Alamo Music Center | Nearly Indestructible Travel Guitar? | Journey Instruments Overhead OF660M Review

For the avid guitar player traveling can pose unique obstacles. Thankfully we are better off than keyboard and drum players but someone with a flute has an advantage when it comes to portability. For this reason the ever growing selection of travel guitars aims to solve the problem of hitting the road and and taking your music with you. While travel guitars continue to grow in popularity they can still pose their own problem. Are they big enough to generate ample volume with good tone? Are they small enough to be portable but not too small to sacrifice the playing experience? Finally, can you fly with it? A manufacturer may call it a travel guitar but most airlines might disagree. To solve many of these issues Journey Instruments decided that the answer was simple - remove the neck... or make it detachable anyway. Their formula for the Overhead line of guitars has proven that you can take a full scale guitar on an airplane with you, along with your other electronics. The OF660M adds carbon fiber to the mix making a guitar that is almost indestructible. It doesn't move with temperature and humidity changes and generates a fantastic despite its size.

Gretsch Masterbuilt 6128CS 1957 Duo Jet • SN_ UC19111885
Wildwood Guitars

Gretsch Masterbuilt 6128CS 1957 Duo Jet • SN_ UC19111885

The turquoise sparkle on this '57 Duo Jet may be pretty, but underneath the paint job this guitar is full of bad attitude. It has a slightly more aggressive voice than a typical Duo Jet, and that inspired me to no end when I picked it up. Its low-end has a beautiful twangy growl to it, and the highs have that lush Gretsch sparkle in spades. There's also a bit of vintage-style sag to the attack that gives way to beautiful blooming resonance. The bridge pickup has some really nice snarl and bite in the upper mids to go with punchy lows and jangly highs. In the neck position, you'll find warm, rich low--end along with roaring low mids and sweet, singing highs. Anyone seeking a raunchy Gretsch will love this serial!

Gibson Custom Shop 2019 Historic 1960 Les Paul • SN: 09101

Wildwoodians, is there anything cooler than a Burst-era Les Paul? Maybe if a polar bear could hit a jump on a snowmobile and do a backflip, it would approach Burst-esque levels of coolness. But, until we humans make tremendous advancements in the field of polar bear training, the Bursts shall reign supreme. Though the original Bursts only lasted from 1958 to 1960, they enjoyed an oversized impact in popular music. Jimmy Page, Joe Walsh, Paul McCartney, and countless other iconic players have all featured the sweet sound of their Les Pauls on dozens of classic recordings. Without a doubt, the Les Pauls produced from '58 to '60 are some of the greatest examples of craftsmanship in the history of musical instruments. Their sound is as American as beer and monster trucks, and they are part of rock and roll's DNA. Since we have the Burst bug bad here at Wildwood, we were overjoyed when we received the 2019 Historic reissue models from Gibson Custom. Once again, the wizard-like luthiers at the Custom shop have outdone themselves. With a combination of premium tonewoods, obsessive attention to detail, old-world manufacturing techniques, and a healthy dose of love and care, they have crafted some of the mightiest Les Pauls ever to grace the mortal realm. Let's take a closer look and examine some of the splendid ingredients that form their sonic cocktail.

Griff Hamlin: Playing/Counting Rhythm & Lead Together

This video is a little more of a project for the beginning blues players watching... In order to be able to play with other people (really, in order to be able to play at all) you need to be able to play a simple rhythm, keep some time, and maybe play a little lead over it... I talk a lot about counting, and I hear from a lot of students that they have trouble counting when it comes to single note lines - so this line is really easy and should be straightforward for counting. You NEED to be able to do this. If you cannot, work on your skills until you can, and you'll be setup for much more progress down the line. If you can do this already, that's GREAT!
