Wearing all-white outfits, and standing before a…Maroon 5 delivered the first televised performance of their brand new single, "Love Somebody" - the fourth overall from the band's platinum-selling album "Overexposed" - on the latest episode of NBC's talent show 'The Voice' on May 20.
Wearing all-white outfits, and standing before a white wall, Maroon 5 played the Ryan Tedder produced, and co-written pop mid-tempo "Love Somebody" as distorted visuals of 'blue paint' were beamed on the center stage creating a cool effect. The performance went great, and no doubt this 'The Voice' gig will make the new single surge in digital sales on iTunes ASAP. By the way, Maroon 5 also premiered the official music video for "Love Somebody" on May 20.
2. Superb! Watch now the world premiere of Maroon 5's 'intimate' music video for "Love Somebody", one of the band's greatest songs ever, and the fourth official single from Maroon's platinum-selling newest studio album "Overexposed". Watch above!
Directed by Rich Lee, the original, simple and visually stunning MV for "Love Somebody", shows band frontman Adam Levine getting hot and heavy with a fine lady, model Emily Ratajkowski, as they 'unveil' their painted bodies by touching and caressing their own and each other's 'blank' skin. How cool was that?. "Love Somebody" is produced and co-written by Ryan Tedder. This song has got to smash! It's one of Maroon 5's best yet.
3. "Daylight" singer Adam Levine appears on the cover of the latest issue of 'The Hollywood Reporter'. The 33-year-old Maroon 5 leader welcomes magazine readers with a seductive looking-straight-to-camera glance, while showing off his toned biceps.
After being photographed by Ruven Afanador, Adam sat down with THR's journalistLacey Rose to discuss; The Voice - "This show was the first real job I’ve ever had that wasn’t just messing around with music. I don’t really know what happened, but it initiated some kind of mode in my brain. It put me on this trajectory, and I love it", the responsability of having a successful band with Maroon 5 -"You get onstage and perform a concert in front of 10,000 people, and if you f--- up, it's your ass", or how he thinks people will react to Adam Levine, the actor. He will star on the upcoming film "Can a Song Save Your Life?" - "They'll probably say that I'm a better actor than I am a singer or something," he jokes of the critics who haven't always been kind to him. "They'll find some way to f--- me with something negative", among other things. For more from Adam, go to HollywoodReporter.com now.
4. Maroon 5's frontman Adam Levine shows a big smile on the cover of the March 2013 issue of "Men's Health", for which the 33-year-old musician poses for the first time! Among the subjects Mr Levine discussed with the mag for the 'inside spread' are him turning into yoga, or his style secrets. For more from Adam you can head toMensHealth.com now or buy a copy of the mag's new issue starting February 8.
And at night on Wednesday (February 6), the "Daylight" star attended the launch party of his debut line of signature fragrances (for both man and woman), produced by ID Perfurmes, at the Premiere Fragrance Installation in Los Angeles, California. "I didn’t want it to be another bullsh-t celebrity fragrance that I was hocking, that I didn’t believe in," Adam said. "I wanted to do something understated and elegant - something that people I revere in that world, like Tom Ford, would do, and something I’d be attracted to". Adam's "scent" will go on sale at Macys' stores in the US later this month!
5. Adam Levine and Co performed a three-song acoustic set before an audience full of electronic/technology industry executives at the Venetian Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas as part of the 2013 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) on Monday (January 7th)...Check out pics and video!
Such an unusual occasion for Maroon 5 but if they get paid properly then they can perform wherever they are asked to! Watch in the video below Adam Levine rocking acoustically the band's hits; "One More Night", "This Love" and "Payphone". From the loud cheering I assume the execs dig Maroon 5!

So condescending unnecessarily critical

So watch your step cause if I do you'll need a miracle

You drain me dry and make me wonder why I'm even here
This Double Vision I was seeing is finally clear
You want to stay but you know very well I want you gone
Not fit to funkin' tread the ground that I'm walking on
Chorus:
These are the chords used in chorus

When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love

Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Verse:
What you are doing is screwing things up inside my head
You should know better you never listened to what I've said
Clutching your pillow and writhing in a naked sweat
Hoping somebody someday will do you like I did
Chorus: (This time play the chords from the chorus 4 times, so theres only one break)
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Bridge:
(Just play the C#m chord all the time!)

