Acoustic Covers – Completely Changing Up A Song

1 comment so far - CommentLuv enabled! join the Forum Community, check your Mail

Most people have a soft sport for acoustic covers in one way or another. Songs that are otherwise awful can be turned into something all new by being played with an acoustic guitar.

Just about any genre can be covered in acoustics. Metal, punk, and even hip hop have all had some sort of acoustic cover at some point.

For many new guitarists, playing acoustic can be a great way to get your name known. Playing local clubs and bars with a play list of recent chart toppers in acoustic forms can be a real crowd pleaser. Always be sure to mix it up genre-wise so that no one feels excluded by the tunes you are playing. Not everyone will enjoy hearing an hour of rap gone acoustic. Hone your skills and cater to as many people’s tastes as possible to get your name out there.

Today we interview Shawn Sharp, Art Producer at ArenaNet and one of the Gurus behind Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2.

Manuel: Tell us something about your career, Shawn, how did you arrive at ArenaNet?

Shawn: Originally I started out as a graphic designer and illustrator working in advertising for the most part. I was also doing illustrations for pen and paper role playing game companies on the side. Dynamix, at the time a small start up computer game company in Eugene, Oregon contacted me to see if I would be interested in moving there to art direct computer games. This was in 1989, I had just started a graphic design studio and frankly didn’t even really know what computer games were. While it looked interesting I passed on the opportunity. A year later they contacted me again, I was a little more savvy and decided to give it a shot. I loved the idea of interactive story-telling and still do.

Atlanta, Georgia is one of the best places I’ve been to. Aside from being the most populated city in the United States, Atlanta is the third largest city in the U.S. and is known as the top business city and transportation hub of the country (it has the busiest airport too).

With regard to tourism, Georgia’s capital city also offers a great deal to boast about. In reality, most of the Atlanta attractions are even recognized across the world. It is where the worldwide head office of Coca-Cola, Delta Airlines, and AT&T can be found. Apart from that, there are tour selections for the Atlanta Zoo, inside CNN Studio, Fernbank Museum of Natural History, The Atlanta Botanical Garden, the Atlanta History Center and the High Museum of Art.

One very famous destination among Atlanta attractions is The High Museum of Art. So what’s with this tourist destination that really draws in a huge crowd daily?

Art Paintings

No comments yet - CommentLuv enabled! join the Forum Community, check your Mail

For centuries, people have studied the Arts. Millions of artists have come and gone and paintings have graced the walls of a multitude of homes and museums. The love of art paintings is more than just looking at pretty pictures on the walls. The love of paintings includes knowing, and often feeling, just how past artists created their masterpieces.

If you have ever viewed Leonardo Da Vinci’s Last Supper then you have truly looked at art. Da Vinci’s masterpiece became highly popular virtually the minute he finished the last stroke. The King of France during that period fell so in love with this work of art that he wanted to have the entire wall taken down and moved to France.

Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel has affected people in much the same way. Although not technically a wall painting, it is still a piece of art. The sheer dimensions of this piece are astounding. The fact that he spent four years in creating this masterpiece is even more astounding. The piece is a perfect piece of art.
