Guitar Review! Home of guitar pedal, pedal board, amp, and guitar reviews.
As musicians we go online to watch and read reviews of new and used gear. You want as much information as you can get before spending your hard earned money. Musicians are never satisfied, or short of opinions. This website is a compilation of gear purchases combined with lessons learned. Maybe you can add some comments and throw your hat into the ring as well while you’re here.

Here's a young guy from France that's just tearing up his own Hendrix medly on YouTube - on a Tele no less! You can tell he's playing through a POD or something, 'cause he's got the perfect Hendrix sound for sure! This medly is very well arranged, and this guy's got...
12 Year Old plays Eruption
This 12 year old guitar player plays "Eruption" and his original song "Break Out". I don't know if this is some kind of talent show or what, but it looks like he has a little cheering section to be sure. It's not perfect, but the the dude was only 12 when this was...
Deep Purple “Burn” Video
One of my favorite songs is Deep Purple's "Burn". It's a song that hasn't been performed live since 1992, you don't hear on the radio a lot. Now, for all you young guitar slingers - here's a little history lesson. You probably know Deep Purple for their signature song...
Digitech Vocalist Live 2 Review for Guitar Players
If you are a working guitarist you have a need for a harmonizer pedal - you just don't know it yet. Usually you have one singer in the band and one backup person if you're lucky. I know a lot of guitarists that from time to time they do a "one man show" acoustic style...
Van Halen Backing Track Disaster
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 (well, not tape really, digital...
Van Halen plays for Les Paul 1988
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 arguably their best...
Powerstrip Liberator for Guitar Players
A pack of adapters for your powerstrip so bulky power cords don't rob half your outlets. Every now and then I see a gadget that I think would be perfect for musicians or guitar players. Today I saw this pack of "powerstrip liberator" plugs that are perfect for a...
Van Halen Frankenstein
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...
Billy Gibbons plays Texas Flood 2008
This is an incredible performance you may not have seen yet, it's Billy Gibbons of "that little 'ol band from Texas" - ZZ Top! He's playing at the Fender gala at NAMM - and he belts out his rendition of "Texas Flood" on his well-worn Telecaster. He talks a little bit...
12 Year Old Girl Shredder
So when you were 12 years old playing in your school talent show - could you do this? This 12 year old GIRL guitar shredder tears it up! She may not be that accurate, but she gets a 10 for stage presence and sheer balls! In addition - she was only 12 here, who knows...

Incredible Harmonic Tapping Acoustic Performance
Eric Mongrain is name I hadn't heard before, but I won't forget it anytime soon. He also plays in a tapping style on his lap like a lot of electric players I've seen, but he plays acoustic and through his use of tapping, harmonics, and percussive techniques (like...
Best Guitar Player Gift
Looking for the best guitar player gift money can buy? You've come to the right place. I can't count the number of completely worthless gifts I've gotten over the years. Beatles calendars, Green Day sweatbands, Greatest Hits of the 80's 4 CD set? Any of these sound...
14 String Warr Guitar is Crazy!
There are a lot of weird guitars out there, but I'd never heard of this "Warr guitar". I'm not for sure, but I counted like 14 strings on this thing with double pickups! That's two seven string guitars side by side! Look at the guitar strap when he plays it, it's so...
Guitarists who play with their feet
It is amazing what you can do if you don't know any other way. It would seem impossible to be able to fluently play the guitar if you had no hands or arms. And yet there are many proficient players out there who have mastered the guitar by only playing it with their...
9 Year Old Guitar God Caught on Video
Here's a video you won't expect, it's an 8 year old guitar god! You think I'm joking, and I have a lot of child guitar prodigy video to feature this week and next, but this is probably the "best of the best" I've seen at that age. Anton Oparin is from Russia, in a...

Guitarist Jeff Healey Dies at Age 41
Today is a very sad day for guitarist as we lay another of our own to rest. Jeff Healey who had been battling cancer for most of his life died at age 41. Jeff meant a great deal to me since he's only two years older, and I can remember first hearing of him just a few...
Guitar Boogie with Tommy Emmanuel
I've never heard of Tommy Emmanuel before this video, but his name I won' soon forget now. He's plays a stunning version of Arthur Smith's "Guitar Boogie" like I've never seen. He plays his acoustic as if it were an electric - and I've not seen someone shred up an...
Andy McKee – “Drifting” on Acoustic Guitar
This Guitar Video with Andy McKee is an incredible performance, and it reminds me a bit of another guitarist who was one of my favorites (and that I should also feaure) - "Stanley Jordan". Although Andy McKee plays acoustic - and Stanley Jordan plays electric. Andy...
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
"I don't know why..ay..ay..." but for some reason "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" was going through my head today. I've thought in the past that I would learn it, because it is one of my favorite guitar songs of all time. It is for many others too, and that's why it's...
Incredible Blues Guitar – 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 does. Just when you...
Vince Mira Video – Johnny Cash would be proud
Well, you guitar slingers might not be big fans of The Ellen show, but I think you'll like this video. Vince Mira was on her show (15 years old), and he's a guitar player too. Watch this video and you'll see him playing "Ring of Fire" by Johnny Cash. What's so special...
Led Zeppelin 2007 Reunion Video – get it while it lasts
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 video you...
