Learn To Play Amazing Grace With Piano Tabs

You can learn to play popular melodies without sheet music. Today you will learn to use piano tab notation to learn a popular song!

Piano tabs show you where to play the notes on the piano. We will today use the numbers 1 to 8 to help you find the notes.

First we will locate the note 1. It is the note that is found to the left of two black keys. There are many such places on a piano but I suggest that you choose a number one somewhere in the middle of the keyboard.

The note 1 is also called C. The notes 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 and 8 are also called C D E F G A B and C.

The note named 2 in our piano tab notation is the white key immediately to the right of 1. Then note 3 is the white key to the right of 2 and so on.

Let’s start by taking a look at the lyrics for the first verse:

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
Was blind, but now I see

We will start to play the melody to the first line of lyrics:

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound

1 4 6 4 6 5 4 2 1

This type of piano tab does not tell you the length of the notes. If you sing the lyrics you will probably feel how long the notes should be.

Time for the next line:

That saved a wretch like me

1 4 6 4 6 5 6 8

Maybe you are using your right hand index finger to play all notes and I guess it works with this easy melody. I suggest that you try to use all right hand fingers to play the melody, including the thumb.

This will help you prepare for more difficult piano pieces and when you get used to play this way you will feel that it is in fact easier to play this way.

Here are the next piano tab:

I once was lost, but now am found

6 8 6 4 6 5 4 2 1

The last line is here:

Was blind, but now I see

1 4 6 4 6 5 4

If you want to play chords with your left hand I will give you three piano chords that will work with the song.

I will write them down with the same piano tab notation you already know but you of course have to play the chords starting with a 1 note somewhere to the left of the numbers you use for the melody:

F: 1 4 6

Bb: 2 4 7b

C7: 1 3 7b

7b means that you instead of playing on the white 7 key should play the black key to the left of the white key 7.

In the following text I have placed the chord names in parenthesis immediately before the syllable on which to play the chord:

A-(F)mazing Grace, how (Bb)sweet the (F)sound
That (F)saved a wretch like (C7)me
I (F)once was lost, but (Bb)now am (F)found
Was (F)blind, but (C7)now I (F)see

As my old piano teacher used to say, learn one thing at a time. Start with learning the right hand melody by heart, line by line. Learn to play the chords by heart and then try to sing the song together with the chords.

When you have learned to sing the song with the chords by heart it’s time to combine the melody with the chords. By now it should be easy.

How to Make Cash From Paid Surveys

To entice more people to sign up to participate in online surveys, survey makers are now paying cash for each survey taken. As a direct consequence you can now make cash from paid surveys!

It’s easy! There are no right answers or wrong answers to survey questions; the survey makers just want your honest opinion, whatever it might be. You can take and make cash from online paid surveys at any time, from any place where you have access to a computer and an Internet connection.

So what, specifically, must you do to make cash from paid surveys? The short answer is that you must fill out an application with each of the good survey makers. Then, when the survey invitations come in, respond, fill out the survey questionnaire and your check will come to you in the mail.

The longer answer is that it is best to work through a reliable paid survey guide company to steer you to the good survey makers. (The bad ones make the most noise and have the most ads on the Internet! And the “free” guides are frequently set up specifically to steer you to the bad survey makers and the sales companies disguised as survey makers!)

When you need to get around in strange territory, it is better for you to pay your own guide than use one that someone else is paying. In this case you want to make cash from paid surveys. There are many out there who only talk cash and actually want to pay you with only a smile and a handshake.

A good guide company will be sizable, of good reputation, growing, and will have a strong 60 to 90 day money-back guarantee backed up by a bank or financial institution such as PayPal or ClickBank. Look at all of these points but look hardest at their refund rate.

The refund rate is the percentage of their clients that demanded their money back. A low refund rate means happy clients. A high refund rate means lots of unhappy clients. Specifically, the ideal refund rate will be in the 3-5% range. Avoid any company with a refund rate over 10%.

When you select your guide company and get started, they will give you a copy of their list of preferred, proven survey-makers. Apply to all of them if possible. If you cannot apply to all, apply to as many as you can. This is a critical step. Remember that you cannot make cash from paid surveys if the survey makers do not send you surveys to take.

