Here is a quick shred lesson from Demi Barbito using his new Eastwood GP. Enjoy!

Guitar Lesson from ShredAcademy.com from MyRareGuitars.com

Last month I was alerted to someone shredding on an AIRLINE MAP Guitar. Although cool, it just seemed weird to me. Beautiful, but weird. After a few days I noticed I was putting my shoes on the wrong feet, driving on the wrong side of the road, and leaving the toilet seat up. Something was wrong. So I contacted Demi Barbito and asked him to clear my mind by shredding on one of the few models I felt shred-worthy in the Eastwood lineup – the Eastwood GP. He obliged, now all seems right again:

If you missed the first one on the AIRLINE MAP, here it is. But be warned, you’ll have to watch the Eastwood GP video again before operating heavy equipment:

Please drop a line to Demi and say hello, he is a pure talent, here is another example:

Music Video: 'Got to Lose' by Hollerado

Check out the new video from Hollerado produced by Greg Jardin. Amazingly it was done in one take, with one camera. Watch it a few times and you will get a sense of how difficult it is to pull this off. As an added bonus, the AIRLINE guitars and straps look awesome!

Shawn Fogel: Neutral Uke Hotel

On his way to NXNE this spring, long time Eastwood customer Shawn Fogel and some members of his two bands dropped by Eastwood for a visit. Shawn’s most recent project – Neutral UKE Hotel – covers the classic indie pop album “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in its entirety. But with Ukulele’s? Can you make awesome, awesomer? I think so. We asked him to give us a sneak peek, so they pressed a couple of AIRLINE Electric Ukuleles into action in the Eastwood Lounge:

If you were fortunate to hook up with In the Aeroplane Over the Sea when it was first released in 1998, you will love Fogel’s Ukulele rewrite. If you missed it, never to late to pick up the Neutral Milk Hotel classic.

It was a pleasure to finally meet Shawn. During his visit he dropped off a copy of his last CD, Golden Bloom, and the big kick for me – two weeks later – is that I still have this CD in play every day. For those who know me, that is saying a lot. The collection of songs on “Fan the Flames” is a non-stop carnival ride of power pop classics, hooked filled ballads and toe-tapping pop nuggets. It makes you want to get straight back on the ride as soon as it is over. So here I am, still hitting the PLAY button two weeks later. Fogel played all the instruments on Fan the Flames — piano, bass guitar, tenor sax, keyboards, harmonica, and drums – which is impressive in itself, but when you add a keen sense of song craftsmanship to the mix, I feel obliged to pound the table. Here is a sample track, Dead Petals.

Howdy folks. I saw this video today, and I just had to share it. This post does not pertain to vintage guitars or rare guitars – or really even guitars for that matter. This post is about a band that covered the Legend of Zelda video game theme song, and that’s about it.

This video really takes me back to the first time I fought that final battle with Ganon. Ah, memories. So without further ado, please enjoy I Fight Dragons covering a song from one of the greatest video games of all time.

Nope, that is a GIBSON non-reverse Firebird. About FIVE times more expensive than our Stormbird – had me fooled for a moment too. So why am I writing about this? Because the band was awesome! What a great performance by Gossip! As soon as I saw this I went to ITunes and bought their 2005 release, Standing in the Way of Control. A great merger of Punk and Soul. Check out the video and you decide…
