Review of the Carvin Bolt-T: Building a Better Stratocaster?

By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010
The Carvin Bolt-T is a great playing and sounding instrument, but its principal feature might just be the cost.

Brief Review of the Breedlove C25/CR Herringbone

By: R. S. Rasnick | 02/01/2010
Even though the C25/CR isn't a custom Breedlove, it's still an incredibly high-quality guitar. Just because it doesn't have the same custom options as more expensive Breedlove models doesn't mean it's not a solid instrument. It might be one of the finest acoustic instruments you'll ever play and is one that we recommend highly. The Breedlove Pro Series is worth every dime.

How to Plan a Successful CD Release Party

Guitar Warm Up Exercise

By: Gene Phillips | 02/01/2010
One of the important parts of being an excellent guitar player is your guitar warm up routine. I cannot stress to you novice players how vital it is that you just warm up prior to each play session. I know that you might be excited to learn songs, but you must realize that the warm up is going to strengthen your fingers, forearms, picking hand, and it can help you develop excellent habits. So, always devote some time to warming up, even if it's only for 5 minutes. One of the most...
