Today's lost band is a band by the name of Grinderswitch. They were a southern rock band from the 1970s.But they never achieved the same widespread recognition as some of their peers from the south. One of their songs, "Pickin The Blues," was used for many years by DJ John Peel as the theme tune for his BBC radio shows...

Last week, we told you about the moron trying sell his Eagles tickets, way in the back of the arena in Section 31, for over $900 each online at StubHub. Now, another idiot is trying to sell his seats in Section 19 for over $3,000 a piece...

If you're planning to see Rush's 40th anniversary tour this summer, keep an eye out for the world's tallest tour photographer. The legendary rock band has recruited another legend, former Major League Baseball pitcher Randy Johnson, to take pictures at several of their shows this summer...

Today's lesson is an acoustic version of "Hurry Sundown" by the Outlaws. This one would be great for a summer campfire party. You could definitely wash it down with a couple of beers and everyone would be having a large time. That reminds me: I should put some campfire music on my lessons for the summer season...

Today's lesson is the same song as my favorite once again. But what a great song by Montrose. This one is guaranteed to get folks excited. It's from the first Montrose album when Sammy Hagar was the vocalist. But as long as you can carry a tune you should be able to pull this one off...

The Eagles fly back into Billings two weeks from tomorrow and tickets have been sold out for months. However, if you're willing to shell out big bucks to see them, there are plenty of good seats for sale on Stubhub. As of today, 246 tickets remain for sale on the popular online secondary ticket market...

Today's lesson is from Marty once again. I do think Marty is one of the best teachers on the net that I have seen. The song today is, "Signs," made famous by Tesla. The song is by the Five Man Electrical Band. Not toohard of a song but a great tune to play anywhere...

This interview is with one of the great guitar players of all time. At least that's the way that I see it. Joe Satriani is one of those players that can do just about anything with the guitar. Slow, fast, whatever the feel is at the moment, he is one of the best...

Several years ago, U2 singer Bono publicly suggested that circumcising young boys could help prevent the spread of HIV in Africa. Evidently, that didn't sit well with members of a 'foreskin awareness' group in Canada.
