There are also some players who play a classical guitar. Sometimes it comes very close to classical music with interweving lines. His main style is to use moveable lines instead of block chords. His lessons (which Martin calls ' the curriculum' ) start rather simple with simple harmonization in tenths and sevenths. "I'm a daily visitor of the Fingerstyle Guitar School with Martin Taylor Taylor. He never seems to come off saying 'that's great' in a fake way.a true gentleman :-)" - Robert I'm so impressed by how Martin is so honestly involved, never projecting any sort of condescension. "I'm always amazed how Martin stays on top of submissions from students, no big time lapses from student submission to Martin response, no excuses for his grueling travel schedule. Thanks to all at ArtistWorks and of course to Martin for making this possible." - Larry Mazzocco Martin's instruction is taking me to a level of understanding I never thought I would reach. I've played guitar since the 1966 and have taken lessons from a few excellent teachers. I'm not very active as far as uploading videos (laziness) but I study Martin's lessons and critiques and practice his method every day. " I am getting a lot out of Martin Taylor's guitar school. It's the next best thing as sitting in the same room with. ![]() It's really the best format I've run across…anywhere. He'll work with you no matter what level you are." - Bob the Guitar Doctor I can't tell you enough about how great this is. What I like about it is that I started seeing results right away in my playing. In the video I decided to take that 3 rd and root up an octave."Whether you've just been playing for a short time or you're a seasoned professional, there's something that you're going to learn here for sure. In the second ending (final bar) a nice overlapping occurs when the initial 3 notes of the A9 are sounded followed with a 3 rd and a high root added after the fact. Syncopation between the bass line and melody is used the most in the initial pickup measure and in bar 11. On the last beat of bar 11, the bass line suggests a D#dim7. The contrary motion is quite evident in bar 11. 7 th chords with cycle 4 root motion, extended and secondary dominants. That F#7 is the V7 of B9 which is the V7 of E7. ![]() This chord is acting like the V7 of F#7, the next chord in the progression. Harmonically speaking everything is pretty standard for a blues progression until bar 7 with the C#/E#. In bar 2 over the D#dim7 I couldn’t resist filling out the chord a bit and you’ll see that approach in bars 5,9, 10 and 12 as well. The pickup measure utilizes one of my very favorite concepts, contrary motion. ![]() With the bass line I took advantage of inversions as often as possible to get good leading tones into chord roots. Some of the lines remind me of New Orleans-style jazz and I went with that and tried to develop those ideas. I improvise for while with the bass and melody until certain melodies catch my ear and then I may write them down. The Down Low Blues seemed like an appropriate title.įor this two-line concept, I usually think of the bass line first and then add a melody on top. The guitar does sound an octave below where it’s written which makes bass clef very tempting! If all of the ledger lines are an issue than I suggest looking at the chord symbols and TAB which should more easily identify those low bass notes. I debated whether to write the 7 string bass notes in bass clef or using an 8vb indication, but decided on writing the notes in the treble clef on the proper octave. I use the low A tuning for the 7 th string to get a couple of extra notes that the low B tuning can’t achieve. The 7 string guitar is particularly well-suited for this type of approach. One of my favorite textures to employ while playing fingerstyle guitar is two-line counterpoint. Jazz guitarist and JGT contributor Steve Herberman provides a 7 string lesson with a two-line counterpoint. ![]() Known as the Ayrton light, the green lantern above Big Ben shines whenever parliament is in session. This motto isn’t updated for new monarchs, as it is part of Big Ben’s history. It reads, OMINE SALVAM FAC REGINAM NOSTRAM VICTORIAM PRIMAM, and translated that means, ‘O Lord, keep safe our Queen Victoria the First’. There’s a Latin saying beneath Big Ben’s clock face. In fact, Big Ben was chiming as usual all through the bombing and the rebuilding of the Commons Chamber. Luckily, though, Big Ben and its clock tower were undamaged. In May 1941, the Commons Chamber at Westminster was destroyed by incendiary bombs.

