Apr 16, 2008 | Guitar videos, Van Halen
Here’s a great YouTube video I came across on Create Digital Music where the stage tech’s (or board op) really, REALLY screwed up! The song was Van Halen’s famed “jump”, and the keyboard intro was to be played as a backing track on tape...

For all of you young bucks that never saw this – here is Eddie Van Halen playing at a “Les Paul and Friends” show in 1988 (now some 20 years ago). This would have been about in the prime of Van Halen only 4 years after their 1984 album, that is...

Fender released the Van Halen Frankenstein replica in 2007 and this video is from the NAMM show where Eddie Van Halen talked about it and then performed. This was such a crazy video for me to watch, the quality is good because it was posted on YouTube by Fender...
Feb 26, 2008 | Guitar videos, Ronnie Earl
There are a lot of unsung blues guitar heroes, but the one I find a lot of guitarists still don’t know is Ronnie Earl. I can’t remember the first time I head him, but he’s incredible. I like guitar players that have a distinctive voice – and he...
Dec 11, 2007 | Guitar videos, Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin
There are all kinds of clips appearing on YouTube of the December 10th Led Zeppelin reunion concert in London. Looks like YouTube is deleting all kinds of them at will – so who knows how long these will last. Watch them while you can, this was a Led Zeppelin...
Dec 5, 2007 | Guitar Players, Guitar videos
I was doing a little bit of guitar video surfing on YouTube again today – and I came across a name I hadn’t seen in awhile – “Mattias IA Eklundh”. Mattias is a guitar god you may not know, and may never have even heard of before you read...

Here’s an incredible video of B.B. King playing Sweet 16 during the Rumble in the Jungle. For those of you who don’t remember (or weren’t old enough) the Rumble in the Jungle fight was in 1974 when Muhammed Ali fought George Foreman. It was quite a...
Nov 1, 2007 | Guitar videos, Stevie Ray Vaughan
This is a classic performance of SRV doing Hendrix’s classic Little Wing and a little bit of Third Stone from the Sun. The thing about watching Stevie Ray Vaughan play this live in a video, it’s much different than just hearing it on the radio or a CD. The...
Oct 25, 2007 | Eric Johnson, Guitar videos
One of my all time favorite songs is Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. The original 1983 version on Austin City Limits is probably my favorite version, but I could listen to the dozens of versions of this song over and over and over. I will never get tired of it....
Oct 23, 2007 | Guitar videos, Jimi Hendrix
I usually don’t post so many videos in one day, but I heard this version of Red House when I was listening to Pandora radio today, so I had to see if was on YouTube with video – and it was! This is an amazing version of Hendrix on Red House, it’s a...
