What is your opinion on the Spanish translations/voiceovers for kids movies?

I am talking about movies that are originally made in english, like Disney movies. Most of these come with a Spanish Language track on the DVD. Do you think that they sound normal when they talk to each other,or a little weird? I realize that they cannot put a lot of “slang” terms,because the slang is different depending on which country one comes from(ie.Spain,Mexico,Cuba,Chile,etc.). If someone was Learning Spanish, would you recommend using these movies as a learning tool?I was thinking that maybe to some people,the dialogue may sound peculiar,but perhaps not to other people. I would like to know what other Spanish speakers,(especially native speakers)have to say on this matter.Thanks.

Famous Guitar Players

Guitars are wonderful musical instruments that have inspired many music lovers to learn how to play them as much as possible. There are many guitarists who have been playing the guitar for years and are under the impression that they know much about playing the guitar. However, the fact is that even if one plays the guitar for decades, he will not reach the height that this instrument has to offer. This simply means that you can just keep learning to play the guitar and different techniques, and still keep wanting and discovering more.

Even the top world famous guitarists say that they have still learned nothing in their lives. However, there are some guitarists who have reached a respectable level of experimenting with the guitar playing skills and techniques. These guitarists have contributed a lot to the music industry. Let us take a look at a list of famous guitar players sorted according to the style of playing, types of guitar they play, and the genre of music they are into.

There have been many great guitarists whose talent with the instrument has created magic in the musical world. These greatest guitar players of all time have played the musical instrument so accurately and each of them have created a signature individual style. Many have found inspiration in their tunes and tried to master the art of guitar playing.

These men have an in-born talent that has the strings of the guitar stir out melodies beyond the widest imagination. These greatest guitarists have made their fans smile, cheer and even move them to tears when their fingers hit the strings. The following is a list of greatest guitar players of all time that does not claim to be definitive, but an effort to enlist some of the greatest guitarists of all time. The following top 10 greatest guitar players are some of the most popular guitarists worldwide.

Greatest guitar players of all time

<form> </form>

The greatest guitar player EVER as far as electric guitar – was, without a doubt, Jimi Hendrix. He could even play behind his back or with his tongue. His songs, notwithstanding his licks, made him famous to every college student in the 1960’s and seventies. Hendrix’s music burst forth from those not-so-hallowed halls of academia, where pot and incense mixed together to heighten everybody’s already altered senses. His death was untimely. He was so far ahead of his time that he naturally had to fight the forces of greedy record producers and other jealous guitarists who couldn’t even come close to, stand next to, touch his fire. Shortly after starting his own record company he died of an overdose.

As far as classical guitar playing – the most famous is Andrs Segovia, who achieved worldwide fame in his sixties. His Chaconne by J.S. Bach is incredible. A perfect interpretation of Renaissance music. Segovia’s renditions were technically flawless, smooth, effortless. His music and melodies captured the essential Spain – not the gritty side but the serene beauty, the timeless feel of a sophisticated Iberian sensibility.

At present, the greatest guitar players are mostly found in Spain. Almost no one can play like a Spaniard, unless they have some gypsy in their blood (as Hendrix). Go to a side-street bar late at night in Barcelona or Granada, Spain and hear Flamenco gypsies tear it up. These virtuosos jam on a Tarantas, Pasodobles, Farrucas, Rhumbas. Sometimes a woman Flamenco dancer will dance on a table, while the male guitarists belt-out a wail about a passionate love betrayed or lost -about revenge or racism and poverty. Their language in ancient, a Spanish at times unrecognizable to most people conversant in the language. It is CATALAN, Moorish-gypsy, deeply Catholic. This is terribly exciting music. Flamenco played by Spanish gypsies is so moving, with so much “duende” or feeling. Flamenco artists play it different each time, so it’s always alive, always creative. It’s never boring. Never the same. My absolutely favorite music group is the Gypsy Kings. I’ve seen them perform twice here in Albuquerque and we have their CD’s, DVD’s. Catch them when they come to your town. Not to be missed. Truly fabulous.

will the Spanish horror movie rec ever come out in theaters or dvd in north america?

the remake quarantine doesn’t interest me

At the moment, according to the IMDB it does not look like it at this time. I have a link to the list of the release dates down below. I’ve never heard of this before.
Maybe it will eventually. Considering they are making a remake of it, after the remake is released they might release the original over here. That is what happened with The Ring movies. The Ring (the American remake of the Japanese Horror film Ringu) was released here and then they released the original movie here as well on DVD.
If you cannot wait that long, there is always the alternative of buying an all region DVD player and buying a DVD from Spain (if you know Spanish) or from somewhere in the UK.

