Want To Block Your Strat?
Just got a Strat and am considering doing this…
Larry DiMarzio’s 1951 Telecaster
Super cool video, especially if you are a Fender fan!
Magic Chords
Ok now I’m starting to watch a bunch of Wallimann’s videos. Pretty cool guy. (You can skip to about the 2:00 mark if you want to avoid the preamble.)
Best Pickup Comparo Ever?
Short, concise, to the point and brilliantly illustrates the difference between the stock Tele pickups and the DiMarzio Area Ts. Definitely how it’s done!
More CAGED
Even after watching the video below, I was still struggling a bit with the whole CAGED thing. But thanks to this tutorial on guitartutoronline.com, I think I got it.
Best Travel Electric Guitar?
Looks like I’m going to be traveling more for work now, so I’ve been geeking out on travel electric guitars. There is an excellent post at The Unique Guitar Blog. Surfing around a bit, I was able to find a found a few more options. So this post will just focus on my favorites.
So the first question you should ask is, why not just bring your regular guitar? You can take it in a hard case. Or even a gig bag. If you need it to be smaller, you can remove the neck. And if you remove the neck a lot, you can add threaded neck inserts like this guy on Strat Talk.
The CAGED System
Heard of the CAGED system? It’s pretty cool, and this is one of the better explanations I’ve seen.
Guitar Zero
If you’re getting a late start on the guitar and want some inspiration, check out Guitar Zero by Gary Marcus. It’s an entertaining look at how we learn music, and how age impacts the process.
Pink Floyd Wish You Were Here
Looks like Marty made two videos for this song. I’m still working on the first video but the second video has more on the intro solo.
