Michael Jackson Tribute

Jul 2nd

Here is a video from Michael Jackson’s Performence Of Billie Jean-In 2001-30th Anniversary Special.

Despite all the controversies throughout his career, Michael Jackson was, is, and always will be a legend in the music industry, an icon whose beats, rhythm and lyrics resonate with people from all over the World.

“Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer and businessman. The seventh child of the Jackson family, he made his debut on the professional music scene in 1968 as a member of The Jackson 5. He then began a solo career in 1971 while still a member of the group and was referred to as the “King of Pop“^[1] in subsequent years. Jackson’s 1982 albumThriller remains the world’s best-selling album of all time,^[2] and four of his other solo studio albums are among the world’s best-selling records: Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995).”

Walla! Here’s another classic classical piece. It’s less well known then Canon in D, but Im sure many of you have heard of it somewhere before. B-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l piece!

“The Air on the G String is an adaptation of Johann Sebastian Bach’s famous Air. The air is usually played slowly and freely, and features an intertwining harmony and melody.” – Wikipedia

Once again, here are the guitar tabs for Air on the G String for you to practise.

Here is a slightly more challenging transcription as compared to many other available tabs of this song out there.

No, Pavarotti wasn’t a guitarist, but he was a music legend nonetheless. Goodbye big guy, you will be missed.
Read more about Luciano Pavarotti here.

Watch this brilliant performance, how the music reaches out with every movement of his lips, with every twitch of his eyebrows. Oh man, need I say more?

A Change of Seasons – Dream Theater

Came across this piece by Dream Theater many years ago when I downloaded it by accident. And till this day, it still remains as one of my all-time favourite song – A song that changes from one “season” to another, hence the title A Change of Seasons.

“Dream Theater was formed in 1985 under the name “Majesty” by Petrucci, Myung, and Portnoy, while they all were studying at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, before dropping out to help support the band. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remain today along with LaBrie and Rudess. Dream Theater has become one of the most commercially successful progressive bands since the height of progressive rock in the mid-1970s, despite being relatively unknown in mainstream rock circles. Though the band has had a few extremely successful hits (notably ‘Pull Me Under‘ in the early 1990s, which had extensive MTV rotation), it has mostly stayed underground for its career, feeding off support from fans.” - Wikipedia

It’s approximately 20 minutes long, but with the technical proficiency displayed by each member, my guess is that you’ll be savouring every drop of it.

Every single drop.
