Prelude from BWV 999 in D minor (J.S. Bach), Classical Guitar Solo

JoeNo1 — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 02:23:56 +0000

Happened to wear in Steve Jobs style before I heard the news at night…

………………………………………………………………………………………………..

This is an excellent piece of music and superb for right hand arpeggio practice too.

There are some tricky places, especially when we don’t use slurs at all.

I put the strings on about 3 month ago. I used my nail polish sand paper to polish the 1st string (around the sound hole) right before this recording.

Composer: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750)

Guitar: ROMERIGO S 01, 罗美里哥 S 01（2010）

Strings: Luthier Concert Silver Set 30 (3 months old)

How to Link or Unlink a Google Account from a YouTube Account

JoeNo1 — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 19:05:42 +0000

In the old days (a few years ago,) YouTube accounts were different from Google accounts. That was true even after Google acquired YouTube with 1.65 billion in stock. A YouTube user used a set of user name and password to log in, where the same user used a separate set of user name and password to log in a Google account.

Later on, Google managed to link Google accounts and YouTube accounts. A Google user could just log in once, then the linked YouTube account would log in with one single set of user name and password. It worked pretty much like today’s social network accounts.

Nowadays, Google makes it official to use only one Google account for both Google and YouTube services. Here is how to link a YouTube account to a Google account.

If a YouTube user wants to re-link his/her YouTube account to a different Google account for some reason, it can be done by following the instructions here. [sniplet download ad]

http://www.youtube.com/my_account_unlink

There is an exception that this link might NOT work.

If a gmail account is linked to a YouTube account, the link is unbreakable. It will show a “!” in red and

Your account is permanently linked to a Google Account

That means this Google account and YouTube account are paired up permanently. The link should never be changed.

Is there any way to get around the Google-YouTube permanent link problem?

Yes! But it’s risky.

Here is the trick: Delete either a Google account or a YouTube account. This will force to break the Google-YouTube tie.

But the risky side is that Google does NOT release the previously used user IDs for re-use. This is true for YouTube user IDs too. In this case, user has to give up at least one user ID to re-link a YouTube account to a Google account.

Etude Op.6 No.11 in E (Fernando Sor) Use YouTube Video Editor

JoeNo1 — Sat, 30 Jul 2011 02:30:45 +0000

After upload the 3rd part to YouTube, I re-mix this video with my previous 2 practice recordings using YouTube Video Editor. Just for fun

Click here to view the embedded video.

* 1st take, old strings, LaBella 2001 Classical MHT, 7 months
* 2nd take, new strings, Luthier Concert Silver Set 30, 1 week
* 3rd take, new strings, Luthier Concert Silver Set 30, 2 weeks

YouTube Video Editor is easy to use. Everything is done in a browser. No video editing software is required.

One thing needs to be improved though.

For music video trimming, manual time input is very necessary to create seamless music connection. YouTube Video Editor only allows user drag the time bar, which is not accurate enough and time consuming. Timing is everything for musicians.

This is my 3rd attempt on this piece of study. It’s the last part this time. Music is changed from E minor to E major from here.
