Finding Used Guitar Amps

Used guitar amps typically work just as well as new equipment. But it is important to do your research and make sure the one that you buy is a dependable brand. Your average music store will have a large selection of used guitar amps at varied prices depending upon type, usage, size and other variables.

When shopping for used guitar amps your first concern should be where you buy it. On average used equipment has no warranty, so "buyers beware." Consider the store's history and ask other local musicians for opinions. Bad reviews travel farther than good reviews as a general statement, so evaluate the source of the reviews.

Before you purchase used guitar amps, ask about replacement parts. Used guitar amps may need replacement parts sooner than new equipment. The brand will most likely determine the availability of spare parts. Used guitar amps are used in mass partly because teenage rock bands need a place to start and middle-aged rock bands have not so understanding wives. Used guitar amps provide a better price range for the price conscious rocker.

If the previous owners of used guitar amps are cautious with their investment the turn around factor may be good on their part. Actual hours used on a guitar amp may be hard to calculate. If the owner has been responsible and limited the amount of outer damage the inner workings often don't need much attention.

Used guitar amps are a lot like pre-owned cars, unless you advertise the fact that it's not brand new the vast majority of people, especially those not big in the music realm, would never identify it as used. In the same breath no matter if it is used or not a name brand is still a name brand.

No matter how many times used guitar amps are sold they still say "Marshal", "Fender", "Peavy", "Ampeg", and so on. Price will reflect the name and year model, but just because it's been plugged in once, twice, or three hundred times it doesn't mean used guitar amps are "useless." If the ones you find are in good condition, you'll be able to keep on rocking for many years to come.

Win a Dave Mustaine Guitar!
My very good friend Chris Elmore, who you will know from the great guitar 'mini-lessons' he provides for my blog and for my monthly newsletter, is holding a contest with a superb Dave Mustaine guitar as the main prize. You can actually check out the guitar at this link:

http://www.guitartrader.com/Dean-Dave-Mustaine-Bolt-on-Electric-Guitar

Ok, so to win this guitar, or one of the other contest prizes, Chris wants you to submit a YouTube video of yourself performing on guitar. He explains it fully in this short video clip:

How to win the Dave Mustaine Guitar

Take a look at the video clip ( about 2 mins ) - if you think you have what it takes to impress Chris, just follow the instructions on the page, and you're on your way to bringing home an awesome guitar. Please don't be shy about this - I know Chris is not necessarily looking for someone who can replicate an existing guitar riff. If you think there is anything special you can do, this is your chance to show off your talent, and maybe bag a big prize in the process.

The link to enter the contest again is: How to win the Dave Mustaine Guitar

Regular subscribers will know that Chris is absolutely the most genuine guy in the guitar learning world. As well as regularly providing great free guitar tips for my guitar newsletter readers, he sponsored some amazing prizes for my 5 million and 10 million visitor celebrations. This contest is to celebrate the release of his latest learning program - 'Rock Methods', and runners-up in the contest will receive copies of this course. I haven't had sight of this course yet ( it won't be launched for a while ) but I know that it will be up to the standard of excellence of all of the Elmore Music learning tools.

I would encourage you to take part in this contest, show the world what you can do, and hopefully, bring home that fabulous guitar!

Meanwhile, I will be adding some songs to my chords and lyrics website which will hopefully meet your requirements.

Enjoy your music,

PJ

Play Guitar Backwards!
Once again, a tip from Chris Elmore, owner/creater of ElmoreMusic, and co-owner with myself of GuitarBackingTracks

This is a brilliant article/lesson, with tab, sound and video, where Chris shows you how to play some really fancy and nifty riffs on lead guitar. Just watching Chris's hand movements as he switches between standard and "backward" fretting with his left hand makes you want to stop what you're doing and try that out right away!!

I'm not a lead guitarist myself, but I find with the help of the lessons ( like this one ) generously made available to my Blog readers by Chris and others, I'm starting to surprise my friends at our jam sessions. The look of astonishment on their faces when I add in a nifty lead break on one of the other players' numbers is priceless!


Check out the tip at this link: How to play Your Guitar with your hand 'Backwards'

BTW, Chris has offered a great deal to my Blog readers - lifetime subscription to his fantastic Guitar Tips learning program for an unbelievable $27 ( it was already a steal at $49.95 ).

14 Minute Video Guitar Chords lesson
I have been singing the praises of Dan Denleys guitar courses - AmazingGuitar, BluesGuitar, LeadGuitar and AcousticGuitar for some time now. The link to the Acoustic course has been displaying "Sold Out" for some weeks now, but it is being relaunched tomorrow, Fri 14th March at 11 a.m. Eastern time. To celebrate the relaunch, Dan has given me a POWERFUL, 14 minute free video lesson crammed with incredible info about guitar CHORDS to share with my Blog readers. In this video you'll discover:

-> How chords are related to scales...

-> Why some chords are maj, minor, dom, etc.

-> What guitarists mean when they say... "two
chord" or "five chord" etc.

-> Which chords come from the major scale

-> The difference between a triad and a 7th
chord...

...and a LOT more.

You can watch it here right now:

14 Minute Guitar Chords Lesson - From Dan Denley's AcousticGuitarSecrets course

This video shows extracts of Dan's Acoustic Guitar Secrets course,
which is fast becoming THE standard for learning acoustic guitar.
The course completely sold out when it was released back in December,
hence the unavailable message you will have seen if you clicked the
link recently.

Now, *finally* it's going to be available again, remember it's
tomorrow: Fri, Mar 14 at 11AM (eastern).

Oh - and you can also download this video and watch on your iPod.
Just look for the "iPod" link.

I own a copy of this course, and it has done more to improve my
guitar playing than anything I've tried in the past 20 years.
Seriously. I would strongly advise anyone who REALLY wants to be
a "Guitar Player" to grab a copy of the course, you won't regret
it. But get in early, I have a feeling that the "Sold Out" signs
will be back up fairly soon, also Dan is making noises about
splitting the course into 3 seperate courses, which will almost
certainly increase the cost.

Either ways, you can enjoy the free 14-minute video lesson at:
