Can my Limewire music be seen from the authorities when I download from iTunes?
I have been using limewire for downloading music, but due to the things I hear about people getting sued I want to stop and download music the right way, iTunes. The only concern i have is if you use iTunes, can my hardrive still be accessed to see if I ever downloaded illegaly. Basically, if I download music from iTunes, can they see if I have limewire music on my iTunes? I would greatly appreciate help. Thanks.
You can continue to download music from Limewire. I’ve been using Limewire for years. I’ve also downlaoded a song or two from iTunes. iTunes is connected to a database of music, therefore, nothing on your computer will be scanned by iTunes (except for your music collection within iTunes for the genuis feature). And the genius scans the music via band name, genre..etc..it’s not actually scanning to see if your music is legal or not. Besides, it would be illegal for anyone to access your computer without your permission. The stories you’re hearing about people getting sued happened back in the days of Napster (before it was reopened after legal issues) and people on Limewire who get caught are those who spend hours or even days at a time connected to Limewire downloading hundreds of songs at a time. If you’re connected for a few hours at a time at max then you’ll be just fine. I have a friend who’s always connected to Limewire when I see him on his computer and he’s never had issues.
What are the differences(content wise) between country music and blues music?
What are the differences, as far as lyrical content, in the way emotions are expressed. e.g both can express downheartedness but in what way do both genres differ in how they are conveyed.
Musically, country tunes are built a lot of times on four chords, whereas basic blues songs use three. Often times in blues and country, you are dealing personality and physical characteristics of a female, or male. Then it depends on how the song goes. so blues and country are both kinds of folk music, as is most world music.
Blues is the central part of the African American musical tradition and as such is the foundation for rock, R&B, etc. The blues have distinctive chord progressions and half-tones that make it different from traditions like European classical music. See specifics here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blues
Lyrics are usually ballads of lamentation or longing (thus ‘the blues’).
Blues and country in their early development had much interaction since both developed at similar times in the American South. Although there was much segregation, there was enough interaction between communities – especially in working class jobs — to make the traditions closely related in the early Twentieth Century at least. Country has also historically had more influence from English, Irish, and Scottish ballads brought over by immigrants to America.
Today, they have branched apart, with country melding much more with pop.
There is still an emphasis in country on vocal performance and still a little "twang." But honestly, what makes a Taylor Swift song a country song and not a pop song has more to do with marketing than musicology.
Folk: technically, any traditional music of a community may be considered folk music (the musical equivalent of folklore), so blues and country are both kinds of folk music, as is most world music. But at the music store, what they call folk is just singer-songwriter acoustic music usually inspired by the "folk" revival of the 1960′s and 70′s.
Why do you consider these people/bands to be blues bands?
Don’t get me wrong, these are great musicians. However, they don’t belong in the blues category.

What is a good electric guitar for blues music?
A good guitar for blues music, i DONT want a Fender or Gibson. My price range is £400 to £650.
No i have nothing against either of those companies i love both fender and gibson. I just fancy a change, and my guitar teacher said for that price, these days you are paying for the brand name and not the guitar.
Get a second hand Jackson on ebay. they are great for blues and rock.
