I’m a dedicated Gretsch guy, or at least,
I’m heavily tempted by Gretsch’s wares, so much so
that there’s a ton of their guitars that I would want given the opportunity or that would hog up a top five list. But I realize this and accommodate for this list that will consist of my top five NON ...

At five grand, I would rather build/have someone
else build one, but the tone he's getting in
this video is pretty stunning. I would be curious to hear what Walter in particular has to say about this since he's a big Tele guy and is slowly gravitating toward the TV Jones Powertron. -Pappy

I was born in the early 80s and
started playing guitar in the mid 90s. It took
a little while for me to find out who Stevie Ray Vaughan was but when I found him, I instantly dug him. He had soul, he had tone, he had this crazy amount of energy but he also had a ton of class and taste when it ...

I'll be honest, I love being a blogger.
I love being in the company of great writers
that also write guitar blogs. I really feel that if we were to come together under one web site, any guitar magazine would really feel the impact of guitar blogs. Basically this is because we don't usually cover ...

Tone is a tricky thing. It makes you
who you are as a guitarist. You can play
the most accurate bunch of notes in the world, but without it sounding unique or at the very least pleasant, no one will want to hear it. Another thing about tone is that it's often the people who are taking the ...

In the world of guitar building, there are
plenty of big names to choose from for a
top five list, but five names stand out to me. This is not to say these are the only five companies anyone needs to pay attention to, because there are plenty more quality builders out there, and a few smaller ...

A lot of guitar players are on the
fence about relics in general and tribute models especially,
but when they come out, we're usually still oohin and aahing and trying to figure out the exact time period the guitar is based on so we can see its accuracy (and some delight in ripping it to shreds ...

If anyone is NOT familiar with comic books,
I'll enlighten you a little as to whay some
of the vintage ones are so ridiculously expensive. In comics there was always some ad that you would cut out or be asked to cut out and send in for whatever trinket was being offered. Kids would buy the ...

I was finally able to sit down and
set up a YouTube channel for the 5th Fret.
Unfortunately "5thFret" was already taken, but 5thFret1 was not, so that's what I signed up as. I'm in the process of switching the videos recorded and uploaded through Blogger to YouTube videos which let me see how ...

I've read on the internet that a ton
of people aren't satisfied with Gibson. One site actually
said they are sub par instruments with a name, which really stuck in my head. I mean, if you have a recognizable name and a legacy of quality, it has to be pretty rough being nodded at for making ...

Your first paying gig? Your first tour where you
make money? Your first sold-out arena? Your first signature guitar? What if a mainstay company in guitar history approached YOU and asked you to record a video on how to get YOUR tone because ...

Our friend over at Street Musician has recently
started selling instruments. Right now he has access to
classical guitars that go for less than 500 Pounds. It's inspired a bit of GAS, I'll admit. I'm not really an acoustic guy but when the urge hits, it isn't for the overused regular sound-hole ...

Mark Baier was kind enough to answer some
questions I had and it ended up making fr
a great interview and I'm happy to share it with you guys and gals. I think it's awesome when an amp maker is willing to answer questions in interviews. They are looked over in favor of the users of their amps ...

How about that? You post blogs for six
days and then on the 7th it all comes
crashing down. Nothing really happened to the site, this isn't Blogger's fault or anything. My wife and I were planning on driving almost to Atlanta to go for a walk in a park and she would practice her photography. The ...

I Heart Guitar often gets a ton of
great stuff whether it be gear to review, or
nods from print media, or the top spot in a lot of guitar blog lists. Recently, there was a post featuring a Dunlop TV spot where Jim Root from Stone Sour/Slipknot was interviewed and two very important things came ...

I recorded these last night and honestly, I
was not planning on posting them. They were a
bit rushed and nothing is in frame as it should be and hey, there's my daughter's play house. But I figured that people might like to see and hear a close approximation of how the pedal sounds through an ...

Who doesn’t like lists? I love them. They
not only showcase important, note-worthy things, but it also
shows off quite a bit about the person who picked it. I will say anything that is top 100 is weak. Anyone can make a top 100 list because there are so many spots to fill. Whittling it down to ...

As everyone knows, I’m a fan of Brian
Setzer. I love his tone. Who doesn’t? I mean
his rockabilly tone, mind you. It’s a little gainey, a little dirty, but very full. The best part is when he goes from flatpicking to hybrid picking. Only his method isn’t so much “hybrid” because he tucks the ...

For today’s top five list we tackle pedals.
Pedals are sometimes used sparingly, sometimes heavily, sometimes not
at all, sometimes all the time and vary heavily between player to player. But if you were to build a pedal board, what would be required? I’m so glad you asked! Here’s my top five ...
