    Inspector Gadget on guitar

    Inspector Gadget on guitar

    OK. I normally like to kick off the newsletter with some insightful commentary, but this time a simple video will have to do. If you have not seen this one, might as well see it now, Inspector Gadget on guitar. I have no idea who this person is, but the slide part at the end is so cool.

    Off with her head! (1986 Ibanez Axstar AX75 Guitar)

    Off with her head! (1986 Ibanez Axstar AX75 Guitar)

    By Michael Wright, The Different Strummer

    Maybe it was punk rock, with its rejection of good guitar playing. More likely it was punk's more popified successor New Wave which opted for tasty yet understated guitar textures (in tune), though still without the slashing guitar solos, matching costumes accepted. Think Andy Summers and the Police.

    1966 Wurlitzer Gemini Guitar

    1966 Wurlitzer Gemini Guitar

    by Rob Roberge

    One of the very cool (for gear heads) fallouts of the Beatles on Ed Sullivan was the great amount of small, oddball guitar makers trying to strike it rich in the 65- 68 era. Plenty of small makers from all over the world got the idea that they would go into the guitar business. 1965 was, by far, the biggest year in guitar production up to that point. But then a strange thing happened.

    Maximize Low Volume Guitar Tone

    Maximize Low Volume Guitar Tone

    by Don Mackrill

    This month we take a look at what happens when you listen to an amplified electric guitar at low volume. Admittedly, that's kind of an oxymoron - who cares about playing an electric guitar at low volume, crank it!

    Kirk Lorange - Think Small

    Kirk Lorange - Think Small

    Just because the guitar has six strings doesn't mean you have to constantly go looking for six-note chords, especially if you are playing in a combo of some sort. Remember, barre chords use repeat notes to make up the full six strings. Sometimes its better to use bits and pieces of a chord than the full version. It's easier to insert as a part, and more compact-sounding in a band situation.

    Nat Daniel: Danelectro Founder & SuperOutrigger Inventor

    Nat Daniel: Danelectro Founder & SuperOutrigger Inventor

    By Howard E. Daniel

    A lot of people know about Danelectro - especially the now-retro-looking electric guitars, which have become collector's items and have even given rise to that sincerest form of flattery, a company of the same name as the 1940s, 50s and 60s Danelectro, which manufactures reproductions of the original instruments, and another company that also issues reproductions, albeit without the name.