And the survey makers cannot send you surveys to take unless they have your name, address and demographic info in their databases. These survey makers are competitors and each database is separate. To make cash from paid surveys you need to apply to each separate company so they can send you surveys to take.

When you start getting invitations to take surveys, respond to them promptly, take the survey, fill out all the blanks fully and answer to the best of your ability. When you respond quickly and well you will get more and more paid surveys to take in the future.

Fruits - The Guide To Good Health

These objectives might stimulate you towards a fruit diet, weight loss, healthy diet, natural cure for obesity and weight control, healthy lifestyle, body cleansing! What more would you ask for? Why else would you have 5 to 9 fresh slices a day, organically grown as far as possible? Lets consider some facts:

1. Fruit mostly consists of water just like the human body does;
2. Fruit is one hundred percent cholesterol free;
3. Fruit leads to better memory;
4. Fruit has miraculous healing effects
5. Fruit has plenty of fiber
6. Fruit makes you feel better, naturally
7. Fruit is the most natural and tasty food

More often than not, fruit consists of water just like the human body. Just like 80% of our body is water is 80% of fruit. Come to think of it, it’s logical for the human body to have foods that contain as much water as the body.

The nutrition that meets our requirements is fruit, hence there is no other food than fruit that contains on average 80% water. No doubt, vegetables contain a lot of water too and are therefore second best on our list.

Fruit is 100% bad-cholesterol free and there is no argument about this. Too much of cholesterol is bad for our bodies and fruit doesn’t contain one bit cholesterol. On the other hand, animal products such as meat and dairy contain a lot of bad-cholesterol.

Besides, it is now proven that fruit stimulates the memory In case you did not know tit yet, fruit is the ultimate brain fuel. The way it works has yet to be discovered and a number of scientists are looking into it. But, we do know that if you have lots of fruit, your brains will be able to recall information faster and more easily.

The miraculous healing effects of fruit are doing the rounds nowadays. In fact, spectacular stories about folks that got cured from incurable diseases just abiding by a strict diet of raw fruits and/or vegetables are well known.

Then how about fibers? We all know now that a diet with lots of fibers helps against obesity, hypertension, and other things that increase the chance for a heart disease and cancers. The amount of fibers consumed could be an even more important factor than the amount of fat that people consume.

Finally, fruit is the most natural food. When you see a piece of fruit dangling from the branch of a tree it is telling you something: “Eat my fruits and help me spread my seeds.” That is how nature works, humans eat fruits and vegetables and subsequently help plants spread.

Human beings use animals to work the land to grow the plants and trees that produce these vegetables and fruits. No wonder, fruit is the best human diet
A healthy diet should comprise a lot of freshly squeezed fruit juices, raw fruits and vegetables. Here are some tips:

1. It is a good start to eat and drink more fresh fruits;
2. It is very simple, before you know it you will be feeling so much better;
3. Always remember to eat fruit on an empty stomach, not after meals

Kevin Pederson manages websites on nutrition, diet and health. A nutritious and well balanced diet ensures well being and reduces the chance of numerous debilitating diseases such as cancer, diabetes, stroke, etc.

Want to Trade FOREX? Then Ask Yourself This Simple Question

What’s your edge?

If you want to win at FOREX trading you must have an edge remember this fact:

Around 95% of traders lose - so if you don’t know what your edge is you will join them.

Let’s look at the basis of having an edge and what you need to win.

FOREX Trading is HARD - and anyone who says it’s easy, is lying.

You need an edge that allows you to win while the vast bulk of traders lose, it really is that simple.

The basis of what you need to do to achieve an edge is outlined below:

1. You can’t buy success

If you think you can consult a guru or get anyone else to give you success you need to wake up and need to “smell the coffee”!

If guru’s made money in the vast majority of cases they wouldn’t need clients.

Some are good and genuine, but that’s probably less than 1%.

If you want to follow one, you need to understand what they are doing, have total confidence in their method and see a real time track record of success.

You then need the confidence to follow their method with discipline.

2. You need a method you understand and know why it makes money

This means in most cases means deriving your method on your own and trusting it.

You need to trade it through losses and know you will end up a winner longer term and remember, all methods have long periods where they lose.

To win longer term you need to have total confidence in what you are doing and stick with your method through good times and more importantly, the bad.

