Many of us wonder how to improve the sound of a kit guitar. One of the simplest and most effective ways to do this is by installing a new pickup assembly, available from numerous suppliers where guitar kits can be purchased. When searching for your new pre-wired pickup system, it’s important to look for quality in both the wiring and the components used. Installing a new pickup system only requires a few basic materials and some solder. These tools will enable you to remove the old pickup unit and install the new one in your instrument.

The majority of individuals feel extremely stressed out in the workplace to the point where they don’t even think it’s possible to feel relaxed on the job. “I don’t have enough time during my workday to relax!” I’m sure that’s what you’re thinking. In reality, no one has time; you need to create time to relax. Let’s take a moment to consider the “I don’t have time” mindset.

If you’re so busy with work that you don’t have time for anything else, then how in the world do you find time to eat, use the bathroom, or rest? You need to set your priorities. The amount of time we have each day remains constant, but it’s completely up to us how we utilize that time. Let’s say your boss at work assigns you an overwhelming amount of tasks with an impossible deadline. You work nonstop, become completely stressed and overwhelmed, and end up working overtime on the project, often turning in subpar work. Sound familiar?

The Great Age of Discovery

The remarkable Age of Discovery spanned from the mid-fifteenth century to the late sixteenth century. It was a time when European sailors embarked on explorations of the vast oceans for the first time.

It is difficult for us to grasp the level of fear and bravery these explorers possessed. Their knowledge of geography and the world was significantly less advanced compared to today. For instance, many believed that the Indian Ocean was a massive inland sea not connected to the Atlantic Ocean.

The oceans were thought to be inhabited by mythical sea creatures such as dragons and sea monsters. There were even tales of enormous water whirlpools that could swallow ships whole.

However, there were certain facts that the educated and experienced sailors of the time knew. They understood that the Earth was round, a truth that had been recognized since ancient times by various civilizations, including the Egyptians, Greeks, and Chinese.

The only misconception they had was regarding the size of the world. They underestimated its vastness by a significant margin. This is why Christopher Columbus believed he had sailed all the way to India when he reached the Americas. He and other explorers couldn’t fathom the existence of …

Astronauts

Today I create a new category, named 2009 Music Demos, where I’ll publish totally new music tracks made with the latest gears but with the same talent behind: myself 🙂

These tracks are demonstrations of my skills and creative ideas Creative Ideas (Part One) - Like the power of electricity your Ideas have greater impact when they rapidly flow in concentrated streams of thought. You'll find this and more in the article wrote by Deremiah, exclusively for ManuelMarino.com . Deremiah *CPE (Customer Passion Evangelist), is the winner of the 2004 Nightingale-Conant Acres of Diamonds Award and one of the top… and in each post I’ll explain the inspiration that moves them, the images (like the Astronauts) I would like you to see, while listening to them, and the feelings.

Astronauts and Funk Music

This first post is dedicated to big 80s space operas, movies, novels, astronauts and sci-fi culture. This is also a trip to old good 80s with their catchy rhythms, synths and guitars.

This first demo starts with a space choir, an opening orchestra and choir theme, I can say epic and grand, that creates images of galaxies, shuttles, astronauts and the infinity of the universe.

The choir …
