I've never been good at filling these things out, but here it goes. I like long walks in cold mountain air, preferably with snow on the ground. I enjoy drinking fine soda by the crackling fire, and deep tissue massage. I hope to one day grow up an become and astronaut, so I can fly to Venus to see if that's really where women come from. If it's true, I'll bring one back for you, too. Unless it's a dude you want, and then you're out of luck...sorry. My favorite month is October, because Halloween is the best holiday ever! It allows me to openly proclaim my love and obsession with scary movies without being seen as some sort of lunatic. Okay, not too much of a lunatic. I'm a huge fan of rock and metal music, and you'll often hear me blasting the control room speakers into oblivion every night during my show. My engineer doesn't like me very much, since he has to fix them. Sorry, Mike.

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
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...

Go Behind the Scenes Making the Song “From Can to Can’t” with Corey Taylor and Dave Grohl [VIDEO]
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! It's from the Sound City Soundtrack, Dave Grohl's documentary about the legendary recording studio called Sound City. There's a DVD you can get, of course, and here's some cool behind the scenes footage from the making of th
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.
