Slur Workout in F MajorTo slur is to not articulate note(s) after the first one plucked. On the clarinet, this means not using the tongue to stop and release airflow to or through the reed and instrument - changing the fingerings to thereby produce different notes without interruption. On the guitar, slurring is done by using hammer-ons and pull-offs. The result is a legato (smooth, connected) sound, which is necessary in many of the pieces we play. If you practise slurring enough, you will eventually get a good sense of the left hand fingers "tapping" at the neck. |

How You Can Live To 100 (Graphic)
Want to keep thinking up great ideas? Research has found that by controlling factors in your life, living to 100 is actually much more possible than previously thought. In total, the US has the most centenarians with current estimates as high as 72,000, leading website The Centenarian states. In fact, if the population of centenarians continues to increase at its current rate of expansion, there could be close to one million people of 100 years of age or more by 2050 residing in the US.
