[NEW RELEASE] NIKE 1WORLD AF-1 - BUSY P

The newly launched Nike 1World project has been created in conjunction with select cool kids in the “sports, music, art and design fields”, presumably hand-picked for their innate panache on a global scale. The scope of 1World has been defined as 18 original shoes, which will be launched month by month via Nike's awesome AF-1 website.

Today the first three have now been revealed – from the rainbow excess of Busy P to the refelective digital camo of Gore-Texer (Nitro Microphone Underground) and finally Rasheed’s hightop with ‘Max Air’, you couldn’t find three more different AF-1s if you tried. Definitely a bright start to this project...
Just go to http://www.nikeairforce1.com and hit the 1World button - all will be revealed in due course!

 

Playing guitar the proper way is essential in order for you not only so that you do not strain your back, but also so that you produce proper sound. Here we first examine how to hold the guitar properly and also what your body position should be so that you can play guitar for years free of discomfort and errors. So here are a few tips to help you do this.

Take the guitar and hold it with the back against your stomach. If you are right handed, point the neck to the left. At this point we will give tips on the perspective of someone who is right handed but at the end of the article you will find tips if you are left handed. Now lay the body of the guitar on your upper right thigh. Then with your left hand grab the guitar neck and wrap your right arm round the body of the guitar. You can now place the right hand on the strings. If you don't feel comfortable shift around the position of your body until you are.

While playing guitar use your left hand to press the string and construct chords. Your left hand fingers are bent and pressed down on the strings and fret board. The smooth curves of the neck of the guitar are such that your hand fits into it snugly and comfortably while your thumb is easily arched over the top of the neck. When you construct chords the position where the thumb is situated is ideal for when you build chords. An alternative which is also quite popular when playing guitar scales, is to press the left thumb on the back of the neck of the guitar. The best thing to do is for you to find out which position is more comfortable for you by trying both and then go for the one that feels right.

Be aware of your position when you are playing guitar for the first time. The top part of the guitar should have your right biceps resting on it. Remember that getting into bad bad habits playing guitar early on it will definitely affect you in the long term so nip them at the bud now. Having your right arm positioned on top of the guitar and your hand placed over the sound hole (where the sound of the guitar comes from) you should now use your right hand and start strumming the strings.

When playing guitar picks are often used. These should be held between the forefinger and your right hand's thumb. Once that is done just pull the pick across the guitar's strings just as you would do if you used your fingers but do it exerting more pressure.

If you are left handed you should do the above in reverse. Also you can easily re-string a right handed guitar and reverse the order of the string so that it plays like a custom made left handed guitar. Or you could simply have a custom made left handed guitar if you prefer.

Proper position while playing guitar not only serves the purpose of allowing to play the guitar without unnecessary discomfort, but additionally it really helps to produce the right sound coming from your acoustic guitar. So it is crucial that you really take time to learn how to position your body in the right way as well as holding the guitar in the proper manner.
