    What are you currently listening to?

    I’m really loving a band called ‘The Skints’ just now. Basically a Skank/Reggae band from London. Check out ‘This Town’ by The Skints if you’re into that sort of thing!

    'The Stage' extra tracks missing?

    Just went onto my Spotify to listen to ‘Dose’ by Avenged and I’ve noticed that all of the additional tracks of The Stage have been removed? I live in the Uk, has anyone else experienced this or know the reason why? Yours, -Chris from Sunny Scotland

    Economy Picking/Sweeping Warm-Ups

    Am I being too picky about Picks?

    Hey guys! I’ll cut straight to the point with my query. I’ve been using the 2.0mm purple Dunlop delrin guitar picks for over 3 years now and I love them. Nothing else feels quite right when economy picking etc. I’ve noticed a trend in my playing where when if I’ve been gigging/playing for long...
