Renovations at the King St. Store

Posted By Jericho on March 29, 2010

Today we began the renovations on the new ukulele wall at the King St. store. We are going to match it to the recently renovated acoustic guitar room. If you haven’t seen the new acoustic guitar room be sure to come in and check it out. Our ukulele wall should be wrapping up by the end of the week. So if you come in to the store this week, don’t mind our mess, we will try to keep it as clean as possible. Also if you are still looking for ukuleles, we haven’t gotten rid of them, they are hanging on the bass guitar wall. They’re not to customer friendly as far as being able to reach all of them, so please let our sales guys know if you are in need of any assistance.

Live Performances

Posted By Jericho on March 15, 2010

As most of you know, we hold live performances at the King St. store from time to time. Recently we had two great local bands play on our fully equipped live sound stage. A great rock band, Kilroy, performed some amazing originals. Next we had End of an Era, who performed some great alternative rock originals. Both bands rocked it out on our stage and gave great performances. Included are pictures from the performances. If you and your band are ever interested in performing here, come talk to one of our sales guys and find out more information. Also you can email us at admin@easymusiccenter.com. I enjoy watching local bands play on our stage, so come on down and put it to use!

I’ve been a apple user for almost a year now and I’m proud to say I have no regrets. Recently one of my co-workers introduced me to a program called “SuperDuper!” Basically what this program does is make a complete bootable clone of your hard drive to an external. This allows the user the ability of being able to boot from their external hard drive via firewire. How does this benefit me?

First NAMM Experience

Posted By Jericho on January 20, 2010

So NAMM is over and I’m back in Hawaii. It was a really fun experience and I’m glad I got to go. Seeing all the new products that I otherwise would only be able to see online was pretty awesome. Even seeing all the musicians was pretty cool too, like Gregg Bissonette. Don’t worry though about the new product thing. All the cool the stuff we saw, we’re going to bring it in, but for now it’s a secret ;)

My first NAMM experience… so far

Posted By Jericho on January 14, 2010

So needless to say I’m having a lot of fun. I’ve never experienced anything quite as exciting this. All the musicial equipment you could dream of all under one roof. I’ve played guitars that I’ve only dreamed about playing. I’ve seen musical artist that I’ve only seen on tv. It’s been quite an experience. The best part of it is, it’s still not over. I just got back from this great Yamaha concert featuring Natalie Cole, Jason Mraz, Vince Gill, Michael McDonald, John Ondrasik, Jon McLaughlin, and the Pull Start Rockets. It was an awesome concert. One of the best live music events I’ve been to. I can’t wait or what else is in-store. I’ll try to keep you up-to-date, that is, if I don’t get distracted by everything going on.

John Mayer Inspiration Information

Posted By Jericho on January 7, 2010

So I was browsing the YouTube and came across a bunch of videos that featured John Mayer doing a speech, more of a clinic, at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. He goes over the different aspects of being a musician, songwriting, singing, and a bunch more including answering the questions of the students there. I posted all the videos here to make it easier to watch. Also the video is raw and jumps around, so don’t be too disappointed if you realize you just missed something. Other than that, it’s really good, even though you might not be a most advent John Mayer fan. Enjoy!

Note: Some adult language is used.

Jericho Just Got An iPhone!

Posted By Jericho on December 28, 2009

So I just got an iPhone. Hopefully now that I have one I can be able to post more cool stuff up on here. Like the fact I went to go watch the Broadway Musical “STOMP” yesterday. It’s pretty awesome! Also there happens to be 3 guys in the cast that are from Hawaii. Always good to see the talent has come from here. If you didn’t see it yet you should.

Shoots!

Great Solution for “Older” MacBook Pro

sdcardreader

So I own a MacBook Pro, the ones that came out before the new updated versions with SD card readers, which brings me to my predicament: How do I read SD cards? I don’t need something that has a compact flash reader or a sony card reader. All I need is something that reads SD cards and doesn’t take up a bunch of space. Guess what? I found it!