Classical Guitar Lesson #2: P stroke

Online Guitar Lessons: A Brief History of the Guitar

As early as the thirty-seventh century B. C., people have played the ancestors of the modern guitar.  Apparently, even the King of Thebes was an enthusiast of the plucked string instrument. A sculpture on his tomb gives us a three-dimensional view of this instrument, which bears a close resemblance to today’s guitar, having similarly curved sides. In another instance, a relief sculpture  found in Cappadocia, dated approximately 1000 B. C., portrays a fretted Egyptian instrument. Archaeologists have also uncovered evidence of ancient plucked instruments in Persia (modern-day Iran) and in Saudi Arabia.

Plucked instruments retained their popularity in the Middle Ages. People played two basic types during the medieval era: the Latin guitar and the Moorish guitar. A thirteenth-century manuscript, the “Cantigas de Santa Maria,” presumed to have been written by Spain’s Alfonso the Wise, features these instruments in detailed, intricate miniatures. One can see from these illustrations that the Latin guitar, in a figure eight shape, comes closer to the shape of the guitars that evolved in Spain and Italy.

The prototype of the modern-day guitar, the vihuela, became the favored instrument for serious musicians in early sixteenth-century Spain. Music for the vihuela, in fact, can be played on modern-day guitars with little change, since it has six pairs of strings, similar to the modern twelve-string guitar. Pairs of strings helped the instrument to produce a more vigorous sound. A large repertoire of music was written for the vihuela, in a special type of notation called “tablature.” Played with the fingers, the vihuela was tuned similarly to the Renaissance lute, which the rest of Europe believed to be “The King of Instruments.”

A smaller guitar-like instrument developed during this time. This four- and later five-stringed instrument helped to develop the Flamenco strumming style called rasgueado. Its strings, called courses, as well as its smaller size, made it an easier instrument to use for playing chords, as well as to accompany dances.

It was the vihuela, however, that lost favor as the sixteenth century came to an end. The smaller, more proletarian instrument survived–in its five-stringed version. This instrument was dubbed the “Spanish Guitar,” possibly to set it apart from the four-course instrument.  These instruments were also popular in Italy. In fact, an Italian player, Francesco Corbetta (1615 – 1681), published quite a few works in a finger style that took the instrument’s range of use well beyond playing chords as an accompaniment.  His playing became immensely popular. Eventually it became the fashionable music among French and English courtiers during the seventeenth century. Corbetta’s popularity introduced these countries to the guitar.

Robert de Visée (c. 1660–c. 1720), a talented Frenchman, played frequently for King Louis XIV, dedicating his entire collection of pieces composed during the year 1682 to the French monarch. During the same time period, the Spanish player and teacher, Gaspar Sanz, capitalized on the guitar’s popularity to publish an instruction book in 1674. The book, a remarkable achievement in pedagogy for its day, contained detailed technical instructions, in addition to a collection of pieces which are still played today.

Like any art form, guitar music’s popularity waxed and waned many times during its history. The eighteenth century was generally a time of decline, though at its end some technological innovations helped turn the instrument into one more like today’s guitars. Doubled strings fell out of favor, replaced by single ones, and a sixth string was added to the five existing ones. Guitar makers began using sheep’s gut to craft the first three strings, while the bass strings were created with silver plated copper wire wound around a core made of silk thread.

Toward the end of the seventeenth century, the guitar once more came into favor. Having six strings required more highly-developed technique. Virtuoso players inspired the public with their dazzling performances and intricate compositions. The guitar’s popularity caused a high demand for instruction books written for the new six-string guitar. Cities which led in the resurgence of guitar music included Vienna and Paris, attracting topnotch guitarists such as Mauro Giuliani (1781-1829), originally from Italy, and the Spanish virtuoso Fernando Sor (1778-1839). These men led the way for the importance of a solo repertoire for the guitar with their extensive catalog of works. Ferdinando Carulli (1770-1841) introduced a guitar method that is still used today. Another landmark work of the same period, “Twenty-five Melodious Studies,” composed by Matteo Carcassi (1792-1853), still inspires serious guitar students to this day.

By the mid-nineteenth century, guitar music fell out of popularity once again. This time, the decline was so great that the guitar was rarely played, let alone heard in concert. Fortunately, Francisco Tárrega (1852–1909), with his distinctive, romantic sound awakened the public interest once again. His reputation spread by word-of-mouth, thanks to his creative compositions and his trademark sound. That sound, which gave his compositions their charm, came from his extensive knowledge of the guitar fingerboard, using the higher positions to achieve beauty that had never been produced until then. Before Tarrega came along, the public preferred  pieces that stayed within the range of the first five frets. Ignoring these limitations, Tarrega stunned his fans with his works that used the entire range of the guitar. His school of performance and composition survives today, a testament to his innovation.

