David introduces some great exercises for callus development and finger independence. Taught by David Wallimann in Basic Electric Guitar with David Wallimann seriesLength: 10:54Difficulty: 1.5 of 5 When you begin playing guitar, you will likely find your fingertips hurting frequently. |
It is important to develop calluses, or hardened skin, on the fingertips so that it doesn’t hurt to play the guitar. You will learn some exercises in this lesson to help you build calluses.Scene 2: Finger Exercises Here is an |
exercise that will not only help you build calluses on your fingertips, but will help you with finger strength and coordination. Remember that it is normal for it to hurt in the beginning and it’s ok to take a break |
if you need to. Start by assigning a fret to each finger of your left hand. The index finger will play the 1st fret, the middle finger will play the 2nd fret, the ring finger will play the 3rd fret, |
and the pinky will play the 4th fret. Start on the 6th string and play the pattern 1 2 3 4. Then play the same pattern on each string until you work your way to the 4th fret on the |
1st string. Now do the same thing in reverse: start on the 1st string playing the pattern 4 3 2 1. Play that pattern down each string until you reach the 1st fret on the 6th string. Focus on plucking |
the string with the right hand at the exact same time as you put your finger down with the left hand. Also, when you play a note, try to visualize the next note you are going to play on the |
fretboard.Scene 3: Finger independence The following exercise is similar to the last one, but will help you master controlling each finger independently. Start by assigning the same fingers to the same frets as you did in the previous exercise. Play |
the pattern 1 2 on each string, starting at the 6th string going up to the 1st string. Then play the same pattern (1 2) in reverse: start at the 1st string and go down to the 6th string. Next |
play the pattern 2 1 on each string from the 6th to the 1st. Then play 2 1 on each string from the 1st to the 6th. Try doing this exercise with every combination of two fingers possible. Don’t worry |
about going fast, just make sure you are getting a good tone on every note that you play.Scene 4: Final Thoughts Since a major goal of these exercises is to promote callus development on the fingers, it is normal for |
it to be painful at first. There’s no need to overdo it; take a break if your fingers hurt too bad. You are also trying to build the muscles in your hands and fingers, so drink some water and take |
a break if your muscles are feeling tense. They will get stronger with practice. David Wallimann will start you on your electric guitar playing journey in this Phase 1 series. David Wallimann introduces himself, talks about his background, and offers |

in Aix-en-Provence, South France in 1977. At the age of 15, he picked up the guitar and started developing a true love for instrumental music and composition. In 1999 he was recognized by Ibanez for his promising musical achievements and |
received an artist endorsement. That early recognition in David's musical career encouraged him to consecrate more time on crafting his musical art and apply to the school of modern music Artist' in Cavaillon, France. He received a full scholarship there |
where he graduated with honors. In 2001, David won first place for the Tal Farlow French national jazz contest which gave him a full paid scholarship to the CMA school of modern music in Valenciennes, France. He graduated specializing in |
advance guitar with honors. Following his school years, David spent the next 5 years working with several bands recording, writing and playing shows in France and Belgium. It's during that time that Wallimann was exposed to the world of progressive |
rock which opened new doors to his musical creativity. Deep inside the Mind is his first release as a solo artist in which he exposes his Christian faith. The album was well received in the specialized press and was compared |
several times to some of Frank Zappa's approach to music adding an element of humor to deep subjects. In 2005 he joined the internationally renown progressive band Glass Hammer based in Chattanooga, TN. He released several studio albums and live |
DVDs with the band. David is today working on his next upcoming solo release and is also spending quite a bit of time teaching guitar in his studio and online at JamPlay. Our acoustic guitar lessons are taught by qualified |

EPHRAIM SOLOMON BEN AARON OF LENCZIZA: Rabbi and popular preacher at Prague; born probably at Lencziza, Poland; died at Prague March 3, 1619. After having filled the office of rosh yeshibah at Lemberg, he was appointed in 1604 rabbi of |
Prague, and remained in this position until 1618. Ephraim was the author of the following works: "'Ir Gibborim," in three parts, the first, entitled "Petiḥot u-Shẹ'arim," containing a rhetorical introduction and an ethical treatise, and the second and the third |