Does it kill
Does it burn
Is it painful to learn
That it's me that has all the control
Does it thrill
Does it sting
When you feel what I bring
And you wish that you had me to hold
Chorus:
When it gets cold outside and you got nobody to love
You'll understand what I mean when I say
There's no way we're gonna give up
And like a little girl cries in the face of a monster that lives in her dreams
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause it's getting harder and harder to breathe
Is there anyone out there cause its gettin harder and harder to breathe

TIPS HOW TO PLAY GUITAR EASY WAY
6 EASY WAYS HOW TO PLAY GUITAR
Step 1: To learn to play guitar the obvious first step is to own a guitar. You can find a good deal on a guitar on EBay or other auction sites. You can also find a cheap guitar with decent sound quality at Costco. If you are already relatively serious about learning to play guitar however, it is probably a good idea to buy a well-made guitar. It is always nice to have a guitar around to pick up and play. And even if you play infrequently, guitars are good to have around for parties or just hanging out with friends. For the guys out there: girls love guitars. For the girls: guys love guitars. There is nothing better than being able to play a recognizable anthemic ballad (think Tom Petty's "Freefallin" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believing") for your friends after a drink or three.

If you are already relatively serious about learning to play guitar however, it is probably a good idea to buy a well-made guitar. It is always nice to have a guitar around to pick up and play. And even if you play infrequently, guitars are good to have around for parties or just hanging out with friends. For the guys out there: girls love guitars. For the girls: guys love guitars. There is nothing better than being able to play a recognizable anthemic ballad (think Tom Petty's "Freefallin" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believing") for your friends after a drink or three.
*Tip: A decent guitar will cost you from $75 to $200. A very nice guitar will cost you upward or $300. Seagull is the company that made my guitar. They make excellent guitars for all levels of players.
Step 2: Learn basic "open chords." These are chords like open C, G, A, and D. There is a joke that rock and roll songs in general follow the G-C-D chord progression. So once you learn how to play a few basic chords you will be able to bang out a decent rendition of hundreds of songs. There are several ways to do this. You can buy a book that shows you where to place your fingers on the strings to play certain chords. Or, you can ask a friend to show you how to play the basic chords. Once you learn these chords you are well on your way in your quest to learn to play guitar. You will be playing basic songs on your first day.
*Tip: If you like to be taught, try to get a friend to show you the basics. Sometimes this is the easiest way to learn.

Step 3: Many people these days, me included, learned to play guitar by looking at tablature of songs on the Internet. Tablature is very helpful because it shows you where to put your fingers to play the chords to a song, when to make chord changes, and where the words fall with the music. You can find tablature for tens of thousands of songs on the Internet to help you learn to play guitar. It is a great way for people who can't read music to teach themselves to play. If you don't have Internet access or it is otherwise inconvenient to look up "tabs" online, you can also buy books of tablature by your favorite artists. Download or play a CD of the song you want to learn and try to play along with it while looking at the tablature.
*Tip: Do a google search like this: "Tom Petty Freefalling tab" or "Red Hot Chili Peppers" tabs and you should get a bunch of sites to go check out.

Step 4: Learn to play barre chords. For me, this was the next step when I started to learn to play guitar. Barre chords are basically chord "shapes" that can be moved up and down the neck of the guitar. For example, the A shape and the E shape barre chords require the same fingering as the open A and open E chords, but you just need to hold down the open strings with your index finger. When you "barre" a chord with your index finger you are moving the top fret down in order to get in a different key. The best way to learn barre chords is by either using a book and practicing the shapes on your guitar and moving them up and down the neck. Another good way to learn is to look online at tabs of a song you know. Often the author of the tab will include a diagram of a barre chord used in the song.
*Tip: In the beginning, your hands will get cramps and your fingers will be sore, but your hands will soon get stronger and your fingers will develop calluses. It just takes time.
Step 5: Practice. Learning to play guitar can be very rewarding-if you put the time in. Practice playing songs that you like and listen to and it will be more fun. The best way to learn is to play songs, because with a recorded song you have a frame of reference to compare your playing to. And it will help you exponentially if you learn how to play the entire song, not just part of the song. Keep your guitar on a stand and easily accessible so that you can pick it up and practice fingering the fretboard anytime. Pick it up while you are watching TV and silently strum out some chords.
*Tip: Literally every second of practice time you put into playing the guitar will make you a better player. After a while, you will be able to effortlessly slide between chords and hit the right notes.
Step 6: Learn to finger pick. Some songs are entirely composed of finger picking. There are many different styles of finger picking. It takes some time to get comfortable with how your fingers are supposed to move, but once you get it down, its like clock-work and your fingers will almost pick by themselves. I recently found some videotaped lessons in fingerpicking on www.youtube.com. Search on the site under "guitar playing," "finger picking guitar" or "learn to play guitar" and you should find some helpful videos that show you how songs are played. It is very helpful to actually see how a song is played.
*Tip: Practice makes perfect when you are learning to play guitar, or any instrument for that matter. Great songs to learn picking to are "The Boxer" by Paul Simon and "Cal fornication" by Red Hot Chili Peppers.
My last bit of advice: Learn to play guitar! You will not regret the time you spend on it.
