I found this cheap import guitar at the used shop and am amazed at thelevel of quality and playability of the guitar. I've been looking for a shredder, metal, wild, pyrotechnic type guitar to play around with and pretend I'm Eddie or George.

This week's episode is about how our ears change for better and sometimes for the worse. Check out how Eddie Van Halen's taste and ear has changed through the years.

I got a few questions and I am trying to catch up on them. This week I'll talk about online guitar lessons, how my strat is setup, my views and advice on tremolos and scales.

The annual Indiana Guitar Show was just a few weeks ago and I thought I'd share the experience.

An old friend of mine went to the Paul Reed Smith Experience last week and provided a day by day report of events. I'm green with envy!

Well, this week I tried to divide the podcast into three segments. Let's see how I did. A hot topic of the last few weeks has been the Gibson Raid so I thought I would chime in and give my two cents worth.

Several listeners asked about swapping out pickups and what pickups to buy or try.

A listener asked about how to value guitars as well as buying and selling on ebay, craigslist and local dealers.

A listener asked about guitars opening up over time.

This week I want to update you on the progress with the old organ amp I found in my father-in-law's barn loft.
