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.

Quinn Sullivan – the blues guitar child prodigy you won’t forget
Here's one you won't soon forget - I want you to watch this video of Quinn Sullivan. He's 8, he has his own band, and he probably plays better than you do! Apparently he loves The Beatles, his dad plays the drums in his band, and he's been playing and performing since...
Incredible two handed guitar version White Christmas
Here's another video I found on YouTube of an incredible guitar player named Zack Kim. I haven't seen anyone play two handed guitar since Stanley Jordan back in the 80's. The think I find unique about this guy is that he actually plays two handed on two different...
Canon Rock Guitar Video by FunTwo
You've probably seen this one before, I'd be surprised if you didn't, but it's work watching again! Here's a YouTube video of 22 year old Korean guy who goes by "FunTwo" on YouTube. It's an incredible piece of work, I believe that in various versions this video was...
Really Weird Guitars to Die For
I was reading the news this morning when I came across this post about weird guitars. Of course I just HAD to post that here for you! I think that post was compiled from different places across the web since I'd seen one or two of these before. But the rest were new...
Mattias IA Eklundh – Freak Guitar God!
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 this post here on Guitar...
B.B. King’s incredible video Sweet 16 Performance
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 spectacle (as...
The Line 6 POD X3 Live Guitar Processor – the BEST out there
The new Line 6 POD X3 Live has come out in the last few weeks, and I have to say I'm pretty excited about it. I've been looking at "guitar processors" for quite some time, but none of the all-in-one guitar boards really caught my fancy. I have a small digitech pedal...
Slash Tells All – The Guitar Bio Book You Must Read
So I'm listening to Howard Stern yesterday and he has a 45-50 minute interview with Slash from Guns and Roses and Velvet Revolver. He's written an auto-biography of his life with writer Anthony Bozza in a new 480 page epic book. I listened intently to the interview,...
Stevie Ray Vaughan performs Little Wing Video
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 visual...
Warren Haynes and Derek Trucks Acoustic Slide Video
This is a great video I found on YouTube of Derek Trucks and Warren Haynes playing dual slide acoustic guitar on "My Old Friend". These guys really take the modern version of the Allman Brothers Band to the next level. Both Warren and Derek are great on their own, but...
Eric Johnson Live 2005 – Cliffs of Dover
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....
Shure SM58 Mic – Anything else just sucks
I've had cheap mic's. I've had offbrand mic's. I've had mic's that came free with a microphone stand. I've even had mic's that cost $50-$100. But I'm here to say that the legend is true, there is nothing in the world like a Shure SM58. It is literally indestructable....
John Paul Jones – Led Zeppelin’s Behind the Scenes Genius
Led Zeppelin is one of the bands that helped to define rock music history. The musical legacy that they have left will live on for countless generations. Many bands influenced music, but Zeppelin helped to define an entire genre. The defining pieces of their legacy...
Jimi Hendrix – Red House Atlanta Video
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 reminder to all you...
Nuno Bettencourt Videos – A Guitar Legend
I have a select few guitarists that are my absolute all-time list of 'favorites' and Nuno is one of them. You may remember Nuno from the band "Extreme" in the 80's, and if you've played guitar since that time you know as a player, that his songs are something you just...
B-52 AT-100 Guitar Amp Head Review: A Ballsy Screamer
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 about this "triple rectifier", and...
Billy Gibbons Guitar Lesson: Playing the Blues
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 awesome blues...
Videos – George Lynch Hair Metal Guitar God Still Today
Remember the 80's? Those were the days - of hair metal, decadence, and debauchery. And the days when the Guitar Gods walked the earth. There were so many, and so many posers as well. One of my favorite bands was Dokken, and the lead guitar player George Lynch was one...
Free Van Halen Tickets 2007 Tour
Van Halen is on tour with David Lee Roth - something that we as fans never thought we'd see. We also didn't think that we'd see Eddie's son Wolfgang on the bass in place of Michael Anthony! In my area the tickets for the new Van Halen shows sold out in record time - I...
Pure Nickel Guitar Strings Review – Better Than the Rest
As a guitar player, one of the things you'll spend most on over a lifetime (and nearly every month or two) are strings. I've known a lot of guitar players, and most have a favorite brand and gauge string - and getting someone to switch is much akin to getting a smoker...
Agile Guitar New and Used Review
Agile guitars are a perfect alternative to Gibson Les Paul and Epiphone Les Paul electric guitars. They are much cheaper - and the quality is much better! **UPDATED* April 2008 I've just updated this post and republished it with new info based on the fact that I...
The Musicians Joke Book – Handy for the Stage
You may or may not have seen this one before, but if you perform on the stage I think it's a very handy thing to have. I'm the lead guitar player for my cover band and even though I'm technically not the main lead vocal - I do stand in the middle of the stage. That...
The tuner every guitar player should have
I've owned many tuners, but this is the best. With a standalone tuner you have to plug your axe into that, and once you're tuned up then you have to unplug and plug back into your amp or rig. Rack mounted tuners are nice, but not everyone has a guitar rig that is rack...
Free Online Metronome for practicing
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 lyrics. I actually...
Why I Hate Epiphone Guitars (review)
Consider this my blanket review of all Epiphone guitars in general. At least it was in 2007. Maybe things have changed, but I still don't like Epiphone. I used to go to Guitar Center a lot to check out the guitars they had on hand. I liked to check out a bunch of...
