Love Justin Hawkins Rides Again.

Sweetwater's drum videos with Nick D'Virgilio are great, mainly because of his ridiculous talent.

Meinl Cymbals has some great song playthroughs by their endorsers.

This video is *really* interesting. And troubling. Trolls are trying to mine free money from YouTubers?

People suck.

1 video with every guitar tuber you need to know?

Watched this one at lunch. It's good.

Zabel is one of my follows...

Of course, Dickey Betts is always a clinic in itself

Gear Fest is streaming now

I'm not into Queens of the Stone Age or Jane's Addiction, and I haven't seen much about Echo Park guitars, but this story is really cool!!

Those are two really important bands in the last 30 years or so.

I get that.

They just aren't my thing.

Seconded.

One of the best guitar covers on YouTube.

Rhett actually liked a PRS!!! This is a new thing for him!

Some of y'all won't like this, but hey, it's a guitar! That's all you need to know!

I check out this kid from time to time. He overcame a lot of medical hardships from birth. Took up guitar at 15, and now at age 23 is a monster player. https://www.youtube.com/PetesDiaryOfficial



Dodgy live sound here-

Two of my favorites, although the first is really just silly and fun.



Julia's bass covers have gotten more impressive over the years.

I tend to agree wit Rhett on most things, and we seem to share a lot of similar tastes. Maybe i'll come across one to try out. At the moment, I have enough Teles.

A similar guitar at Righteous Guitars, where Rhett has filmed a number of times, is already sold.

I was poking around on their website to look at t-shirts and this popped right up.

Dat bass line doh!

I like covers with unusual instruments, like this: Thunderstruck on a guzheng.



and Hotel California



Incredible.

For classical piano, Garrick Ohlsson's class on the coda from Chopin's Ballade no. 1 is fascinating.



This is the most fun performance of Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue I've seen yet.



My favorite Rick Beato episode. (I'm a huge fan of Martha Argerich.)

Chopin is my favorite.

Well.. this will have my full attention

Probably my 2 favorite acoustic covers, both happen to be by the same guy. I'm not even a big fan of Coldplay and Maroon 5, but these songs are both good and his style is awesome. I could half-ass play Sugar at one time but: A - I'm not growing my nails on my right hand so the downbeat percussive strikes and he'll play notes while flicking his fingers down cut the skin drawing blood at the cuticle and was just brutal - had to get a damp towel to get the blood off the top of the guitar; B - his fingers are so damned long it's really tough to get a good bass thump w/the palm of my hand then get back to the right spot on the strings to play cleanly.

Coldplay - A Sky Full of Stars


Maroon 5 - Sugar

Not sure where to put this but Beato had a FB post with Leland Sklar yesterday and today one with Lyle after his concert.

Great to see!

This is fantastic.

Mashups are music, right?

Uncle Kracker and Kid Rock agree.

Watched this one while folding laundry and playing with the puppy and eating breakfast this morning.

Had avoided it for awhile because it's an hour and a half but it's really good.

It's surprising (and yet not) how many guitarists reference the influence of EVH in these types of videos.

Paul Gilbert, Nuno, Vai, I've heard them all talk about "Edward" in ways that really have him on a pedestal next to Hendrix.

I know zilch about Townsend or his music. And he get less mic time than the others here, but when he talks about grabbing his looper and a guitar, a pot of coffee, and then just freestyling while watching 9 hours of a train going to the North Pole from the view from the cab, it's crazy. You can even see Tobin look at John and Rick with a "Whoa…who is this guy?" look on his face.

Great video.

I am suddenly interested in Jeff Beck for some reason.

Watched this earlier. I had heard of Mateus but didn't know his story at all.

Really interesting. And he seems to be able to play lots of styles.

CME has some good videos. Nathaniel Murphy is a fantastic player. And I love Full Band Fridays.

I don't know how this ended up on their page. It's bizarre. Like GWAR bizarre.

Good ideas on tone from John Petrucci:

No videos of mimisounds' boob resting on the upper horn???
