have you tried Joost yet? I was one of the original beta testers a while back and found it to be a) unusable due to bandwidth and b) lacking anything to watch.
My, have things changed.
After talking to another guitar enthusiast the other day, he told me I should give it another go. And he was right. Featured on Joost now is the GuitarWorld channel, featuring the video lessons and reviews from the magazine's cover discs. While you don't get the full benefit of the lessons without the accompanying tabs, the equipment reviews are fantastic.
If you haven't got Joost I highly recommend you check it out. It's a great time killer (and yes that is Zakk Wylde in the above screenshot).
Yeah, it sounds weird, but again it shows how good Mayer is. He is possible the most under appreciated guitarist in the world. Here is his interpretation of the interlude from Timberlake's LoveStoned song. This is brilliant.
For those not wanting to spend all the money on a Gibson Robot, this may be a coll alternative. It's a tuner that replaces your standard volume control. Check out the video to see how it works.
What are these guys on? I love companies that don't take themselves too seriously. Electro-Harmonix is one of them. The demonstrate the new Electro-Harmonix Stereo Electric Mistress they have concocted another bizarre video. Check it out.
I need to get me some of them LED rings. They are very cool. The pedal sounds very cool too. I still find it hard to go past my trusty MXR Phase 90 re-issue though.
Diesel has always been one of my favourite guitarists. Even back in the "Injectors" days, I found myself rocking out to the blues rock styling of the man in question. So the news that he was bringing out an instructional DVD had me salivating profusely. Diesel is without a doubt one of the most underrated guitarists/singers in the world today. His solo performances are something not to be missed.
Diesel is currently touring around Australia with the following dates.
