Cool video with Guthrie Trapp. I haven’t even had time to watch the whole thing yet! And I got a video of Guthrie performing after the jump!
Catching Up With Jim Campilongo
Fender just posted this. Pretty cool.
The Hold Steady – Spinners
Here is a very cool little lesson by Tad Kubler and Steve Selvidge of The Hold Steady. The song is Spinners–one of my favorites off their new album Teeth Dreams. I like what they have to say at the end about rhythm. Via Guitar World
Red Hot Chili Peppers – I Could Have Lied
I know, I know… more Chill Peppers and more Marty. But this is a good one! John Frusciante rocks!
Restoring a 1966 Fender Telecaster
This guy scored a fairly butchered ’66 Tele off Craigslist and did a full restoration himself. Check out the epic photo thread on TDPRI. Amazing workmanship!
My New MIM Standard Tele
I actually got this MIM Standard Tele a few weeks back, but am finally posting pics now. I bought it off Craigslist for $275. This is the guitar I should have bought first when I started playing again–instead of the cheap Chinese Tele (which I recently gave away). It’s rock solid, has a great sound. On the whole, I’d say it’s slightly better quality than my Blacktop Tele–especially the pots. I’m half considering putting on a vintage bridge and maybe a black pickguard, but I think I’ll play it stock for a while. All I’ve done so far is put on new strings–D’Addario 10-52s (light top, heavy bottom). Pics after the jump with my Blacktop Tele and my Robert Cray Strat.
Beastie Boys – Gratitude
Yeah, I know, all I do lately is repost Marty stuff, but he’s been doing some great ones!
Jack White – Lazaretto
Cool riff from my favorite new album.
New Bob Mould
To continue the Minneapolis theme, here’s a cool new interview with Bob Mould, who just released a new album.
The Replacements Are Back Together?
I don’t how I missed this but it appears that The Replacements have started playing shows again. Well, anyway, Paul Westerberg and Tommy Stinson are back together. I think this is great news. I haven’t seen them since they toured to support Please To Me Meet back in the late 80s. One of the all time greats… Via The Replacements Facebook page
