YouTube Video UCD-NYgMKScoy_nY_ClK2mhg_xM74KVLKHvs Upon heading up to the Yamaha's exhibit at NAMM, we bumped into my friend Michael "Fish" Herring, commonly known for being Christina Aguilera's main guitarist, for a little interview from Walker.
Upon heading up to the Yamaha's exhibit at NAMM, we bumped into my friend Michael "Fish" Herring, commonly known for being Christina Aguilera's main guitarist, for a little interview from Walker.
This gentle giant powerhouse guitarist who goes by the name of Jared James Nichols sits down with Walker to explain why heā€™s a famous YouTuber (Walker had no idea who he was going in, which made this little interview all the better). But seriously, if you donā€™t know who this beast of a player is, youā€™re living under a rock and seriously missing out. Let's get some Walker encouragement going!
This time through, on one of Walker's first interviews ever, he asks iconic guitar player Chris Buck a hard hitting question. Although Walker pulled a little bit of a Billy Corgan by turning this interview onto himself. But that's okay, Walker has never done this sort of thing before. Let's get some Walker encouragement going!
For Walker's first NAMM Show ever, he wanted to conduct some interviews, though him not knowing who these amazing talents were yet. This is Walker's first go-around, and he got Tyler Larson of Music Is Win himself! Of course, words of encouragement would be appreciated! Thanks for your time Tyler!
We did this once before, and now we're back for round 2. This list is all about Gibson USA's branded electric guitar headstock shapes, beyond the first list. Sorry bassists, acoustic players, and others - Gibson USA branded electric guitars only this time through. **************************************** Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the copyright act 1976: Allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship, and research.

Just about everywhere on the internet, people complain about the prices of guitars and inflation. Today we're exploring just how bad United States inflation really impacted guitars by looking at the two biggest brands: Fender & Gibson between August 2003 to November 2025.

Even in 2025, great deals can be found for used guitars on the private marketplace. Come with me as I take a drive into Hollywood, CA to buy a used Warmoth T-style guitar and a 1987 Squier Bullet S-3T. **************************************** Copyright Disclaimer under Section 107 of the copyright act 1976: Allowance is made for fair use for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, scholarship, and research.
