http://bit.ly/oy79do Win an EVH Wolfgang USA Electric Guitar
Summer may be coming to a close, but we're keeping things hot with a smokin' EVH GEAR giveaway! One Grand Prize winner will receive an EVH Wolfgang USA guitar personally signed by none other than Edward Van Halen himself, along with:

An EVH gear pack that includes a premium guitar strap, pick tin, guitar cable, and six sets of strings
A CD library that includes the first eight Van Halen albums, Best Of Volume I, and The Best of Both Worlds
The Live Without A Net concert DVD
Total Prize Package Value: $3,264.69

The EVH Wolfgang has taken the guitar world by storm since its debut in 2009, setting a new standard for players who want an instrument that's as limitless as their own creativity. Developed with and road-tested by Eddie Van Halen, the Wolfgang is exactly what Eddie uses onstage and in the studio.

"Everything that I've built, destroyed, stumbled onto, learned, and experienced is in this guitar. Every aspect and component of this guitar has been examined and upgraded to the highest standards possible—stainless steel frets, double-potted custom-wound pickups, five-piece binding on the matching body and headstock, custom-made signature tuning machines and Floyd Rose bridge, new low-friction pots, and the list keeps going. We left no stone unturned." - Eddie Van Halen

Don't miss your shot at this incredibly collectible instrument autographed by Eddie Van Halen, along with the EVH gear pack and Van Halen CD/DVD library. Winner will be selected in a random drawing on or about October 4, 2011. You are automatically entered every time you place an order with Musician's Friend from August 22, 2011 through September 30, 2011. No purchase necessary to enter. Purchase will not increase your odds of winning. Complete the form now for your chance to win!

The Trill - Tremolo Pedal Kit by modkitsdiy.com

http://bit.ly/pVJkuN ModKitsDIY Trill Tremolo Review

The Trill tremolo pedal offers classic tremolo tones in an easy to build kit.

The Trill’s speed knob provides a wide range from a very slow to rapid fire effect. The depth knob varies the ratio between effected and dry signal. Using modern, low noise transistors makes operation of The Trill quiet with no signal drop when engaged. The modkitsdiy Trill guitar pedal uses true bypass foot switching so it is out of the signal path when not engaged.

MOD Kits are designed to give novice and experienced guitarists the opportunity to build their own amps and effects pedals. All kits come with clear and easy to follow well illustrated drawings, easy to follow instructions and use point-to-point wiring. A pre-drilled enclosure and all parts are included. All you need to provide are hand tools, a soldering iron and solder. The effect pedals operate on 9V batteries which are not included.

If I could start playing guitar all over again...

I would. But I would do it differently, I'd actually get guitar lessons at the beginning and work my way up and playing with a band sooner. Learning timing and music theory is a must!

Just got home from band practice, what a day playing guitar...

Fingers are sore from playing guitar

Ever have a long band session where your fingers start to hurt? Man my fingers are inflamed right now. I think if I play through it again tomorrow, all will be well. Gotta keep playing guitar!!

My favorite guitar solo is blackdog by Led Zeppelin
