About Guitar
Tuning Your Guitar In this fourth lesson, you will learn step-by-step instructions for tuning your guitar as well as standard tuning techniques.
Tuning the guitar is critical, because nothing you play will sound “right” if the guitar is not in tune. If your guitar is out of tune or tuned incorrectly it will make a perfectly constructed chord sound bad.
There are many ways to tune your guitar:
1. With an electronic tuner2. With tuning software3. By ear with a tuning fork4. By ear with another guitar or reference note
The easiest and most accurate way to tune your guitar is with an electronic tuner or with tuning software. Electronic tuners typically work for both acoustic or electric guitars, although this is not always the case. An acoustic guitar tuner will have a built in mic, to pick up the sound. Electric guitar tuners usually have a 1/4” instrument cable input for the guitar. Most tuners have both a built in mic and a 1/4” instrument cable input. We highly recommend that you purchase an electronic tuner, such as the Boss TU-15 Chromatic Tuner.
There is also some great free or inexpensive software available for tuning the guitar. Most software tuning products range in cost from $10 to $20 and work with standard computer sound cards and microphones.
Although electronic tuners and software tuners are great tools, we suggest that you learn to tune your guitar by ear to a reference note. This will help you to train your ear, so you can quickly tune during a live performance or when you don’t have an electronic tuner nearby.
You can also try tuning with a tuning fork. A tuning fork will provide you with a reference tone. You can purchase tuning forks at any musical instrument retailer. The most common tuning fork for guitarists generates an A (440) reference tone, so you can tune the 5th string (A). In order to generate a tone with the tuning fork, you should lightly tap it against a hard surface and then press the non-forked end against the body of your guitar. This will cause the tone to resonate throughout the guitar body, so that it is louder.
Tune your 5th string to the A tuning fork’s tone by picking the “open” 5th (A) string (“open” means that you just play the string without pressing down on any frets) while listening to the tone of the tuning fork. Adjust the tuning key for your 5th string by turning it in either direction until the tone of the picked string and the tuning fork are identical.
Once your 5th string is in tune, you can tune all the rest of the strings on your guitar. Start with the 6th (E) string. This is the fattest string of the six. It’s also the string at the top of the guitar (See figure 3 for reference).
Press your index finger on the 5th fret, 6th string. Make sure that you press firmly and that your index finger is close to the edge of the fret, almost touching it. If your string is buzzing as you pick it, then either you are not pressing firmly enough, or your finger is not positioned close enough to the edge of the fret.
Pick the 6th string with your index finger pressing down on the 5th fret 6th string and then pick the “open” 5th (A) string. Compare the two tones. The pitch of the 5th fret, 6th string should be the same sound as the open 5th (A) string. If it is not the exact same sound then turn the 6th string’s tuning key so that the sound is the same. Now your 6th and 5th string are tuned.
Repeat this step, but this time place your index finger on the 5th fret of the 5th string. Pick that string and then pick the open 4th string. They should sound the same. If they don’t, then turn the tuning key for the 4th string so that the 4th string sounds like the 5th. Be careful to turn the correct tuning key.
Continue the same process from the 4th string to the third string. When you get to tuning the second string there is a slight change. To tune the 2nd (B) string, place your index finger on the 4th fret, 3rd string (instead of the 5th fret). Now pick the 3rd string and then pick the second string. If the second string does not sound like the third then turn the second string’s tuning key so that the second string sounds like the 3rd.
Finally, for the 1st (E) string, move your index finger back to the 5th fret on the second string. Then pick the 2nd and 1st strings. The open 1st string should sound exactly like the 5th fret, 2nd string. If it doesn’t then turn the 1st string’s tuning key so that it sounds like the second string.
Ok that is probably going to be the toughest part of learning to play guitar. We recommend you buy an electronic tuner, but knowing how to tune the guitar by ear will be extremely valuable, especially in live playing situations or at times when you don’t have access to a guitar tuner.
Basic Chords In this fifth lesson, you will how to construct and play the most popular chords, which are the building blocks for playing many songs.
Now for the fun stuff. In this section we will teach you the basic chords you need to know to play the songs you love. So let’s get started!
Before we move on to chord construction, here are some basic tips that will help you sound better.
1. Press firmlyBe sure you press each finger down so that it firmly presses the string against the fretboard. This will ensure the sound of the string is clean and does not buzz. If you don’t push the string down hard enough you will hear a buzzing or a muffled sound.
2. Close to the fretIn general (this is not always the case), make sure that your finger is as close to the fret as possible without actually touching the fret. This will ensure that the string does not buzz or sound muffled when played.
3. One finger per stringBe sure that only one finger touches each string. Often times you will find one finger slightly touching a neighboring string. This is particularly common with the more difficult chords (like the G major chord). This is one other cause of muffled or buzzing strings. Take some time after constructing the chord to make sure that each finger is only touching the necessary strings and not resting on neighboring strings.
4. RelaxRelax your hand so that it is comfortable when constructing the chord. Re-position your wrist for each chord so that you are comfortable and so that your fingers can sustain their position (without cramping) while you strum.
In the following section you will find pictures and videos (downloadable from the iPlayMusic website) that explain the finger placement for 3 chords: A major, G major, and D major.
These are three of the most widely used chords in popular songs today.
By learning to play just these three chords you will know the building blocks of many popular songs by some of the biggest recording artists.
Look at each chord diagram closely. Spend some time positioning your fingers to look like the images. Try constructing these chords yourself, strumming them, and listening to how they sound.
If you are having trouble, don’t panic. Just play the chord videos to watch the instructor construct the chords step by step.
A Major
G Major
D Major
Strumming Patterns In this sixth lesson, you will see how with just a few chords and strumming pattern combinations in your repertoire you will be well on your way to playing popular songs.
In this section you will learn how to play two popular strumming patterns.
A strumming pattern consists of down strokes and up strokes.
A down stroke is played by strumming the guitar strings from the top of the guitar to the bottom – or from the 6th (low E) string to the 1st (high E) string. We will represent a down stroke with a down arrow.
An up stroke is played by strumming the guitar strings from the bottom of the guitar to the top – or from the 1st (high E) string to the 6th (low E) string. We will represent an up stroke with an up arrow:
Remember to think of your strumming hand as a windshield wiper, or a pendulum. A dashed arrow will represent the direction your arm should be moving as you swing your arm up and down without hitting the strings.
If you need further instruction or these concepts seem a bit confusing, please watch the “Strumming Basics” video and then make sure to watch the videos at the end of this section for an in-depth explanation of each pattern from the instructor.
With just the following two strumming patterns you will have the ability to play many popular songs. Let’s get started.
Strumming pattern one
Strumming pattern one is a very classic strumming pattern that can be used to play a number of songs.
Strumming pattern: Down, Down, up, up, down, up.
Try strumming pattern one with any of the three chords you’ve already learned.
If you need further instruction on strumming pattern one, please watch the video for an explanation from the instructor.
Strumming pattern two
Strumming pattern two is a slight variation on strumming pattern one, because it adds one up stroke and introduces a “swing” feel to the pattern.
Strumming pattern : Down, up, down, up, up, down, up.
Again, try strumming pattern two with any of the three chords you’ve already learned.
Tuning the guitar is critical, because nothing you play will sound “right” if the guitar is not in tune. If your guitar is out of tune or tuned incorrectly it will make a perfectly constructed chord sound bad.

