Line 6 Extends The Acclaimed Dream Rig with Free James Tyler Variax® v1.8 and POD® HD v2.0 Updates

ANAHEIM, Calif. (PRWEB) January 19, 2012

Line 6, Inc. (NAMM room 212A/B) the industry leader in digital audio technology for musicians and audio professionals, announces free updates for James Tyler Variax® modeling guitars and POD® HD multi-effects that give users incredible new features and enhanced integration.

Soon to be downloadable for free on line6.com, JTV firmware v1.8 for the James Tyler Variax series features spectacular updates to the guitar’s five acoustic models and enhanced functionality when the guitar is connected to a POD HD500 or POD HD Pro multi-effect processor.

Benefitting from new breakthrough acoustic guitar modeling technology developed by Line 6, the updated models offer breathtaking depth and detail. Capturing the subtle nuances of string vibration through the soundboard and the tone woods of the guitar body, the models provide an unparalleled acoustic guitar playing experience. The updated models are based on* the Martin® D28, Martin® D12-28, Martin® 0-18, Guild® 12 String, and Gibson® J200 acoustic guitars.

Also soon to be downloadable for free on line6.com, new POD HD v2.0 firmware update for POD HD Pro and POD HD500 includes three brand-new HD amp models that dramatically expand the POD HD family’s sonic palette and extend the award-winning Line 6 HD modeling technology to bass amps and mic pre-amps. First up is the world’s very first HD bass amp model based on* an Ampeg® B-15NF Portaflex®, one of the most popular studio bass amps of all time. Next is a stunning new HD guitar amp model based on* the legendary Marshall® “Plexi” 1959 Super Lead 100-watt head. The third new HD model is based on* the classic tube goodness of the Requisite® Y7 mic preamp, which can be placed at any point in the signal chain to give incredible warmth to guitars, bass or vocal sounds.

In addition, the free updates contain a host of new features that flourish when a JTV guitar and a POD HD500 or POD HD Pro are connected directly to a Line 6 DT-series boutique tube amplifier. The result is complete, full-scale, analog and digital reconfiguration of guitar models, effects, HD amplifier models and analog tube topology with the press of a single footswitch.

New enhancements to this dream guitar rig include the ability to use POD HD500 or POD HD Pro presets to engage/disengage the JTV guitar’s onboard Variax modeling, allowing footswitch control over magnetic pickups, guitar models and the combination of the two. Additionally, the guitar’s volume and tone knobs can now control the POD amp model and effect parameters, opening up new avenues for performance expression. Alternate tunings can be saved together with POD HD500 or POD HD Pro presets allowing up to 512 unique custom guitar tunings with instant footswitch control.

Featuring the finely crafted James Taylor Variax guitar, revolutionary POD HD multi-effects unit, and cutting-edge tube amplifier, the Line 6 dream rig delivers unparalleled versatility and authenticity.

Easy Rock guitar lessons

I will assume that if you are reading this than you already have a guitar. This rock guitar lesson is intended for people who are just learning the basics to playing the guitar. I am going to tell you the four most basic aspects of the guitar. If your look at your guitar you will see that it has strings.The next step is tuning the strings. The Last two steps are tabs and scales.

The first step is learning the strings. If you are looking down at your guitar now the top string which has the lowest pitch is the e string. The next four strings are A,D,G,B,E. The top and the bottom strings are e because it is different octanes. The top e is a lower pitch octane while the bottom is a higher pitch octane.

The next step is learning how to tune your guitar. Tuning a guitar is one of the most difficult beginners steps. I would suggest buying an electric tuner or finding a way to tune your guitar by ear is the best way.

The third step is learning how to play tabluture (tabs). Guitar tabs is a quick way to learning most of your favorite riffs. The ones you want to focus on are usually bands that inspire you. There are many different types of music that use the guitar as an instrument, so the bands that inspire you is different for everyone else.

The last step to this quick and easy rock guitar lesson is learning scales. Scales are the different types of melodies that can be acquired from the guitar whether it is acoustic or electric. For example there is the blues scale the pentatonic scale and hundreds more that i frankly don’t have the time to type out. Guitar scales are something you want to look into if you are interest in learning to make up your own music. If you are interested in learning to play riffs from inspired bands than i suggest you check out guitar tabs. You need to know how to play guitar tabs before learning how to play scales. There are many easy rock guitar lessons out there that can teach you all the tips and techniques to guitar tabs and scales. Some can even teach you how to play note music which is something i am still not familiar with.

These are just the basics of a rock guitar lesson. There is much more advanced stuff such as string bends, hammer ons, pull offs, alternative picking, tremelo picking,slides,sweeping etc. These are the most advance techniques that only most professionals know. Most people seemed to get overwhelmed with this and that is were they give up. The best solution i can give you is to find a tutor or maybe asking a friend.

Thank you. My name is Cameron Johnson. I have always had a passion for the musical instrument the guitar. I also have a interest in different rock guitar lessons, guitar accessories, and electric guitar amps. It has took me almost five years to learn all the tips and techniques. I would like to see if i can teach people faster than that.

We live in a digital age that delivers movies, games and music in a great all-in-one digital pipeline, the Internet. Learning to play the guitar is now just away from a few easy guitar lessons online or a few videos from a guitar lesson DVD. And once you have mastered the basics, going specifically into genres of music like rock guitar lessons or country guitar lessons is widely available online. On top of that, social networking and community sites have made it easier for aspiring guitarists to trade tips and answer each other’s questions.

But before you jump in and spend your hard-earned cash on random online courses, there are still a few things to look out for. You’ll want to avoid getting scammed by beginner guitar lessons that have an impressive website but have no real testimonials or videos giving a positive hint that they do, in fact, know a thing or two. Here are some tips before you make your purchase:

First off, find a website that actually is run by a professional guitarist. Make sure he or she has a name and that the website’s branding is focused on the person and not on a generic brand. Do a Google search to make sure that good reviews or articles about him or her. Very often, there are guitar lesson websites that market their brand without saying who is actually going to be the teacher will be actually guiding you along. Try to find some YouTube videos of him actually playing the guitar so you know he is capable.

Next, although online beginner guitar lessons are cheaper online compared to weekly tuition with a guitar teacher, do not be too enthusiastic about paying the absolute minimum. Do up a comparison chart measuring each selected lesson against each other. Sometimes, you are actually paying extra money for additional benefits in terms of course materials or lessons. Make sure you read reviews extensively to get feel of the online community’s impression of it. You cannot go wrong if a lot of other new guitarists find it useful.

The fastest way may not also be the best. Do not be a prey to online courses that promise that you will master the guitar in 1 day. More often not, it is just an exaggeration. Instead, keep a lookout for the lesson plan to make sure course materials are spaced out nicely and cover the foundation.
