Beautiful Vacations In Blackpool

Beautiful Vacations In Blackpool
By : Landon Colins

You know what they say - you've never been to England if you've never been to Blackpool. Of course, locals in every single town around Britain will claim the same thing about their towns. Blackpool, however, is one of the very few towns that actually has any right to claim such a thing - and for good reason.

It's Not Black But It Does Have a Pool. Blackpool is Britain's most popular holiday destination. Whether you're looking for a place to relax in or a town to paint red, Blackpool can give you exactly what you need and more. Take a leisurely walk around Stanley Park and enjoy the horticultural and wildlife marvels. Who knows? You might make a squirrel friend or two.

Take a ride on the famous Blackpool trams. The track runs for 12 miles down the Promenade, but don't worry, it won't take you anywhere near London. Get your freak on and dance under the world's largest disco ball. Grab a Cosmopolitan while you're at it. Visit Blackpool's Sandcastle water park where it's always summer, even in the middle of winter. Don't forget to wear those thermal coats over your bikini if you head outside, though. Frozen buns are not a Blackpool delicacy.

With so much to offer, Blackpool is not a place you visit for a day. For the traveler on a budget, you're better off spending on Blackpool's many attractions rather than some posh (as the Brits like to say) hotel you only sleep in. Clean, comfortable, and most importantly cheap at only £30-£40 a night, a Blackpool guest house is the perfect place to rest your weary head after a day of exploring.

If Hairdryers Are Safe at the Strathmore, So Are You! Centrally located along Lonsdale Road, the Strathmore Blackpool guest house is within walking distance of Blackpool's most popular attractions. It is conveniently near the major clubs and pubs so you don't have to walk - no, stagger - too far if you had one too many cocktails after dancing the night away under that disco ball. All rooms are centrally heated in this Blackpool guest house, which should do wonders to your hangover the morning after. Each room also has a useless colored television (useless because you'll be too busy exploring the town to watch television), a coffee maker, and a tea maker (if there's such a thing). Reduced rates are offered to children, possibly based on size - the tinier, the better. Hairdryers and flat irons are available upon request, possibly because they can fit in your suitcase, so nice try.

The Good Life - Living in a Bar The Hinsford Blackpool guest house is also centrally located and is very close to Pleasure Beach and the town center. There's a licensed bar in the guest house itself so you don't have to stagger at all after those cocktails. You can just have the barman escort you upstairs to your room where you can throw up in your en suite bathroom. It might be a bit embarrassing to see him in the morning though, as he will also be serving you your full English breakfas. But look at the bright side - the breakfast is free.

When You're Only Pretending to Be on Vacation The Lynmoore Blackpool guest house is also two minutes away from all the great Blackpool attractions. Aside from the usual coffee (and tea) maker, hairdryer, iron, English breakfast, and en suite bathrooms, this Blackpool guest house offers Internet access. So even if you're on vacation, you can still get some work done.

As a downside, these Blackpool guest houses only accept couples or families. Singles are turned away at the door and sent to where they belong - in posh hotel rooms where they could actually invite the barman or barwoman in.

How To Play The Guitar

How To Play The Guitar
By : Ian D. Major

Friends often ask me how to play the guitar or what guitar instruction to use". My answer is always "it's not so much how to play the guitar or what guitar instruction but rather, what guitar to play.

They're In For Some Sore Fingers

If they've never played the guitar before I always explain to them that they're in for some discomfort.

In the early stages of practice, when you're learning how to play the guitar, pressing your fingers down hard on metal or nylon strings tends to cause soreness. It does become less painful the more you practice but choosing the right guitar in the first place is just as important.

If you want to become good at playing the guitar and guitar licks you're going to have to practice a lot so the more comfortable you are the better.

Do Not Stick Your Neck Out

If you're looking for a new or second hand Acoustic make sure you check the gap between the strings and the last fret (nearest the body of the guitar). The strings should be as close as possible to the fret without actually touching it or causing the strings to "buzz" when strummed. The higher the strings from the fret the more strength is needed by the fingers causing pain and soreness.

Hold the guitar like a rifle, look along it's neck to see that the neck is straight and true. If the tension of the strings is causing the neck to pull inwards this will increase the gap between string and fret. The further along the string you go the greater the gap. Expensive or inexpensive, do not by a guitar with this problem. I've known aquaintances who have been put of learning how to play the guitar for life due to this problem.

Muddle Free

It's a great idea to own a good quality Acoustic Guitar even if you already have and play an Electric Guitar. The extra strength needed on the fingers to play your Acoustic will make it much easier to play your Electric Guitar, a bit like sports people strapping weights to their body when they train and of course, sometimes, it's much easier to grab your Acoustic for some practice than set up your Electric Guitar.

You may be lucky enough to have your Electric Guitar and or Guitar Software set up to play at any given time but for most guitarists it's a case of having to set up amplifiers and leads, speakers and have access to electricity and to a computer in the case of guitar software.

No Need For Electricity

Here is another good reason for owning an Acoustic. It might be that you have been asked to a picnic or a camping trip or any invite where access to power would be difficult if not impossible. All you have to do with your Acoustic it grab it up and take it with you.

Instant Jam Session

Often you hear a piece of music on the Radio or TV and you've just got to try and play along with it. Just reach out and grab your trusty Acoustic and get the chords down before the moment has gone.
