Why?
Because I was listening to the Cars the other day, and I realized that once you figure out these three quintessential Elliot Easton guitar solos, you're basically viewing a road map to tasteful guitar playing.
'Nuff said!
While we're on the subject, if you'd like to see an exclusive photo gallery of Easton's left-handed guitars, head here. Enjoy!
I try very hard to remain under the radar despite being on camera as gear editor, but in this age of social media it was only a matter of time before it had to come to this. So with that, I will make my blog painless and a quick and easy read so you can get on to more important things like sweep picking, or if you’re like me, obsessing how to race the Tour De France and trying to be Kristen Stewart’s next mistake. I will use this blog to inform you of things I find cool; like new gear I’m playing through and what I’m watching, reading or listening to at any given moment. So feel free to ask me anything that’s gear related—or if you have a problem with your girlfriend, you know, life lesson stuff, I’m pretty good at that too—and I’ll do my best to answer or address it here.