If you don’t have discipline, you will fall by the wayside like the vast majority of traders and won’t be able to execute your method.

If you don’t have discipline to trade your method, you have no method at all!

3. What sets you apart from others?

This is your “edge” the reason you will beat other traders.

If you don’t know what your edge over other traders you will lose.

When you trade in the market you trade against other traders.

It’s a brutal world where only the strong survive and you need to have an advantage and more importantly, know what it is.

An edge in trading can be a number of things, but one thing is for sure:

You need to know what it is and why it allows you to take on and beat the vast majority of other traders.

Common traits of traders with an edge are:

They understand everything about the market:

How it moves and why and they have built a method themselves that suits their personality.

They then have total confidence in their method and can apply it with discipline to preserve and make them money.

If you want to win you need to do the same.

In conclusion, if you don’t know what your edge is, forget FOREX trading and do something else with your money or you will lose it all.

The Chase

Like most hunters, as far back as I can remember, I have always been passionately involved in “The Chase.” From fishing in the gutter at age 6 (my Mom’s proudest moment), to trapping birds in my backyard with bread, box, stick and string. Surprisingly, I was successful a few times, I just never thought ahead far enough to consider “What am I going to do with the bird once I catch it?” OK, I am a slow learner.

At age 10, I evolved. My parents bought my first BB Gun for my birthday. I was now a hunter! After passing the mandatory proficiency test in the backyard given by my Dad, it was now “Game-On.” Every day after school, I was off to the woods. I couldn’t get home fast enough! Even at the age of 10, I was passionately involved in The Chase. No snake, sparrow or squirrel was safe. I would put the sneak on them.

With a pocket full of BB’s, my Daisy and bicycle, it was off to the woods. My entire childhood was spent in the woods learning about how nature works and interacts. I became part of the circle of life. Predator and prey. Nothing was more rewarding than sitting in the woods, quiet. Watching. Listening. Growing. Things in the woods made sense. It was there I learned the “spirit” of the hunt.

After wearing out 2.5 Daisy’s, I was given a 10-pump pellet gun. I quickly learned how to clean squirrels and on more than one occasion, I provided a fine dinner of “fried squirrel” for the whole family. Looking back, I don’t recall seeing Mom ever actually eat any of it, but she always cooked ‘em up for me and my friends! Thanks, Mom!

Now, as much as ever, the chase is part of my life. I have since graduated from squirrel hunting to deer hunting, but the thrill is just the same. Squirrel, rabbit, deer. It doesn’t matter. It is all about the chase. Getting close. Focus. Take it all in. Become part of the natural circle that man has been part of for thousand’s of years, even since Biblical times. I am proud to be a hunter. It is who I am. I was created this way. I didn’t choose this. My well-fed cat is a hunter, too. It is natural.

The Chase. The mention of it stirs our soul. It reminds us what is important! It is what makes our life exciting and what every one of us wants: a passionate pursuit of something challenging and important. It is as important as water. A college degree. Wealth. Members of the opposite sex. A big fish. The “spirit” of the chase is alive and well in all of us.

In every duck blind in south Louisiana, deer stand in Texas or in the mountains of Montana, the thrill is always the same. The undeniable excitement and anticipation of the hunt makes us feel alive and takes us somewhere. Our hearts race, our breathing is heavy, we are “in the game.” We are alive! We are in the woods, mountains, marshes and waters, right where we want to be! The circle of life. Nothing can replace that feeling of hearing that twig snap behind you. Or seeing the ducks coming in. Ever hear an elk bugle? The chase is why we hunt. The kill is only the result of everything, including luck, coming together. But it is not the “kill” we are after.

Next time you are in the woods and hear that twig snap, take a moment. As your heart races, take it all in. Enjoy that excitement. You know the feeling I am talking about! That, my friends, is why we hunt. The Chase.

List Building - How to Test a Squeeze Page III

If you do use a tracking service that uses tracking links, instead send your visitors to a page hosted on your web domain, and redirect them to the tracking link.

That way, if you choose to discontinue using the ad tracking company, or they go out of business, you simply change the redirect on your pages. This is still cumbersome if you have to make a change, but it is far better than the alternative - losing your inbound links.