Culture of our politics
Culture of our politics
Today I have mate with some young people, there average age is 14 years old. Maximum persons have mobile phone and they describing there heroic story that the write some time before. A wild 40 years leader is hearing these with proud manner. They claimed that they are member of Awamilig. I can't believe that they are fighting for democracy but there thinking is not near about democracy. Bangladeshi political parties did not behave wisely as they should have to behave. 14 years old young group are taking tea in tea stall. Some of the boys are known to me and they respect me because some of the boys who there elder brother are my friend. I ask them why you have got that kind of passage. Why you guy bitten up your opposition? But they did not have any sweet-able answer. They only answer me that last five year they were king everywhere. Now we are. So we have right to do every thing. BNP will do same think when they will come to the act in government.

A wild time passing
Democracy is a very sweet sound to hear. We have been listening from 15 or 17 years about democracy that it is growing up. But where that is? There is not any condition to prove that we are improving to practice democracy properly. How it will be improve. Political leaders are using this topics by there way. Every body want to keep there place high and they want to grab the position for ever. Peoples did not have any power except execute there vote and help to pass a political party for 5 years. And after passing the exam political party forgets the people who give them vote to pass the situation. We fill shame to hear some unnecessary debates in the National parliament.

Dirty politics
Bangladeshi common People are always hopeful. They thought it will change what they are looking dirty practice around them. Politicians are always talking but they are not doing anything according to there promise. Peoples are looking towards them they are not looking to the people.They have been talking about democracy. But it is only for table talk.
When Bangladeshi assembly sit on then we have paid lots of money. Parliament members are talking there as an illiterate people. They are always talking to west time they are talking about nothing. Peoples are giving them mended by the great hope. Politicians are roaring and insulting peoples thought. When they have got the power than utilize it wrong way. Busy to changing name of the Building, Bridges and others. They did not make any difference between political party and government. They use government serving purpose of political party. Student politics is another sweetest problem of our society. Political parties are using them badly. Lots of innocent students are suffered by the student politics and sometimes student have been killed by the another student political party.
Where it will go? Government did not think it is his duty to save life. But our home minister commented on this matter as childish. She did not make difference with political party and government. She should be more careful about her comment. As a minister you did not have permission to talk anything. This is not the stage of political party.
Sometimes we are been so hopeful and sometimes we are not. We have dream bad dream. Government is responsible to convert this as a good dream. It is time to take responsibility to change our time, change our nation. So don't west the time during parliament talking for nothing. We should look forward.

