David Guetta "new single"

David Guetta will remix his song "Gettin' Over" and make it "Gettin' Over You"(yes, weird but it's true). This new rendition of David Guetta's song will be officially published in April 13 (2 days before Martin and Christian's birthday, and 3 days before Caio's birthday, maybe David Guetta did that as a pre-birthday gift... maybe...). For the voices of the song: Fergie, Chris Willis, and LMFAO will be participating; their voices will certainly spice the song up. The old song "Gettin' Over"was on the latest album called One Love which contained most of his new famous songs (very good cd... buy it =] ). Fortunately the song has already been published on Youtube so I can post it here.

David Guetta ft. Fergie, Chris Willis, and LMFAO


my opinion:
great song!

B.B King in São Paulo

it was once said that B.B King was going to retire, but he has decided to play until his age won't permit him. B.B king a 84 year old blues men preformed live in Via funchal in são paulo this Saturday 20/03. His show was mostly a sit-down show from his part (well, we can't argue about that, he is 84 years old) but nevertheless, the great blues master can't be underestimated. he sung his famous songs and also was very kind and funny at times during the show. The show was 2 hours long, but he didn't sing the whole 2 hours. He talked a lot during this presentation, he was comic at times and sentimental at times saying that 3 years away from Brazil was too long. At the end the show was a success and all his fans went crazy with his marvelous, extraordinary, original guitar skills.

my opinion:

i didn't get to go to his show but I wanted a lot. B.B King is one of the most influential blues men there ever was in history. He not only inspired amateur guitar players as he also inspired many famous players, such as John Mayer. He is a blues legend and is sad to say that he is nearly not playing anymore because at the age of 84 it is hard to travel around the world and give shows.

I-tab

The new I-tab is a revolutionary invention for guitar players. It is a tablet that is attachable to the top of your guitar ( the "head") and it displays all the chords, tablature (used for guitar solos or normal riffs [significant parts of songs]), and lyrics for a song. It is perfect for gigs, friendly reunions, and also solo learning. I-tab is also practical, it is a 5" touch screen with in-built speaker and headphones. Also, I-tab has a 4GB memory that gives you plenty of room to organise your songs into handy playlists and build your own song library.

My Opinion:
I, as a guitar player, think that this invention is very handy because when i am with my friends and they ask for a song i can immediately look at my i-tab ( if i had one =] ) and learn it and play it there. It looks funny when you look at the name"i"-tab but it has nothing to do with the Apple industries. I would love to have one but sadly it costs 200$ and it is only available in the US for now...

Roberto Carlos - O Calhambeque

(one of his most famous songs)


Roberto Carlos - Eu Sou Terrivel

(also one of his most famous songs)


My Opinion:

I think that this is a very prestigious exhibition, Roberto Carlos has made history in Brazil and it is very necessary to remember all his works during his 50 years of music. He was a role model in the old days and still is today. His songs are not my favorite but its always good to listen to the classics. Long live the king!
