    Jimmy Page inducts Link Wray into the RRHOF

    I never thought I'd ever see him on stage w/ a guitar again, so was pleasantly surprised to see this this morning. A very fitting tribute to Wray, especially having someone w/ Page's stature bringing attention to Wray's immense importance in helping shape the future, namely the attitude, of...

    Chicken Pickin'

    No....not this kind!! I'm talking country/rock/rockabilly chicken pickin. 🤓 Like this... (I can even feel some of the same ruckus jamming flavors as you'd get in a live 69 Zep in this stuff! 👍🏻) There's times when I find myself in the mood to go down the YouTube rabbit hole and...

    Django's guitar

    Just came across this picture. Sometime in the mid/late 80's, Les Paul had a gathering of friends and notable musicians at his house in NJ. Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones attended. Well, Les Paul, knowing Page's absolute favorite guitarist is Django Reinhardt, surprises him by breaking out THE...

    Been digging into some Flamenco vids.

    I've been quickly falling in love with these vids! Any vids from guitarist Manitas De Plata, especially w/ or playing the songs of José Reyes. Just hauntingly gorgeous stuff. (y)

    Amazing piece by Nuno Bettencourt

    It's already over 10 yrs old, but was completely new to me. Last I'd heard of him was around 1990 when his big hit with Extreme was the tune More Than Words. He's a badass w/ a very rhythmic/percussive style. This piece really blew me away. 🤘:cool:🤘 (The thinline guitar sounds damn good as well!)

    Is this M-80 original?

    I have no idea about these guitars and their history. From a pic search on Guild M-80's, I've only ever seen four pots...or w/ a single mini toggle and a 5th pot (master vol?) Just wondering...as I might have this fall in my lap for relatively cheap. (and if cheap enough, I won't really care if...

    Turning old....into gold!! (Audio)

    The recent Beatles Revolver boxed set discussion about making music sound "modern" prompted me to post this find. How about taking REALLY old crackly mono recordings and deconstructing them via spectral seperation, then processing individual frequencies as desired, then remixing w/ added...

    Binding=$$..and not much else.

    For starters, I've owned 3 other Les Pauls in the past, a 76 cherryburst custom being the guitar I played most back in my band days. (damn boat anchor!) Then I went close to 20 yrs without an LP. Then I took the winnings of my football pool 6 yrs ago and bought a LP studio "1960 Tribute" (Gold...

    50th anniversary of Aerosmith.

    The band is putting out 5 full concert videos for free on YouTube (one per week, per decade) Last week was a real classic, 77 @ the Summit in Houson. Absolute Peak Aerosmith IMO!! Today....Capital Centre 89...a show I attended. Watching it now. A MUCH better show then I faintly remember. Good...

    I'm thinking about getting one of these non Fender sounding Fenders.

    No, not the Bassbreaker, which is Fender's version of the British sound... I'm talking about this unique "Pawn Shop Series" Excelsior amp from 2012-13. 13 watt tube goodness loaded w/ a 15". Has a volume knob, and a bright/dark tone toggle, plus a tremolo on/off/speed knob. It has a split...

    $25 concert tix sale (Live Nation/Ticketmaster) until tues the 10th!!

    Just a heads up.... A friend in Jacksonville Fla just texted me that Live Nation/Ticketmaster was selling tix to a list of shows (apparently they need to fill some seats!) for $25 a pop, w/ no fees. He got Primus (doing Rush's Farewell to Kings), The Black Crowes, and Tedeshi Trucks band....all...

    New Sustainer Strat.

    Pretty cool. Not that I want one, but would LOVE to tinker w/ one for a couple weeks. I bet it would take you to places none of your other guitars ever have.

    59' Guild 66-J Masteramp gets a "Beast Mode" mod

    Wasn't sure if this had been posted before. (Did a search and didn't see it) I was actually watching some vintage Fender amp vids when I ran across this. Love how the post was titled "Fender Tremolux Killer!" (y) Hans and his book are featured as well.:cool: That sucker sounds amazing when...

    The Vinyl Thread: What are you spinning?

    Anyone still playing their records? I do all the time. Still buying new vinyl as well. To start it off. One of my favs. Haven't played this one in a while. T Rex, The Slider! Sipping a 12 yr Macallen Double oak cask. Life is good! Please tell me there's some folks here that still cherish...

    Anyone have any experience w/ Magnatone amps ? (not the new ones)

    I know several of the vintage ones are highly regarded for their clean tones....and especially for their innovative pitch shifting vibrato (unlike volume shifting tremolo most amp makers called vibrato!) . One model I'm interested in in particular is the 260. I've done some research and these...

    Peace Through Music: A global event for the environment, featuring over 200 artists.

    Very well done! (My fav part (of course) starts at 23:45 where a dozen+ artists play When The Levee Breaks (featuring John Paul Jones and Derek Trucks!! Two of my alltime favs!!) (y) The whole thing is worth a viewing IMO. Visually stunning, and very well performed. Enjoy.

    Hey Mods!

    No, not the site moderators (and thanks for your work btw. I haven't been here long, but I noticed right off the bat that I have found a well oiled machine that is LTG. (y) ) I'm talking about guitar mods!! Your 6 string hot rods! My go-to solid body electric for the last few decades has...
