The very first step toward learning to play acoustic guitar is to develop confidence and to destroy that “I can’t do it” mentality. Your biggest obstacle in your acoustic guitar playing is not going to be money, time, or the absence of a good teacher. The biggest obstacle is going to be [...]
From Canada like a cool blast come two new electric guitars with some refreshingly independent features and approaches to construction.
Godin’s Radiator is a simple yet different take on what a budget instrument can offer, particularly in the looks department. In addition to that bigger-than-yours pearloid pickguard, there are pearloid-buttoned enclosed tuners and pearl-capped Tele-style chrome [...]
I read that Eddie Van Halen waxes his pickups and boils his strings. Can you tell me why he does this and how I can do it myself?

Winding in the pickup tend to become loose over time. Waxing (or “potting”) a pickup prevents loose windings from vibrating and becoming microphonic, a condition that results in [...]
Hamer Artist Vanguard Electric Guitar Review

Pride and Joy is probably one of the most famous original songs written by Stevie. A great blues shuffle that will encourage anyone (including your grandma) to get up on their feet and shake their bum bum.
Now before I show the tab, I’d like to go ahead and say that the guitar tabs on this [...]
One thing that I never did hear alot about nor think alot about, was Stevie’s personality. I mean, we unlucky ones that never got a chance to meet him can only wonder what it would be like to sit down and have a beer with one of the greatest electric blues guitarists of all time.

“Lenny” was written for Stevies wife Lenora. It was the 10th track on their first album “Texas Flood”. Stevie also named one of his guitars Lenny, after her. It’s a beautiful song and produces very rich clean guitar tones. It’s played in 4/4 time. Enjoy!