The spirit of Tarrega’s tradition carried on throughout the twentieth century, thanks to the work of Andrés Segovia (1893–1987). Though not Tarrega’s student, Segovia took the idea of virtuosity as a performer to the next level, introducing people all over the world to guitar music, as opposed to the modest Tarrega, who preferred the intimacy of small crowds. Segovia showed music enthusiasts that the guitar is worthy indeed of serious study, his collaboration with composers inspiring a lion’s share of guitarists’ repertoire even to this day.

These days, the guitar continues to hold its place of respect in the academic world. Many conservatories and universities offer degree programs in guitar performance and pedagogy, unheard of even fifty years ago.

Folk music for the guitar, too,  progressed at about the same rate as did “classical” guitar music. Since ancient times, guitars and their prototypes had accompanied dances. Furthermore, vocalists used the instruments quite extensively to accompany themselves in song. An outgrowth of this long history in folk music was the development of the distinctly Spanish style of music called Flamenco, which had its greatest spurt of growth in the nineteenth century. Andalusian gypsy (Gitano) music blended with traditional folk from the region to produce this lively music. Flamenco guitarists, full of competitive spirit, worked hard to come up with original material and the technical firepower to play the new music. Interestingly enough, Flamenco players, as a rule, play “by ear,” with no written music. Hence, Flamenco music’s development grew by imitation, sharing ideas, and experimentation.  

Ramón Montoya (1880–1949), a legend among Flamenco enthusiasts, developed a large number of the embellishments called falsetas, used to fill in between the verses of songs, as well as to give dance accompaniments artistic flair. At the outset, Flamenco was primarily a style of music whose main purpose was to accompany songs and dances. Not until modern times were Flamenco pieces played as guitar solos. These days, however, solo Flamenco guitarists give concerts, playing improvisations which delight their fans with their dazzling skill on the guitar.

Popular music, too, demonstrates the immense popularity of the guitar. It continues to hold on to its popularity, despite the synthesized alternatives available today. Though its sound is amplified by electronics, often distorted for artistic effect, the human touch is evident in the touch of the guitarist’s fingers caressing the strings. No keyboard can match that kind of intimacy with its hearers.

Spanish Guitar Method Book?

I just bought my husband a spanish guitar for his birthday and need to buy him a method/teaching book (he has never played any kind of guitar.) Do I need to buy him a book specifically for Spanish guitar, or can he learn from a classical guitar method book ? Any suggestions for specific titles would be great…Thanks

he should be able to learn from that book.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

• On some car DVD systems whenever I try to insert or remove an SD card, the screen goes back up too quickly. What can be done about this?
  The CVGX-C14-1GEN uses a slightly different approach to screen raising or lowering. If you press on the eject / angle button it will raise or lower depending on your previous instructions. If you press and hold, the screen will raise or lower fully, so you have full control of how you want the unit to respond.
• You mentioned that this product is compatible with iPods. Will my iPod Nano work with it?
  We tested iPod compatibility using a 3rd generation iPod Nano 4GB.
• When the DVD is playing I have trouble accessing the menu. What can be done?
  The secret to menu access is to remember that by touching the video playing portion of the screen you bring up the menu. If you tap outside of the video area you adjust the screen.
• Your car DVD players are great, but the user manuals could use some improvement. Any solutions there?
  This is one of the best car DVD players we’ve tested, but more surprisingly the user manual is great too. We’re sure you’ll find it very helpful.
• Does this cool in-car total solution support the Greek language?
  No, this unit does not support the Greek language.

Learn Spanish Like Crazy Review – You Need To Read This

Is the Learn Spanish Like Crazy program any good? There are a lot of mixed reviews available so let’s take a look at what some people are saying and see if there’s any truth to the rumors. After all, who wants to spend money on a program that doesn’t work to get results that it promises to have? No one—that’s who! To learn more you can read on to find out the truth in this Learn Spanish Like Crazy Review.

Most people know the benefits of learning Spanish, and that’s why programs like Learn Spanish Like Crazy are so popular. People want better job opportunities, they want better places to travel, more abilities to meet new people and so forth. That being said, how good is the actual course and does it get results? Let’s take a look at the break down:

*Quality of the course: Many people say the content is good but the way you learn the actual Spanish Language could be much better. For example, a lot of the videos and images are very outdated and seem boring, this is a common complaint. If you can get past the dated feel of this course it might help you. Plain and simple the course might not be rgith for you.

*Getting actual results: Many people have mixed results with the course and some people don’t like how it goes about the different levels of learning the language. It’s a bit less organized then their competition (Rocket Spanish by Rocket Languages) but it still has gotten some people reasonable results.

