article: Getting your guitar set up correctly is one of the main keys to having a good learning experience. You can get this done by the guitar guru at the music store, a professional musician, or the owner of your local guitar repair shop. There are a couple primary benefits to having your guitar set up properly: Good intonation. This is maybe the most critical thing. Your guitar should be accurate so that when it's in tune (and you're playing the right notes), it will sound right. If your guitar has bad intonation, it may be in tune on the lower strings, but terribly out-of-tune when playing higher notes. This will be discouraging, and make it much harder to learn. Ease of playing. A guitar that's set up too high can be nearly impossible to play, as it can take an enormous amount of finger pressure to press down the string onto the frets. Not only will this cause intonation problems, it will hurt, and it will slow you down! In time you will develop calluses on your fingers to ease the pain, but it will still be difficult to play fast runs or switch up chords easily. Virtually every song you like has a recognizable melodic pattern, some sort of memorable turn of notes. Don't limit yourself to just the guitar solosthough that's always good to learnbut also listen to the singer, to the bass lines, little fills and noodles from the guitarist. Anything that catches your ear will workthe simpler, the better, as you are learning. For example, the melody to Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars is fairly simple, and has little vocal hooks and phrasings that you can try to imitate with the guitar. Call Me Maybe from Carly Rae Jepsen has a catchy melody, but it also has a distinctive string backup pattern that would be a good challenge. Gangnam Style by Psy has an insistent synth line that starts right at the beginning, and runs throughout the song. While you can't get all the "synthy" tone, you can get the basic lick down and then have fun with it! The key here is not to become a guitar legend by learning solosit's to become a guitar legend by learning to listen and be able to play what you hear. If you have trouble catching part of a tune, try watching the YouTube video for it: often times, there will be shots of the band playing that bit. Sure, a stomp box will give you awesome shredding tone, and sustain forever, but it also does something else: it masks errors in technique. A pure, clean guitar tone will expose every flaw in your playing. Save the shred tone for when you're jamming with your friends, or just cutting loose on your own. As you develop as a guitarist, you will learn to appreciate the "shortcuts" music theory can give you. For example, Instead of having to fiddle around to find the right chords to a song, a knowledge of music theory will enable you to know what the likely chords are in any given key. It will also let you converse musically with other playersespecially useful if you start a band. For example, a keyboardist will not be able to interpret your finger positions when you say "play this chord." A keyboard and guitar are not at all alike in how the notes are presented. However, if you say "Play an A7 then a B7 then back to E," he will be likely to understand you.

article:
Stop when the straw is halfway through the hole. If the straw falls through because the hole is too big, use glue to hold it in place. Make the hook about 1 inch (2.5cm) long. If the hook touches the sides of the jar when the lid is on, it's too big.If there isn't enough wire hanging down through the straw to make a hook with, unwind some of the spiraled end of the wire so you can push more down through the straw. Slide the holes you punched in the aluminum pieces onto the hook. When you're done, both pieces should be hanging right next to each other on the hook. To test your electroscope, get an inflated balloon or a rubber-soled shoe and quickly rub it back and forth between your hands. Then, hold the object next to the copper spiral at the top of your electroscope. You should see the 2 pieces of aluminum foil move away from each other. The more charged an object is, the more the pieces of foil will move away from each other. Try testing out different objects to see which ones have strong charges and which ones don't!
