Playing with tone

Don’t be a knob snob, that is my advice and second advice is... follow suggestions to prove them wrong or right. I don’t have much patience when it comes to trying things out, usually I just try to plug in... Continue Reading →

Going custom

"Custom"... that is such a sexy word for guitar players, for some of us getting a custom is just reaching the top! -of guitar shopping that is- So 2 years ago I decided to give myself a birthday present... and this... Continue Reading →

A day in NYC…(support the locals!!)

So I recently went on holiday to the Big City, did the typical touristy stuff but I wanted to do something special with the music stores... of course we can go to Guitar Center and fool around with pretty much... Continue Reading →

MXR Dyna Comp

Review of a classic... this pedal has been around for ages, more precisely it was released in the 70s and according to Wikipedia it instantly became a "Nashville Standard" I've only had this pedal for 6 months or so, so... Continue Reading →

Ohhhh the pick!

I'm not trying to be "picky"  but... plectrums are important. They are the ones responsible of translating our amazing right hand ability to our strings, and we can never have enough of them. I've decided a few weeks ago to... Continue Reading →

My guitar bleeds?? [treble]

Strings, the soul of our guitar

The title of this post is not an understatement... Strings are very important just as important as tyres are for cars, surely you can drive with worn tyres, but you'll probably slip at some point! Every time I change my strings... Continue Reading →

Is it worth buying the real deal?

We choose this "profession" because we like music... and we probably have a favourite band and a favourite musician, and this guy/girl will use certain type of gear, so when we start our guitar playing journey we always try to sound like... Continue Reading →

Keeping your guitars safe

We all love our guitars (main reason why you visit this great website) but one of the issues I had in the past was... storing them, because we don't want to actually store them, we want to have them handy... Continue Reading →

A decent practice session

It's a well known fact that musicians have a hard time getting a decent practice session where we live, doesn't matter if it's a house or a small flat you'll always be bothering someone if you try to drive the tubes on your amp.... Continue Reading →

1979 Gibson SG Standard

This SG belongs to the loved/hated Norlin era. This means it was built between 1970 and sometime around 1986, loads of guitar enthusiasts hate this era and they will swear that they are the worst guitars Gibson has ever built,... Continue Reading →

1971 Gibson SG Standard

Iconic guitar and of course my favourite. This is not just a great example of Gibson's craftsmanship but it is also Angus Young's first SG, featuring the addition of the volute to the headstock and the "made in USA" stamp,... Continue Reading →
