The Fender PT-100 Guitar Stage Tuner
  Figure  1 - The Fender PT-100 chromatic guitar tuner I think i’ve found one of the most useful pieces of equipment any guitarist can own! Such statements shouldn’t be made lightly, but in this case I stand by it. If you need a new tuner you really should consider this one. In the PT-100, Fender have [...]
John Lennon Limited Edition Casinos by Epiphone
Figure 1 - The John Lennon 1965 Casino In the 1960s Epiphone Casinos were ‘in’. And John Lennon wasn’t the only Beatles to own one. In fact Paul McCartney and George Harrison both had Casinos, as did Keith Richards of the Rolling Stones. But it was Lennon who became most associated with the instrument, most famously playing it on [...]
Gibson ?Inspired by? Dave Grohl DG-335
Figure 1 - The Dave Grohl DG-335. 2007 has seen a wide range of guitars leave the Gibson factory doors; from the standard instruments that are the companys bread and butter, to limited-number special-edition instruments: the Guitar of the Week range, numerous historical reissues, and of course the Inspired By range.

Bass Guitar Strings
  A new set of strings can do wonders for a bass. If the old set have been on for a while, the sound they produce will be dull and lifeless. Old strings can be the cause of fret buzz and intonation problems, and in a worse-case scenario could snap during performance. How long a string takes to [...]
Gibson SG Reissue Bass
Some designs just don’t go out of fashion. Its been 46 years since Gibson redesigned the Les Paul, giving it those batwing cutaways and characteristic translucent cherry finish - and they haven’t looked back. Be it guitar or bass, the SG has attitude, and plenty of it. Although the shape has seen continual use on guitars, [...]
Choosing Between Time-Based Distortion Pedals
Time-based distortion pedals (we’re talking flange, echo, an chorus) are less widely used as other types of distortion, but are still the best option for some of the more unique sounds that come from distortion pedals. Much of these effects are great for solos, but some practical uses that the everyday guitar player would experience exist [...]
Are Pop Filters Necessary for Recording?
Not a whole lot of guitar players cash in on the benefits of a pop filter, but no one can blame them. Most of the affordable pop filters break or fail within weeks of having them- or don?t even work at all. This has led a lot of innovative guitar players who are looking to [...]
Fender Automatic Guitar Tuner AG-6 Review
Fender decided to mix up the guitar tuner industry norms with the Fender Automatic Guitar Tuner AG-6. We?ve all seen the tell-tale signs of a cheap guitar tuner, but Fender is covering its tracks with the AG-6 model. In fact, this model has a few innovative design features- a backlit display, for example. The first [...]
Alternate Picking - Is it Worth the Effort?
Alternate picking is said to provide more sustain and tone control, as stated by guitar legends such as Steve Morse. This type of picking pattern takes more time to learn than natural picking patterns such as directional picking. Most guitar players seek to use a hybrid of the two picking patterns instead, so the best [...]
Music Theory - The Importance of Rhythm
Rhythm is one of the three building blocks of music theory. Without it, timing wouldn’t exist- much like the basic tablature system lacks timing and rhythm. For music theorists who take the time to learn the three building blocks of music theory- rhythm, harmony, and melody; the payout will be enormous in the long run. Figure [...]
