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... 

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... 

We live in a century when new technologies appear every day! And in the last 30 years the guitar equipment had a huge progress if talking about sound, design and quality. It’s always interesting to know what new features will appear in the next 10-20 years, so – let’s see what information can provide us the today’s online press about this topic! Concept Guitars - What the Future Will Give Us First of all, I would like to mention... 

It’s always interesting to see something strange and unusual. That’s why new ideas, things and styles are always attracting millions of eyes, ears and create millions of gossip discussions. So, one sunny evening when I was staying in front of my computer and having some free time just to surf the net, I decided to look for something interesting which will cheer up my mood. I started to look at some expensive guitars at online musical shops... 

I remember the times when I gathered some money and I was thinking to buy me a new guitar. The problem was that I couldn’t decide if my new instrument should be with Floyd Rose. You know, there are two factors to think about: 1) Life is much easier without Floyd Rose. You save about 1 hour every time you want to change the strings. But if you have 3 or more guitars and you change the strings at least one time in a 2-4 weeks period on each... 

When I was starting this guitar blog I was thinking about the categories I would like it to have. So, I made a short review of the today’s most popular guitar blogs on the web in order to find and write for my readers about something really original and unique! So, the “FX Sound” blog category is exactly what I mean, cause there is not much info on the web on how you can make strange, unordinary sounds with your guitar. It may be... 

This is my weird tuned guitar evening improvisation. I think that there is no need in many words, just watch the video, take your guitar and try to play my improvisation. You are free to change it, or add some notes… cause it’s just an evening improvisation! Here is the way you should tune your guitar: - First string = D - Second string = A - Third string = F - Fourth string = D - Fifth string = A - Sixth string = D Weird tuned guitar... 

My first experience with weird tuned guitars happened when I was trying to play the song “Kashmir” by Led Zeppelin. In general, if you want to find lots of beautiful weird tuned guitar riffs – Led Zeppelin is the exactly band you need to know. From my point of view Jimmy Page is one of the best guitar masters who composed the most popular weird tuned guitar songs. I may say that he is one of the first rock guitarists I know who... 

I observed that in styles like hard rock, metal, trash – flageolets are used often as some kind of guitar effect. It sounds very strange and cool at the same time! Distortion will make your flageolets scream in a crazy manner – and that’s what you want, isn’t it? Closer to the subject. You will have to tune your guitar two tones lower – this will give your guitar an angry sound. The level of your distortion gain should...