At 8:30 a.m. Pacific time today, NASA's 2001 Mars Odyssey spacecraft passed the halfway point on its journey to Mars. It has been 100 days since Odyssey's launch and 100 days remain until it arrives at the red planet. "Odyssey is now closer to Mars than Earth. The spacecraft is |
healthy and all systems are looking good," said David A. Spencer, the Odyssey mission manager at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. "Planning for Mars approach and orbit insertion in October is our primary focus right now." The navigation team reports the spacecraft is right on course. To date, the Deep Space |
Network has taken 11 separate measurements using the so-called delta differential one-way range measurement, a technique that uses two ground stations to determine the angular position of the spacecraft relative to the known position of a quasar. The measurements provide the navigation team with an additional source of... |
confidence to their estimates of the Odyssey flight path. Today, Odyssey is 45.8 million kilometers (about 28.5 million miles) from Earth and 30 million kilometers (about 19 million miles) from Mars, traveling at a velocity of 26 kilometers per second (58,000 miles per hour) relative to the Sun. The Mars |
Odyssey mission is managed by JPL for NASA's Office of Space Science, Washington, D.C. JPL is a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. The Odyssey spacecraft was built by Lockheed Martin Astronautics, Denver. |
Tuesday, Feb. 14, 2012 History in pieces: Human ecology textiles expert goes on road to identify African-American treasures for Smithsonian project MANHATTAN -- As the nation celebrates Black History Month, one Kansas State University expert is doing her part to |
identify treasured pieces of African-American history one textile at a time. When the Smithsonian Institution launched "Save Our African-American Treasures," the staff called Marla Day, curator of the Historic Costume and Textile Collection at the university's College of Human Ecology. |
They needed her expertise to help appraise and explain potential textile treasures brought in during a series of "Antiques Roadshow"-type events. Day has traveled to Detroit, Dallas, Topeka and Houston thus far, with a trip to New York City in |
the works. She has examined quilts, peeked in pockets, checked out articles of clothing and cradled rag dolls, looking at hundreds of textile objects. "We don't put values on the objects," Day said. "We try to help people understand what |
the object is and how to preserve it." Often she packed the item in archival, acid-proof paper before handing it back. "Most wanted to know the history of the object," she said. The mission of the program is to raise |
awareness about how important family heirlooms are in telling the story of African-American history and to provide information about how to care for them, according to the Smithsonian. While Day and several others examined textiles brought to the sites, other |
experts looked at objects, photographs, papers and books. "I love interacting with the people, talking with them about the treasures they brought in," Day said. "Sometimes they were clueless about they had. When I could give them a piece of |
information they didn't have about the treasure, they saw the object in a new, fresh perspective. I could help them learn more about their families." In Houston in October 2011, the textiles group saw lots of quilts and crocheted pieces, |
a few dolls and some clothing. One person brought in a Black Sox uniform. The Black Sox was a professional team from Baltimore that won the American Negro League championship in 1929. Several of the quilts had new tops and |
backs sewn on older worn-out quilts. This recycling was common in the 19th century, Day said. One woman brought in a quilt obviously made from scraps of fabric that were well worn. Some of the scraps were patched. "She told |
me that she came from a large, poor family and her mother wasted nothing, not even fabric with holes worn in it," Day said. "The holes were carefully matched with patches so they were hardly noticeable and the edges were |
neatly turned under with her tiny hand stitches. "I showed her how the quilt was actually two quilts, the second layer was probably infant and baby blankets. It was lovely to help her discover more of her family stories, to |
piece together memories of living with mother and how she made do." In Houston, Day worked with Renee Anderson, museum specialist with the Smithsonian National Museum of African-American History and Culture, and Mary Ballard, senior textiles conservator with the Museum |
Conservation Institute, Smithsonian Institution. "I loved working with other professionals in the museum field," Day said. "It was a great network of people and I was representing K-State to that community." |
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Groundbreaking pollster George Gallup may be known for founding the survey organization that tracks people's opinions on the president, but he began his career with a more personal concern: getting his mother-in-law elected to statewide office.

of Florida and the Caribbean" Bartolomé de Las Casas Priest, missionary, landholder, fighter, writer and historian. Once a slave owner, then defender of the rights of native peoples, Bartolomé de Las Casas was a complex man who lived almost a century. Born in 1474 in Spain, Las Casas was the |
son of a merchant who had traveled with Columbus to the West Indies. Following his education at the University of Salamanca, Las Casas first became a lawyer, but in 1502, at the age of 28, he gave up his law practice and sailed to Hispaniola. He worked for the colonial |
governor first in Santo Domingo, then in Cuba. In 1512 he became the first person in America to be ordained a priest, but that didnt stop him from taking part in the brutal conquest of Cuba. For his service in several expeditions, Las Casas was awarded an encomienda, a royal |
grant of land including Native American slaves. Not long after, Las Casas began to rebel against the abusive practices of Europeans governing American lands and people. He knew firsthand the killing, capture and enslavement of native people and began a crusade to improve conditions and especially to abolish Native Amer... |
slavery. He abandoned his own encomienda in 1514 and sailed back to Spain to appeal directly to King Charles V on the Native Americans behalf. He was named the official Protector of the Indians and spent the rest of his long life championing their interests. In 1520 he tried without |
success to establish a colony on the coast of Venezuela. He livedfor a while in Mexico and Guatemala and in 1544 at age 70 was named Bishop of Chiapas. He returned to Spain in 1547, but continued to plead the cause of Native Americans in prolific writings. Las Casas died |
in 1566 at the age of 92. Las Casas writings are significant, including the first full account of the Spanish conquest, his History of the Indies. He is most famous for his Brevísima relación de la destrucción de las Indias (Brief Account of the Destruction of the Indians) a short |
tract condemning the Spanish treatment of the Indians. Las Casas described atrocities committed by the conquistadors and documented the genocide that had taken place. The work was published in 1552 in Spain and quickly translated and circulated throughout Europe. It became the basis for the incriminating "Black Legend,... |
