The guitar

2012-01-25T14:46:00.000-08:00

I will present you a musical instrument that I like to play: the guitar. It is a string instrument usually played with fingers or with a pick. There are two primary families of guitar: acoustic guitar and electric guitar.

An acoustic guitar has a wood body. The sound is produced by the vibration of the strings and the body act as a resonating chamber.

An electric guitar is normally connected to an amplifier. With the amplifier, you can electronically change the tone to get different sounds.

Guitars are recognized as the primary instrument in many genres like blues, bluegrass, country, flamenco, jazz, jota, mariachi, metal, reggae, rock, soul, and many forms of pop.

A really good movie!

2011-12-22T10:41:00.000-08:00

Two weeks ago, I go see a movie with a friend. The name of this movie is: Immortals. I really liked this movie because there is a lot of action and the story is very interesting. It talks about a bad King named Hyperion who is in search of a very powerful weapon that will destroy humanity. The main character is named Theseus, his mission is to raise an army and fight Hyperion to save the world.