Another ad tracking solution is to use an ad tracking service that uses javascript or some other form of code to identify each individual visitor to your web page itself, and correlate that with code you would put on your thank pages or download pages. The downside to this is that you have to install the code on all relevant pages, and if you have hundreds or thousands that can be time or cost prohibitive.

Still another solution is to incorporate your autoresponders’ tracking system into your web site. You are already going to be installing autoresponder code on each of your web pages, so by creating unique web forms for each web page, in effect you are isolating the source of each subscriber to your web site, and identifying them based on their name and email address. Your autoresponder will create individual squeeze page conversion rates, and you can manually calculate sales conversion rates. At this point, you simply correlate the sales on your web site to their respective source, and calculate conversion rates per source per product.

Although this solution is the most cumbersome, it is the least intrusive to your web site, and gives you the most freedom in terms of changes to your web site and the tracking service.

So how do you test a squeeze page?

When you are testing a squeeze page (or a sale page) you need to change only one element on the page at a time. If you change more than one element, you will not know which one is responsible for the change (or lack thereof) in conversion rate.

List Building - How to Test a Squeeze Page II

If you were to send all of your traffic to one squeeze page, and try to maximize or optimize that squeeze page across all traffic, you might have some traffic that converts at 50% and others that converts at 10% - but you will only show a 30% conversion rate, for example.

By isolating each traffic source and testing and tweaking each individual squeeze page and traffic source, you can increase your conversion rates across the board.

So how do you test?

There are a number of different ways you can test and track your results.

One way to do this is to use ad tracking software. Some software uses cookies that are put on a visitors’ computer, and they track when that same visitor opt ins to a specific web page. Some software actually identifies the visitors’ computers’ IP address, and uses that to track the visitors’ behaviour.

One word of caution: if you use ad tracking software, do not advertise the tracking links, if your ad tracking software uses tracking links. Basically tracking links are links generated by the ad tracking software, and are hosted on their computer, and either redirect to your content, or host your content on their servers.

Obviously, doing it this way makes things easy, unless the ad tracking company goes out of business, or you choose to discontinue using their services. What happens to all the links you have advertised?

They no longer go to your site - so you lose any links you have worked hard to create.

Justa

I have noticed a trend lately and it involves the insertion of a phrase before what we do to pay the bills each month. It isn’t an important phrase and it really doesn’t have any right to be inserted in the first place, but it is just the same, now-a-days. The unimportant phrase I am referring to is the phrase ‘justa’. Think back to a time when either you or another inserted the phrase before stating your title or profession, such as “I’m ‘justa’ stay at home mom”, or “I’m ‘justa’ furniture mover”.

This phenomenon has lead me to wonder how many years of higher education it would take for one to be fortunate enough to have a profession or title that didn’t follow the phrase ‘justa’. I also wonder, while on the subject, if professional criminals have to follow the same unwritten rules, as we do. I mean do they have to say, no sir, I’m ‘justa’ get-away driver? What about, ‘justa’ jewelry thief and ‘justa’ bank robber? Or is this just a silly phenomenon not worth mention?

If we study the whole silly phenomenon just a bit, I think we will find that the whole phrase insertion process is a product of egotism? Some so-called, superior ‘other’ person, sometime referred to collectively as ‘them’, told us that we must insert the phrase under penalty of something, because ‘they’ were better than us because we had, only a low level job. While on studying, I did wonder if I would find that the insertion process was nothing more than a product of our own low self esteem, therefore self inflicted or justly due to another’s egotism, and/or a combination of both. The fact that certain higher paying professions are exempt from having to insert simply re-enforces this point. However, this isn’t carved into stone and seems to be as full of special conditions as the original insertion unwritten rules.

After wrestling with all the unwritten customary insertion policies and rules of use, I was left wondering; if a cancer doctor would introduced himself as ‘justa’ doctor of medicine, would anyone allow him to operate? I have also wondered on Sunday mornings lately, if I would still be in the pew if the minister introduced himself as ‘justa’ minister. What about ‘justa’ police officer on a poorly lit side street at two in the morning? Would I allow ‘justa’ fireman to carry me down the ladder away from a burning building. Lastly, I’ve wondered how many strong healthy young men and women would follow the orders of ‘justa’ president!

