Perttu Kivilaakso from Apocalyptica and Alex Venturella from Cry For Silence battling it out!

The cello is amazing! Everybody has an electric guitar so the cello wins this one. The guitar playing is alright but really, how many electric cello shredding have you seen?

Now all I have to do is go out and find a way to get me a cello.

The theme to the best game in the world on electric guitar! Listening to this brings me back to my NES days.

Wicked performance by Vertex Guy. This guy’s been recreating famous video game themes for quite some time now but has been inactive recently.

Phil McCraken here trying to teach us all how to use an electric guitar.

Just from the first five seconds of this video I already could tell that this is legit! Definitely picked up a thing or two from this lesson and I have already applied it onstage.

This guy has a great sense of musicality in him and his custom electric guitar keeps you guessing, is it right handed? left? who cares!

Oh and careful with the 5 watt amp, it’s very powerful!

Google seems to think that playing an electric guitar is easier than an acoustic.

I guess I can agree to this to some degree but my opinion does not matter, Google said it.

Whatever Google says we listen without hesitation. Google is king.

Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to ask Google what I need to wear tonight.

CLEVELAND — Slash is among the performers scheduled to play at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s tribute concert for his guitar hero Les Paul.

The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist says he’s committed to doing anything he can for the 93-year-old Paul, known as the “Father of the Electric Guitar.”

Paul’s many contributions to music include building the first solid-body electric guitar in 1941.

Slash says he has played with Paul — and couldn’t keep up with him.

Paul, a resident of Mahwah, is expected to attend the American Music Masters series event.

The lineup of guitar virtuosos for the Nov. 15 concert includes Paul’s fellow New Jersey-based guitarists, Richie Sambora of Bon Jovi and Lenny Kaye. Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top and The Ventures also are scheduled to perform.
