| Greetings!
If you have not already discovered them, we have two new
things for you this month: 1) Sound
Samples at the new EASTWOOD Guitars Website and 2) My Rare Guitars FORUM.
Please take a moment to check out these new
resources!
This month Joey Leone follows up his list of Top
10 Guitars with his 10 Greatest Guitar Songs.
Nothing like a TOP-10 list to stir up some debate! This month
features one of my favorite writers, (who happens to be a
guitar freak) Rob
Roberge. Rob shares some fantastic insight and tips when
searching for your next ODDBALL AMP.
June's "Dealer Of The Month" hails from Italy,
Xabier Iriondo from SOUND metaK. Check out his bio. We also
have a new two part story from Larry Payne about his Life in Guitarland and Michael
Wright ropes us in with his Round up for a Texas
Longhorn. Even yours truly is pulling out the typewriter
to share my recent story about Bill Nelson. Enjoy!

Reconnecting with Bill Nelson
Twenty Eight years ago in Toronto, CANADA, an 18 yr
old music fan slipped backstage, unnoticed by the distracted
security people. Up a staircase, down a hall, then back down
another staircase. He heard voices coming from the bands
dressing room. He quietly stepped inside and said, "Mr.
Nelson, will you please autograph my Album?" The memory seems
like it was just yesterday. There, standing in front of me was
my guitar hero, Bill Nelson of Be Bop Deluxe.

Spaghetti Westerns. Justice by Clint. The Duke as Hondo.
Cattle drives, horses, chaps, revolvers, rustlers, Rangers and
the Red River Valley. It's the image of Texas that runs
through our blood like a celluloid river. But even though this
Hondo II Longhorn hails from Texas, like Eastwood's films
directed by Italians and filmed in Spain, there's a lot more
behind the story! Here's the beef.

This past month or so I found myself having the same
conversation several different times with several different
people. That conversation centered around the question, "what
were the greatest guitar solos on record"? I tend to go for
the usual ones, but there are some great guitar sounds, not
necessarily just solos, that are also worth mentioning. So
folks here are my thoughts on the ten "Greatest guitar
songs".

We've seen them before. Some articles seem to be written by
people whose primary fixation in life is "me, me, me."
Everything they experience is viewed through the same
me-colored lens, which, with its haze of scratches and
fingerprints from excessive vanity, makes the most trifling of
life's events seem ageless, even grand. This is one of those
articles. Hold on, though. There's more to it than
that...

You dig oddball guitars and strange, rare equipment. Sure,
a Fender Telecaster's a great guitar (I have a 1969, and I
love it), but there's something about the weird ones that
pulls you in or you wouldn't be reading this newsletter.
Fenders, Gibsons and the rest of the big boys are fine, but if
you want a guitar that looks like a kitchen counter, perhaps
made out of something more...uh...interesting or futuristic
than wood...or one with more buttons than your uncle?s
accordion (and you know you do!), you are forced off the
beaten path to find your treasure.

SOUND metaK - Italy
I met with Xabier in Frankfurt Germany a few month ago at
MUSIKMESSE. I soon realized he shares the same passion for
bizarre guitars as we all do. His shop in Milano, Italy has an
eclectic mix of cool vintage guitars, pedals, music and other
stuff. Please drop him a line!
