Epiphone has posted a second video guitar lesson from Emile Minasche teaching how to play arpeggios. I’ve posted it below, and along with it, the first video in the series. Have fun.
I’m a sucker for a great blues lick. Blues is easily my favourite kind of music to play, and BB King my favourite blues guitar player. This excellent video from John Truggle features John teaching you, and me, how to play a lick from BB’s Sweet Sixteen.
My friend Danny at GuitarPlayersCenter posted this over the holidays. It’s a fantastic and very detailed explanation of how to replace the nut on an Epiphone Les Paul Studio with a bone nut.
The guys at Jamorama have just re-vamped their website and re-launched the most popular of online guitar lesson packages.
Jamorama Lead and Jamorama Acoustic have been withdrawn and the range now consists of two products: Jamorama Standard, which is $49.95 and Jamorama Deluxe, which is $99.95.
Epiphone’s 1959 Les Paul Standard Limited Edition is modelled, as the name suggests, on the most famous Les Paul of them all — the 1959 Les Paul Standard. Original Gibson Les Paul Standard’s from 1959 change hands for hundreds of thousands of dollars because it’s regarded by many as being the peak of Gibson’s Les [...]
Gibson Guitar will celebrate the life and contributions of guitar and audio recording innovator Les Paul during the month of September, 2009, with events connected to the anniversary of Pauls 1953 #1 Billboard Pop Single, ‘Vaya Con Dios,’ and the release anniversary of his 2005 album, American Made: World Played.
By now you’ll have heard the very sad news that Les Paul has died, aged 94. There’s little I can add here to the glowing tributes that have already come from some of the biggest names in the business. Except to say this: stop for a moment and try and imagine how the last fifty [...]
Music Radar recently reviewed the ES-335 Dot. It’s verdict? “If you fancy a no-nonsense semi with more than a whiff of background and expertise, cast your eyes in Epiphone’s direction. The Dot is a gem.”
“The doctor who attempted to revive Jimi Hendrix on the night that the guitarist died believes that it is ‘plausible’ that he was murdered.” says the Times today.
The Epiphone 1962 Re-issue in White is the second in Epiphone’s Custom Historic USA guitars, following the cherry red Wilshire 1962 Re-issue launched in January.
Like that model, the white version will be very difficult to get hold of, only 100 are being made. The cherry red Wilshire Re-issue sold out immediately, so you really will have to be quick.