*Price: Many people felt satisfied with the content for the price they paid and weren’t particulary upset with paying the amount of money they had to in exchange for the content they received. This being said, the same people who also tried out Rocket Spanish felt it was a better value and often had better results with it.

Roughly speaking Learn Spanish Like Crazy is a good deal only if you’re not very serious about learning the language and want to get your feet wet. The price tag might drive some people away but it’s still a reasonable course for many people interested in learning more about the language. If you’re really serious about learning Spanish you should go with Rocket Spanish since in our tests it was the most popular and best valued course, it’s also much more up to date.

Trying to find a spanish song I heard on the radio?

It sounded like a female singer, not too fast. Almost like a ballad. It seemed kind of long for a song on the radio. The only word I recognized is that a lot of the lines seemed to end in “corazon”, and it was like “cora-z-ON”, the first two syllables the same pitch and the “zon” got higher as she sang it. I asked one of the guys I work with who speaks Spanish, and he told me Los Tigres del Norte, but I haven’t had any luck with their stuff and I don’t think they have any female singers besides. Please help me out, I’ve heard this song twice this week and it’s driving me crazy!

Spanish Immersion Program

How to Choose Your Next Spanish Immersion School?

Learning Spanish can open a wide number of doors for you, both personally and professionally. And there is no debate that the best way to Learn Spanish is to go to a Spanish Speaking country and enroll in a Spanish Immersion course. But how do you choose which country you should Study Spanish in? And within that country how do I know which Spanish school to choose? Here are a few tips that can help you make the right decision.

1) Choosing your country.

This is no best Spanish country to go to To Learn Spanish. It all depends on what you hope to get out of the experience. That being said, there are a few things to consider when choosing a country.

The first is what are your goals in learning Spanish. If you are looking to get a job working in Argentina or Mexico the
best choice will be to enroll in a Spanish school in the country you want to work. This makes your decision easy.

For those of you who do not have a goal that specific here are some things to keep in mind. Mexican Spanish and the Spanish from Spain (in that order) are the most commonly spoken Spanish in the world. The Spanish from Spain is considered the most “pure” but the Spanish from Mexico is considered the easiest to understand (that is why most movies are dubbed in Mexican Spanish).

If cost is an issue, look to central America. A rule of thumb is that the poorer the country, the cheaper you Spanish Lessons will be. Of course, the other side of this coin is that the poorer the country the less safe it tends to be.

2) Choosing a Spanish Immersion Program

- COSTS

Usually the most important factor for everybody. There are a few things to look out for in this category. While most Spanish schools have the costs for their classes on their website, please make sure to read them carefully. While some Spanish schools look affordable at first glance, they raise the prices in subtle ways like charging you a registration fee (sometimes over $100.00 U.S.) for simply putting your name on a list, or they charge you for all you books (up to $100.00 U.S. per book per level). So read the fine print.

Additionally, remember the saying of “you get what you pay for”. It is not worth saving a few dollars to go to a far worse school.Check the testimonials and if possible ask to contact to other students who have attended the school to see what their experiences were.

- LEVEL OF TRAINING OF TEACHERS

Just because you can speak a language does not mean you can teach it. Make sure the Spanish teachers are trained to teach, and have experience. And confirm what kind of training that the teachers have. Many Spanish schools will claim to have “trained” Spanish teachers, but when you arrive you find that the training was nothing more than a weekend course given by the Spanish school itself. Once again talking to former Spanish students who attended the school is a good way of getting this information.

- DOES ASSOCIATION MATTER?

“Our Spanish School is affiliated with ABCD Group!” Many Spanish schools advertise associations with certain groups, but make sure that the groups are legitimate and reliable. It is easy for a Spanish school to create a Spanish association and then claim to be part of it. Some schools even go so far as to claim to be part of some more well known associations, but are not. Some well known associations to watch out for are Cervantes and Don Quixote.

But also keep in mind that Spanish Language associations do not necessarily dictate the quality of a Spanish language school. Many Spanish language associations charge large fees to become members, and many good, small Spanish schools simply cannot afford to join them. Some Spanish associations also have strict rules, and many Spanish schools do not want to loose their freedom or identity.

- WHAT DO YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR SPANISH IMMERSION EXPERIENCE

Examine the environment carefully. If your goal is to improve your Spanish as quickly as possible try to stay away from the from tourist traps where most people probably speak English. Also, if your goal is serious Spanish study, stay away from beach resorts as those areas, as well as the Spanish schools in them are geared towards those who want to party as much as learn Spanish. Here are some recommendations for some beautiful, but non-touristy cities to Learn Spanish In.

Querétaro, México
San Pedro de la Laguna, Guatemala
Bariloche, Argentina
San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua.

With all of this information in mind, you are well on your way to choosing the perfect Spanish immersion experience for you!
