV. JAMMED. I WONDERED WHY IT WAS NOT JAMMING ON THE LESS INTERESTING PARTS. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR A DATE, OR DRIVING TO THEIR HOME TO PICK THEM, THE CAR BREAKS, OR YOU RUN OUT OF GAS. YET YOU ARE ALWAYS FULL OF GAS. WHEN YOU ARE WAITING FOR A GRADUATION IN YOUR SCHOOL, THE TEND TO POSTPONE IT. WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN?
