Johnnie Walker
You don't hear him that much on the air...well, except for a million commercials and stuff, but mostly he hides behind the scenes, trying to make things work. He occasionally succeeds.

This Week’s Guitar Shredder Sarah Longfield Playing a Really Freaking Cool Guitar
Yesterday, I introduced you to Sarah Longfield, a guitar shredder who loves her some extra stringiness in her guitars. She likes eight of them. If you only have six, she's not very interested. Don't take this a penis thing. Seriously.
She's got some pretty sweet guitars she plays in her videos, and this one is a really cool custom shop guitar made by Etherial Guitars. It's a pretty wicked looking ax, and sounds pretty good too.

This Tiny Girl Can Shred Like Nobody’s Business – On More Strings Than You, Too! [VIDEO]
A few months back, I entered a guitar solo contest to win an awesome Mayones guitar. I didn't win, I'm not really a solo player, but I got to see a lot of amazing people playing insane shred solos over this short piece. I found a few new players to follow, and a few that I've already been following did some cool solos!
I found this girl a while back, her name is Sarah Longfield.

Want to Be a Better Guitar Player? Here’s the Coolest and Quickest Way to Get There! [VIDEO]
I love effects pedals. I don't use a lot of them, but I love to play around with them. I think this is one pedal I would turn on and use all the freaking time!
I think a lot of players would love to have one of these. It would save a huge amount of time, and we'd never have to hear certain kinds of playing ever again.
I think I'll order one for Buzz...

Playing the song "From Can to Can't", reminded me that I was watching the making of the song video on YouTube this morning, and if you haven't seen it, check it out!

There's a DVD you can get, of course, and here's some cool behind the scenes footage from the making of the music for the soundtrack.
You get to see how good a singer Corey Taylor is, and how other parts of the song come together to make this amazing music!

Nili Brosh is Not a Novelty Pretty Girl Who Plays Guitar – She’s a Real Shredder [VIDEO]
All this week Nili Brosh is my Shredder of the week. While you might think the only reason for her being here is because I think she's attractive, and you'd be totally wrong. While I do find her attractive (hear that, Nili?), it's really about the playing.
No, really.

The Cat Diaries – If You Need a Laugh Today, Watch This Video [VIDEO]
I needed a laugh today. I really did.
So, upon seeing this video and receiving said laughter, I decided I had to share it with you guys. Yes, it is a cute cat video, but it's also an inside-the-demented-mind kind of video. If you want to know what kind of twisted thoughts might be going on inside your pets' heads, this will be a good laugh for you.

Megadeth Shred a Live Version of a New Song “Kingmaker” from Brussels [VIDEO]
The new Megadeth album Super Collider comes out on Tuesday! I've heard two songs from the album so far. The first one, "Super Collider", I wasn't over the moon about. It's a straight-forward rock song, something you might find on Risk-era Megadeth. Not horrible by any stretch of the imagination, but probably not a song that will be high on my playlist.
But the second song they even let out in a really cool way.
