We've all seen the pro reviews of these gorgeous Falcon amplifiers from Gibson. But haven't you wondered what they would sound like in the hands of a far less talented player? Well wonder no more because I got you!! Want to know what they really sound like? There's no better way to do that than...

I know the title looks like the usual clickbait but I actually sold this guitar on Reverb just last week. So unlike most pinhead YouTubers, I say what I mean. What don't I like about the Jackson RRT3? Come watch this fun filled video and find out. And I'm curious to know if you agree with my...

Happy Good Friday! Would it be a Better Friday if you had one of these Fender Twin Reverb Tonemaster amps in a gorgeous vintage finish? You better believe it would! Thanks to Earle Teat Music Delmar, Delaware for lending me this digital beast to share with you all! What are your thoughts on...

Who doesn't love Trogly's Guitar Show??? Maybe don't answer that. But if you love Gibsons and getting to see some amazing ones on Trogly's channel, you might also like what I have in store for us this week! I'm so excited to present a colleague of mine who is a Trogly impersonator. He calls...

The MXR Distortion+ was the first ever dirt pedal that I got to borrow from my guitar teacher in 1979. I remember how much I loved it since I was able to get nothing but cleans out of my solid state Sears amp. He let me borrow it for a week and I didn't want to give it back. I have not touched...

This is the most beautiful, most expensive Stratocaster that I've ever played. The Fender FSR series with a gorgeous quilted maple top and solid rosewood neck. Oh my! Fender put one model a month out in 2019 but Earle Teat Music in Delmar Delaware still has this one and 2 other models from that...

There is some really great, understated guitar playing throughout the catalog of Bryan Adams - mostly played by the underappreciated Keith Scott. We're going to take the Positive Grid Spark, pull up some Bryan Adams songs, a Strat, and see if I can learn these songs in real time. It's a lot of...

Lots of folks have complained about the blue channel on the EVH 5150iii EL34 50 watt amp. Why? I'm not sure but I think it's mostly because it doesn't sound like the blue channel on the 5150iii 6L6 version. And guess what? It's not supposed to. This amp actually gives you 3 differently...

I'm not here to sell you anything. The only thing I want to "influence" you to do is to laugh. Just laugh. If laughing is not your jam, that's okay too. Celebrate Mediocrity! alan

One of the best things about making guitar videos is getting to play and explore a whole bunch of interesting guitars and gear that I might otherwise have never tried. Like this Epiphone Les Paul Modern - loaned to me by Earle Teat Music in Delmar, Delaware. It's a beast and it's beautiful. And...

I just upgraded my firmware on the Line6 PodGo and now I'm at 2.0! Woo hoo, right? It was easy enough, but what's under the hood? If you're going up a full version number, you'd expect a lot of cool new, sexy gadgets. Alas but there are only a handful of new amps and pedals. Huh? What? The real...

I was out of town last week and didn't get a chance to share this. You will get a chuckle or two and perhaps a new appreciation of Huey Lewis - or at least the guitar players in the News!

Do you hate touch screens, overly complicated menus, having to use an app, - all those things we associate with modern day modeling/multieffects units? Boss just says NO with the brand new ME-90. Nothing but knobs, glorious rows of knobs!! But how does it sound? Thanks to our friends at Earle...

I'm so excited that I got to finally try out the most recorded guitar amp in history (so they say) - the Fender Deluxe Reverb! But wait, it's the Tonemaster version!?? Even better, I'm old and not super strong so I appreciate the lower weight. But will it go full on like the tube version...

This little guy packs a tremendous amount of horsepower under the hood. The Mooer GE250 Multieffects does it all! 70 amp models, 180 effects, customizable effects chain, drum machine, metronome and 70 second looper! And who is the worst person to try and show it all to you? Me. I promise to do...

Brand new pedals from a company new to making them! Normally that doesn't get me too stoked but these two ALABS multifunction pedals are only $99 on Amazon. The TimeSlip is a 9 mode delay pedal and the NovaDrift is a 9 mode modulation pedal. True stereo and surprisingly high quality sound for...

A looper pedal with a built in drum machine? Say no more. The answer is yes. Mooer Groove Loop X2 Pedal has 14 save slots that can each hold 10 minutes of loops. That's pretty insane! Let's see if this is finally the looper pedal that can make me not stink at making loops! Have a Mediocre...
