Ok, these days I had a lot of fun because from my point of view I was involved in a very interesting project! If you remember that last week I made a musical article about the YouTube Symphony Orchestra 2011 in which I would like to participate playing a guitar solo improvisation for their rhythmic section. I also promised to post my contest video here at this guitar blog as soon as I will finish it in order for you to see and discuss it! So, here... 

Another interesting thing I’m gonna do in the next few days is to submit my video guitar improvisation to the YouTube Symphony Orchestra audition. The first time when I watched the video from the official YouTube Symphony Orchestra channel – I couldn’t believe my eyes, because the first thing which came into my mind was that this is a really great opportunity for a musician to be seen by millions of eyes and maybe even to build a... 

Today I was staying at home thinking about the factors why some guitarists have the luck of being famous and successful and others spend their whole life singing and playing in different clubs in front of 50 people. I don’t mean that playing in clubs it’s not the right level, sometimes a club concert can give your audience a better energy and emotions, but I’m sure that all of you first of all wish a stadium full of people jumping... 

Dave Mustaine - A Heavy Metal Memoir Book Review Today I am gonna talk about a book which every self respected thrash metal guitar player should have in his musical library! Do you have a musical library? If no, then I advise you to start collecting some books, movies and everything else because a real musician should know lots of things about music itself besides just playing his favorite instrument. So, “Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir”... 

The Blue Noize Blues Competition Winner I am writing this post because finally these days the winner of the blue noize guitar contest was announced! You can read the detailed information from the original source, but what I want to do is just to add a little notice why the winner is the winner, because from my point of view there where really many good solos and I think that it was hard to decide which one was the best of the best …it’s... 

Ok, I think that now is the right time for me to show you my entry for the nowadays popular “Blue Noize Guitar Solo Competition” about which I wrote about a month ago! As you see, I really know to keep my promises. First of all – it was very interesting for me to watch and analyze what other competitors submitted – I found that there were really many beautiful, tasty solos which were played by really professional guitarists...

I’m very happy that today I have some free time to say “hello” again to the online guitar community and to all the readers of my blog. During the last three weeks I had big changes in my life and the most important one is that “I GOT MARRIED”. I also moved to another apartment and spent two weeks at the sea shore… the worst thing was that the wi-fi internet in the hotel I lived was 6$ per hour – at first I... 

Ok, I think that it’s time for me to make another review of a fuzz effect pedal. As you already know, this blog is about everything fuzz pedals, fuzzy riffs, solos and so on. So, today we gonna talk about the Dunlop Fuzz Face guitar effects pedal. First of all, I would like to mention the official Jim Dunlop web page where you can find lots of other information about their products, and the official page of Fuzz Face itself – it’s... 

I remember the times when I was 14 years old, I was playing guitar about eight hours a day, my list of friendly musicians was always growing, I was playing guitar even at school with some classmates. I was totally happy with the way I was living – but there was something which I couldn’t find enough in my city! Those were the video tapes with professional lessons of famous guitarists. There were only two musical shops in my city, so –...
