Oh yeah, I progressed from the pink Westone to an Ibanez RG550DX in Purple Neon. It was a truly awesome shredding guitar and I loved it. The Edge Lo Pro trem enabled me to do all the whammy bar antics I’d been dreaming of listening to ‘Flying in a blue dream” and “Passion & Warfare”Continue Reading

Well I never, I knew Caparison made some very cool looking metal guitars like this and this (oh and by the way if you have never heard any of Mattias “IA” Eklundh’s music check out his myspace page, I really don’t know how to describe it. Crazy.) but I had no idea they made anContinue Reading

So yesterday I featured the Super blinged up Gold Pick, today I present to you the Dava Silver pick! What’s so good about this one? It goes up to 11, no hang on that joke doesn’t work, it has a nickel silver tip and a moulded rubber grip which apparently creates a flexible comfortable pickContinue Reading

Ok so these aren’t as exclusive as Starpics Gibeon Meteorite which will set you back AUD$5000, but considering guitar picks are the cheapest guitar accessory usually costing well under a dollar these are pretty high up on the guitar bling list. For 52 shiny english nuggets, thats $105 to the US Massive and $121 toContinue Reading

Time for a bit of cross promotion! Fender.com is currently running a competition to win this Alvin and the Chipmunks Stratocaster, not everyone’s cup of tea I know, in fact I’m not exactly sure who would want this?! Anyway, I recently worked on a site for the film called munkyourself.com which in my opinion isContinue Reading

Here it is, my 2nd guitar that I owned back in 1988. Yes it is pink, and no I don’t know what I was thinking but hey I was 12 years old in the height of 80′s rock, I mean nobody ever questioned Poison! Well, not at first anyway… So here are the stats ofContinue Reading

A couple of days ago I wrote about the F-1 Ergonomic Pick and regular commenter Sammy pointed me in the direction of a company I have never heard of before called Snarling Dogs, apparently he uses the ‘Cat Tongues’ picks! Well I had to check these out for myself but I got sidetracked when IContinue Reading

I found this interesting experiment on rhythmic syncopation over at Cognitive Daily and couldn’t resist posting it here at Guitar Noize. Now I know it is has no direct association with Guitars but it is a good example of how using Syncopation can bring new life to riffs. This is something that Paul Gilbert oftenContinue Reading

When I first saw this photo I thought it was a bass guitar, then I looked a little closer and realised that no, it is an 8 string electric from the very capable hands of Jeffrey Yong. I was drawn to his site by his acoustic guitar craftmanship which I featured a few days agoContinue Reading

I love Nick Huber guitars they look like a PRS but more hand made, more attention to detail (if that is possible?!). There isn’t a lot of detail about this guitar on Nick’s website and he doesn’t seem to be responding to his email, I’m sure he’s a very busy man. Mind you Jol alwaysContinue Reading