In 1940, Big Ben Began Observing the Silent MinuteĪs a way to help Britons contemplate the terror and sadness of war, the BBC introduced the silent minute in 1940. Through all the chaos of putting out the blaze (and the explosions themselves) Big Ben kept ticking – that’s one tough tower. The building was destroyed along with the roof of Westminster Hall. At one point during WWII, a German bomber dropped a bomb on The House of Commons right next door. Having a dimmed clockface didn’t stop Big Ben from nearly taking a hit though. With the whole of London dark, the glowing face would have been an easy target. Of course our interesting facts about Big Ben had to include some wartime drama!ĭuring WWII, the face of Big Ben’s clock was dimmed in compliance with blackout rules. There were plenty more ups and downs at Westminster, including a fire, but ultimately Big Ben’s clock face began ticking in 1859. The first that we have records of was built in the 1360s, and was the first public chiming clock in England. The first clock tower reported having been built where Westminster now stands was constructed in the 1290s. ![]() The tower we now know as the Elizabeth Tower was not the first clock on the site. That takes us right back to Queen Victoria, who was queen from 1837-1901.īut Big Ben facts and history go back even further than that. How old is Big Ben? Well, old enough to have been standing through the reigns of seven monarchs. Each penny causes Big Ben to gain 0.4 seconds. On top of that, the pendulum is adjusted by adding old pennies (from before decimalisation). Winding takes over an hour, and someone has to wind the clock three times a week. Of course, in order to keep Big Ben’s chimes sounding at just the right moment the clock has to be adjusted and wound. In fact, the clock is accurate to within two seconds every two weeks. That’s a lot of ceremony for a bell! Big Ben is Really, Really Accurate Then, it was taken across Westminster Bridge in a carriage drawn by sixteen white horses. In fact, the bell was seen as so important that when it arrived in London it was brought down the Thames in a barge as Londoners flocked to watch. It’s not about to topple over, but if you look carefully when you’re standing close to Big Ben you should be able to see it tilt to one side. He was also nicknamed Big Ben.ĭon’t worry, the tower leans at an inclination of just 1/250 or 0.4 degrees. The second suggests that the clock was named after a heavyweight boxer, champion at the time the tower and clock were built, Benjamin Caunt. He was a large man, and known around the house as Big Ben. The first theory is that the bell (and now the whole clock, usually) was nicknamed ‘Big Ben’ after Sir Benjamin Hall, the first Director of Works. However, you might get one of two answers. One of the first questions many people ask about London’s famous clock is, ‘how did Big Ben get its name?’ We’re not Sure how Big Ben got its Nickname Big Ben’s clock faces are called The Big Clock, which is just as thoughtful. What was the tower called before the new name? It was very imaginatively named Clock Tower. It was only in 2012 that the tower was given its current name, as an honour to Queen Elizabeth on her jubilee. Why Big Ben? Well, it’s really big! In fact, the bell of Big Ben weighs over 13 tonnes. The tower itself is Elizabeth Tower, and it’s the huge bell inside that’s called Big Ben.

The executive committee runs the Packers, and is ultimately responsible for the direction of the football team and organization. Who runs the Packers organization?Ī 45-member board of directors is elected by the stockholders, who in turn elect a seven-member executive committee.

The game and stock sale brought in around $100,000 and club president Emil Fischer praised fans at a victory party, saying, “We’ve done it again. The team was facing $90,000 in losses in late 1949, and scheduled a Thanksgiving Day intrasquad game to raise enough funds to finish the season. This sale sold shares at $25 apiece (about $450 in today’s money) and was pitched as more of a fund drive.

If you look at a map of the United States, most won’t even show Green Bay as it’s the third-largest city in the state behind Milwaukee and Madison. Green Bay, Wisconsin has a population of 104,057 as of the 2010 census, easily making it the smallest home city of an NFL team.
