Hello All,

The recent attack on America has effected almost everyone around the world in some way. It has also inspired many people to create music. In fact, The Virtual Musician is encouraging it by saying, "Make the best, most passionate music you could ever make, and play it loud enough for them to hear it in every corner of the globe." Check out his latest by clicking here.

We have also setup a new page where you can post your musical expressions. Rock For America is our own little tribute to all of those affected by the recent events. Our hearts and thoughts are with you all. If we get a good response to this, we may put out a CD featuring this music with all proceeds going to charity. If you would like to submit your music, just click here. We'd like to thank Michael Hickey from Positive NRG for his inspiration.

Gear Corner: This week we feature the Line 6 Pod 2. This fully programmable desktop unit delivers a wide range of legendary amp tones (sixteen models, expandable with included software to 32) and features sixteen pro-quality digital effects setups arranged on separate knobs. In each newsletter we will focus on a piece of equipment, an instructional video or some software that we feel is of importance to our members. Click on the links to see some recommended gear. If you have a product that you'd like to see featured, just drop us a line.

Forum Question: Many guitar players either choose a Fender Stratocaster or a Gibson Les Paul. We once again go back to the Virtual Musician who makes his statement and asks the question, "What guitar do you prefer to play and why"? Post your comments here. OnlineRock is interested in your comments related to the world of music and the music industry. Each week, we'll pose a different question in hopes of hearing your input. Feel free to post any music-related message at the OnlineRock Sounding Board.

Featured Artists: Seven Skies from Singapore is our profiled band this week. Their music ranges from ballads to moderate pop, swing, techno, and country, but all with a touch of rock in them. How would you like to get your bands picture on the front page of OnlineRock? All you have to do is build a Web site at OnlineRock, have a great photo, and fill out the profile form Who knows? Maybe you'll be next?

OnlineRock's featured MP3 comes from Schizo Fun Addict in New York. "Halo" has that New York sound. Our featured site is Route 66 - Rock Mexicano con muy mala leche. If you have a site or MP3 you'd like OnlineRock to check out, drop our Webmaster a line at webmaster@onlinerock.com

Peace to all,
OnlineRock - Empowering Musicians