A Beauty of Bangladesh "Sundarbans"
The Sundarbans is the largest single block of tidal halophytic mangrove forest in the world.The name Sundarban can be literally translated as "beautiful jungle" or "beautiful forest" in the Bengali language (Sundar, "beautiful" and ban, "forest" or "jungle"). The name may have been derived from the Sundari trees that are found in Sundarbans in large numbers. Alternatively, it has been proposed that the name is a corruption of Samudraban or Chandra-bandhe (name of a primitive tribe). But the generally accepted view is the one associated with Sundari trees.
The forest lies at the feet of the Ganges and is spread across areas of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India, forming the seaward fringe of the delta. The seasonally-flooded Sundarbans freshwater swamp forests lie inland from the mangrove forests. The forest covers 10,000 km2 of which about 6,000 are in Bangladesh. It became inscribed as a UNESCO world heritage site in 1997, but whiles the Bangladeshi and Indian portions constitute the same continuous ecotype, these are separately listed in the UNESCO world heritage list as the Sundarbans and Sundarbans National Park, respectively. The Sundarbans is intersected by a complex network of tidal waterways, mudflats and small islands of salt-tolerant mangrove forests. The area is known for the eponymous Royal Bengal Tiger (Panthera tigris tigris), as well as numerous fauna including species of birds, spotted deer, crocodiles and snakes. It is estimated that there are now 500 Bengal tigers and about 30,000 spotted deer in the area. Sundarbans was designated a Ramsar site on May 21, 1992. The fertile soils of the delta have been subject to intensive human use for centuries, and the ecoregion has been mostly converted to intensive agriculture, with few enclaves of forest remaining. The remaining forests, together with the Sundarbans mangroves, are important habitat for the endangered tiger. Additionally, the Sundarbans serves a crucial function as a protective flood barrier for the millions of inhabitants in and around Kolkata (Calcutta) against the result of cyclone activity.

Language Movement Day
Language Movement Day is a unique part of the culture of Bangladesh. Every year on February 21 this day is observed to pay tribute to the martyrs who sacrificed their lives to establish Bengali as the official language of then East Pakistan in 1952. The mood of the day is sad and humble.
The celebration of Language Movement Day goes on the entire month of February. Ekushey Book Fair is a book fair arranged to mark this occasion every year. The fair has also become an integral part of the culture of Bangladesh. Authors and readers in Bangladesh eagerly await the fair each year.
To commemorate this movement, Shaheed Minar, a solemn and symbolic sculpture, was erected in the place of the massacre. Today the Shaheed Minar is the centre of cultural activities in Dhaka. On the morning of February 21 each year, people from all walks of life including the national leaders pay tribute to the martyrs by leaving flowers at Shaheed Minar. A very melodious and melancholy song, Amar Bhaier Rokte Rangano, written by Abdul Gaffar Choudhury and composed by Altaf Mahmud, is played repeatedly in electronic media and cultural gatherings throughout the month, and especially on February 21. This song, too, has become a symbolic mark of culture of Bangladesh.

This song, too, has become a symbolic mark of culture of Bangladesh.
Music, dance, drama and film
Music and dance style of Bangladesh may be divided into three categories, namely, the classical, folk and the modern. The classical style has been influenced by other prevalent classical forms of music and dances of the Indian subcontinent, and accordingly show some influences dance forms like Bharata Natyam and Kuchipudi. The folk and tribal music and dance forms of Bangladesh are of indigenous origin and rooted to the soil of Bangladesh. Several dancing styles in vogue in the north-eastern part of the Indian subcontinent, like Monipuri and Santal dances, are also practiced in Bangladesh, but Bangladesh has developed its own distinct dancing styles, e.g. Nitoshilpi.
Bangladesh has a rich tradition of folk songs, with lyrics rooted into vibrant tradition and spirituality, mysticism and devotion. Such folk songs also revolve round several other themes, including love themes. Most prevalent of folk songs and music traditions include Bhatiali, Baul, Marfati, Murshidi and Bhawaiya. Lyricists like Lalon Shah, Hason Raja, Kangal Harinath, Romesh Shill, Abbas Uddin, Jalal Kha, Roshid Uddin, Ukil Munshi, Sha Abdul Korim and many unknown anonymous lyrists have enriched the tradition of folk songs of Bangladesh.
In relatively modern context, Rabindra Sangeet and Nazrul geeti form precious cultural heritage of Bangladesh. In recent time, western influences have given rise to several quality rock bands, particularly in urban centers like Dhaka.
Several musical instruments, some of them of indigenous origin, are used in Bangladesh, and major musical instruments used are bamboo flute (banshi), drums (dole), a single stringed instrument named ektara, a four stringed instrument called dotara, a pair of metal bawls used for rhythm effect called mandira. Currently, several musical instruments of western origin like guitar, drums, and saxophone are also used, sometimes alongside the traditional instruments.
Bangladesh has a history
Bangladesh has a history. The land, the rivers and the lives of the common people formed a rich heritage with marked differences from neighboring regions. It has evolved over the centuries and encompasses the cultural diversity of several social groups of Bangladesh.
Bangladesh is also a needy country. The culture of Bangladesh is composite and over centuries has assimilated influences of Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity. It is manifested in various forms, including music, dance and drama; art and craft; folklore and folktales; languages and literature, philosophy and religion, festivals and celebrations, as also in a distinct cuisine and culinary tradition.
