Oct 23, 2007 | Guitar Amps, Guitar Reviews
Before I plugged into this amp for the first time – I’d never heard of the “B-52” brand. I almost didn’t try it out, figuring it was another Randall or Crate wannabe budget brand. But I overheard this other guy going on and on and on...

YouTube has so many great guitar videos – both performance and lessons. Sometimes you can find all kinds of weird stuff you didn’t even know existed. I think that Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top is one of the most underrated guitar players out there. He is an...

Stumbling around on the web today I came across this free online metronome! In my practice room I have a computer, and it’s always on when I play because that’s where I keep all the songs I need to learn for the band. I also use it to lookup tab and...
