Les Paul Tribute
Les Paul’s birthday just passed; he would have been 95!

Battle of The Instant Bands
Thanks to my Facebook friends for bringing this to my attention. This is so cool and crazy! NBC’s Late Night host Jimmy Fallon invites random audience members up that say they’re musicians, and gets them to form into two impromptu bands. Each band gets twenty minutes to come up with a band name, write a [...]
Steve Howe
Steve Howe, one of our favorite guitarists, celebrates his birthday today. He was born April 8th, 1947, and cites his early influences as Les Paul and Chet Atkins, who could play any style of music on guitar. Howe joined Yes in 1970 and helped create their prog rock sound. As the group’s lineup changed over [...]
Gibson Guitar iPhone App
Cary at electric-guitar-review.com posted about a great new iPhone app for guitar. Gibson Guitars has built a killer guitar app; it’s got a chromatic and standard tuner, metronome, chord dictionary, and lesson videos. The learnandmaster.com video guitar lessons are well done, with chord window insets during the instruction. I like the direct link to Gibson’s [...]

Top 10 Monster Hits of Halloween

31st Annual Dallas International Guitar Festival
It’s time for the Guitar Show! I always find something new to see or hear. A friend went yesterday and said to check out the Stevie Ray Vaughan museum in the back. It’s small but they have some genuine articles there, so it’s worth the trip. But this show is always worth the trip and [...]

There’s a Slide Show plus other nostalgic views of these mechanical marvels, including a Vintage Video, tour the Wurlitzer factory. My favorite is their listing of All Time Jukebox Hit Singles. I just love the old Wurlitzer jukeboxes. Their neon colors would beckon me closer [...]
Gibson no Guitar Hero?
We’ve read several confusing and conflicting reports about Gibson Guitars suing over the patent regarding the Guitar Hero and Rock Band video games. The timing seems suspicious. Is it that these huge corporations waited until they saw the huge profits coming in from the overwhelming popularity of these games? Finally we came upon this updated [...]
Derek Trucks
If you have never seen Derek Trucks play the guitar, you have really been missing something. He is the nephew of Allman Brothers drummer, Butch Trucks. Derek Trucks with the Allman Brothers Band performing “Dreams” on his Gibson SG. He’s so amazing, the SG should stand for Super Guitarist. Or SSG for Super Slide Guitarist. [...]
1968 Gibson SG
There are a lot of great musical things that came out of 1968. The 1968 Gibson SG is a real beauty. Here’s a video of Eric Clapton playing his psychedelic SG in ’68, during his Cream days. You can hear the unique tone he used in that group. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4vxOoSS5RY[/youtube] 1964 Gibson Les Paul SG, first [...]
