I had been thinking about getting a Vintage or Modern Gibson but life sidetracked my thoughts. It took a nudge from my best friend a mere 2 weeks before my birthday to start thinking about it again. I ended up getting a beautiful Suhr Classic T Deluxe Limited Edition. And I couldn't be happier. Watch to find out why this Suhr Classic T Deluxe Limited Edition Guitar changed how I choose guitars! And I share tips to keep in mind when shopping for a new guitar.

Gibson has been in the news for all the wrong reasons. The latest is what they left behind in the former Memphis factory. Here are my thoughts on the latest Gibson Guitars News. Gibson Guitars have found themselves in the news for everything but guitars. As the company works to rebuild its image, they continue to create PR nightmares. There was the now-famous Play Authentic video, followed by the lawsuit against Dean Guitars parent company Armadillo Enterprises. They've lost trademark court cases in the EU for their Flying V and Firebird body shapes destroyed Firebird X guitars and now have abandoned signs and famous signatures at the old Memphis plant. So I ask the question, Does Gibson Guitars Have a Heart?

In Part 2 of this 2-part video series, I examine the second challenge you may face when producing music. In this video, I examine "Tech Cloning". Technology can be a barrier to originality. Watch the video to find out why. In part one I examined "The Bottle Effect". The growing inventory of music is enough to challenge any artist but legacy artists from generations gone by still occupy a lot of space and may stand in the way of your music getting heard. If you missed part one you can watch it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzgfQH34u2c My song VFR featured in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pqq1GGGnL1k In this video, I examine Tech Cloning". This is when artists fall victim to music technology and don't develop themselves as true musicians. Technology, when applied correctly can create huge advantages for many artists today except when technology replaces real ability. Learn about the pitfalls of Tech Cloning.

The Gibson Play Authentic video has caused quite a Backlash within the industry, and it has pitted Gibson vs Dean Guitars. I take a look at Dean Guitars and see if they may actually be copying Gibson designs. Check out reviews and demos on the new Gibson Original Collection and Modern Collection Guitars: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fzjYhjhK24&list=PLXdLRrtu2mlqL4SEvli7gXiL0RIrIvlNZ The now-famous Gibson Play Authentic video featuring Mark Agnessi has really caused a stir. The video in itself created a ton of backlash for Gibson but the debate rages on about Gibson and their rights to the designs they created. I take a look at some reactions from others and take a closer look at some Dean Guitars to see if there is a fair argument here. I even explore the possibility that some of Dean's designs may have been influenced by Fender, PRS and Ibanez. The video contains my option formulated from reviewing publicly available information. I have no insight into either Gibson or Dean. My opinions are simply that and are for the purposes of entertainment and nothing else. I’ve included some short clips from other Youtube channels who have expressed an opinion on the Gibson Play Authentic video. As they have all posted their opinions publicly, it is reasonable to include short clips within my video for the purposes of reporting on this story.
