In Concert at GuitarLand


On Classical guitar, Mike Sult performs Canarios by Gaspar Sanz (1640-1710)

This version of a popular Spanish dance form was originally published in Sanz's Instruccion de Musica Sobre la Guitarra Espanola, which hit the streets in 1674. Of particular interest are the 6/8 vs. 3/4 cross rhythms that are sprinkled throughout the composition.

The Web. It ain't rocket science.

From: GuitarLand park rangers:

We believe in the current age it is a good idea for all citizens to become more educated in the basic concepts used in web programming. It isn't all that complex when you break it all down. Communication via the web is so important that society as a whole shouldn't solely rely on the sub-group of computer programmers to be the only ones who know how this magic works. The more we regular folks in all fields know about the core building blocks of the web such as html, css, javascript and other web technologies the less we need to rely on web giants such as facebook, google, etc. to use the web. We know that the web giants track our every click but they also probably own everything you write on their platform (have you ever read their terms of service agreements?). We shouldn't let our communication be filtered through the algorithms of the web giants. There is an enormous amount of educational material regarding web technology freely available (and they might track your clicks, who knows?). We recommend the following introductory lessons on building simple web pages with your bare hands. It's fun to learn and it might turn into your favorite hobby.