You see, the more I unraveled the unwritten rules and conditions for the phrase insertion I realized that it was all silly rubbish and truly needed to be done away with! It was simply nothing more than a product of our own low self-esteem. How many times have we conditioned the ears of our children to such foolishness by saying I am ‘justa’ car salesman or ‘justa’ home school mom? As silly as it sounds, it is even more silly for us to use the phrase insertion in the first place. Now if someone, who thought a bit more of themselves than they should have, gave us the phrase and all the insertion rules, I say give it back! We don’t need the phrase and we surely won’t miss it. We can and will live very well without its silly nonsense.

There are no ‘justa’ anyone’s. If you replace the phrase with a more fitting, and descriptive word, such as lowly, unimportant, or ineffective. Then one would be forced to stop and remove the inserted phrase all together, because we now would be entering the ‘political correctness’ arena and we don’t want to go in there! In the process of removing the inserted phrase ‘justa’, we all became more important and needed once again, worthy of love and friendship! It’s like everyone all of a sudden just received a promotion by throwing out the inserted ‘justa’ phrase! Now we can once again be proud of ‘a honest days work’!

List Building - How to Test a Squeeze Page I

It is critically important that you test the web copy on your squeeze page. I have squeeze pages that convert at 10%, and I have squeeze pages that convert at 65%. This varies dramatically based on the traffic source and the squeeze page itself. Sometimes a small change in the script will create a big change in the conversion rate.

Think about this. Assume that your average visitor cost is 10 cents. Assume that your average conversion rate is 10%. That means your cost per subscriber is $1. Imagine that you can increase the conversion rate on that particular source of traffic to 30%. Your cost per subscriber will go down to 33 cents.

You can look at that two ways. You can either afford more subscribers on the same budget, or you can increase the profit per subscriber - or both.

One thing that is important to remember is that each traffic source will convert differently, and will convert differently on different squeeze pages.

For example, a referred visitor or an article generated visitor may not need much ad copy to get them to subscribe - when they get to your squeeze page they are already prepared to opt in, regardless of the offer - and in fact may convert at a lower rate if they have to read a long article to get to the opt in box.

However, non-referred (or cold) traffic may need to read 300-500 words from you before they will trust you enough to give you their name and email address.

So in these two cases, the source of traffic dictates the type and copy of the squeeze page.

What Is So Great About Taking Paid Online Surveys?

Surveys are a major tool that market researchers use to measure public and consumer opinion. Online surveys use the speed and low cost of the Internet to lower survey costs and get fast answers to questions. Survey makers are compensating people who take the surveys and fill out the questionnaires, with cash money, in the form of checks or deposits in your PayPal account.

So what’s so great about all this? Why are people signing up to get paid for filling out surveys?

Here are some of the principal points and reasons that survey takers give:

1. It’s easy. There are no right answers or wrong answers. All you have to do is to give your honest opinion. You just check the boxes or type in simple answers, and that’s it!

2. It’s fast. Most surveys take 8-12 minutes to finish. 8-12 minutes work and you get a check for $5 to $25! Doesn’t take any more time than checking your e-mail.

3. No prior training is required. If you can login to your e-mail account and send an e-mail to Aunt Clara, you have all the technical skills needed. If you are a consumer (and everyone who eats, buys clothes, buys anything is a consumer!) then you qualify. The big company clients of the market researchers want to know what you think about their products and their competitors’ products. So surveys get sent out to find out.

4. You receive cash, another income stream. This is an activity that is more than just fun, you get paid for it! Depending on your demographics, you could be bring in $200 to $600 a month from paid surveys. Some people bring in over $1,000 a month from this activity!

5. You can work your own hours. The survey makers generally want answers in a day or two, but they don’t care if you fill out their questionnaire at 3 in the morning or whenever! It’s entirely up to you. Whenever is convenient for you is fine.

6. You can do this from anywhere there’s a computer and an Internet connection. Take your laptop computer along and fill out survey questionnaires while you are on vacation. Or stop by any Internet Cafe to check your e-mail and survey offers. You have complete freedom of motion and location.

7. There is no obligation. You are a freelance survey taker. There is no obligation to do anything, ever. You can quit anytime, pass over any survey you don’t like; you are your own boss and can walk away at any time.

You can see that there are many good points in favor of getting paid to fill out surveys. Is it any wonder then that this is becoming a very popular way to make extra money?
