    Derek Trucks Band on NPR today!

    Derek Trucks and his band (with Susan Tedeschi) dropped into the studio at World Cafe Live today and recorded three live tunes. Check it out. Derek's playing is an awe-inspiring experience, and these songs confirm that. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=99800401

    Guess the song!

    It has been a while, so here is the title: "Under the Blade" by Twisted Sister.

    Nice Deal? Palomino V3212 30W 2x12 Guitar Combo Amp

    Last year, I had and returned that same V32 model. First, it was incredibly loud and rattled past volume "3" due to the overly accentuated low-frequency vibrations. I tightened everything, but it still rattled. Additionally, the face plate on the amp got so hot I could almost fry and egg on...

    RIP Jerry Reed

    It is a sad loss to the music world. He was one of the best pickers in my book. Ashamedly, I first knew Jerry Reed as the guy on Smokey and the Bandit. It was only later that I discovered his lightning guitar playing -- glad I did.

    '51 guard?

    Too much pickguard; not enough wood.

    Video demo of Steve Vai's new Ibanez Jemini pedal

    Awesome Vai concept! This is so creative and typical of Steve's sense of humor. Great post.

    Carvin bolt kit

    I built and owned two bolt kits in the past. I bought them when they were $299.00 base price with free shipping about five years ago. The guitars were stellar in every way (except my botched finish). Stupidly, I sold them to finance a "new" guitar purchase. :thwap: Every time I played that...

    Crate amp blowout

    I am leary when MF says they are "availible in 32 days" for a blowout item. They had them in stock about two hours ago. I assume they are sold out, and there most likely won't be any more coming in to MF stock. That V18 for $149 was an incredible price! If you used the "SV10" code ($10 off)...

    Crate amp blowout

    Aw, c'mon, Spud! I just bought a G-Dec 30 this morning. Now my wallet is throbbing. And $149.00 for that 18 watt 112 is unheard of!:drool: If you buy the V5 for $99.00 you can use the "sv10" ($10 off) code and get the amp for $89.00 and free shipping. :AOK:

    Guess the song!

    A glint of steel A flash of light You know you're not going home tonight Be it jack or switch Doctor's or mind Nowhere to run, everywhere you'll find You can't escape From the bed you've made When your time has come, you'll accept the ...

    Guess the song!

    Fear of the dark. Fear of the da-ark. I have the constant fear that someone's always near. Up the Irons!

    American Music

    I love the Beard, but, to me, they are just not the same without Neal on vocals and Nick behind the kit. Don't get me wrong, anything Spock's Beard has done is full of innovation and merit. However, I long for Neal on vocals and Nick on the drums -- Snow and V are my favs. Thanks for the...

    Line 6 Uber Metal -- New Condition in Box

    I have my Line 6 Uber Metal distortion pedal up for sale. The tone was not my cup of tea -- solid pedal, though, and interchangable with other Line 6 Tone Core modules. It is like new and comes in the original box with all packing and paperwork. I would like to offer it up here before it goes...

    G.E. Smith -- His Tele Promo Vid

    This is kind of old, but G.E. Smith has always been someone I have idolized as a teen in the 80's -- his gig on SNL and his work with Hall and Oates and Bob Dylan. There is something about GE's cool personality and musical vita that screams rock-n-roll. And his Tele promo video makes me want...

    I want a multi effect, but...

    I have a Zoom G1 :AOK: that I use in my pedal chain after external drive/distortion, but I only use the G1 for delays, choruses, eq, gate, and compression. It works and sounds incredible for a digital box. And it only cost me $59.00 new. :)

    Let's Have Some Fogerty Tonight

    There's just something about Fogerty's roots rock tone -- the gritty voice, the grittier guitar -- that makes me want to pick up my guitar and play. I have his Live at the Wiltern Theater 2005 concert on DVD, and every song is played with guts and grit. Thanks for posting this.

    Ibanez SZ520

    Thw SZ series is one of Ibanez's best playing and sounding guitars made in a long while. I cannot believe they are getting rid of the SZ for something more modern looking and MIC. This happened to the SC series as well. I had an SC420BC and it was the Holy Grail for me. Too bad I sold it on...

    New Dokken

    The only Dokken (original line up) disaapointment for me was the 1995 reunion live CD, Live in Japan. I loved hearing Lynch play, but there were times on that CD that he flubbed through some solos and his picking/vibrato seemed uneven and sloppy. Don's vocals on said CD suffered as well. But...

    New Dokken

    I, too, am a huge fan of Tooth and Nail and early Dokken, but Dokken just isn't Dokken without Lynch and Pilson. (edited for spelling)
