If you’re a home recording amateur with a PC, a guitar, and big dreams of laying down killer riffs from your own setup, you’re probably chasing two things at once: great sounds and great value. Today I’m breaking down five popular shops and deal hubs that focus on audio plugins—Plugin Boutique, ADSR Sounds, Plugin Alliance, Audio Deluxe, and Music Software Deals.
When I first laid eyes on the Harley Benton Multiscale Eight-String guitar, I was hit with a wave of excitement. Luckily, I’m Australian and I live near the coast, so I’m used to all kinds of waves. Excitement waves however, are my favourite kind.
It was a day I had been waiting for, filled with excitement and a hint of nervous energy. As I stood before the box, my heart raced. Inside lay the Solar A1.6W, a guitar I had longed for since I first laid eyes on its sleek, white design.
When I first decided to unbox a Temu guitar that cost less than a night out, I felt a mix of excitement and skepticism. How could a full-size guitar, priced at just $56.59 AUD (about 36 US dollars), deliver on quality? As I sat in my guitar room, rain tapping against the window, I unwrapped the package, ready to embark on what I hoped would be a fun musical adventure.

There is so much to love about the way Yasi Hofer plays guitar. The funkiness of the song, the technical ability, and the gorgeous melodies are all highlights. But for me, the highlight is seeing the absolute joy that Yasi has while playing guitar.
Not only can Jon Yadon Jr. shred, the guy often does it with an infectious smile. If you’re not enjoying yourself while playing guitar, then are you really playing? This is one of the first things that drew me to Jon’s playing.
It’s time for another “have you seen how awesome this guitarist is?!” post. Today’s awe-inspiring guitarist is Alyssa Day.
It’s been a while since I posted an article featuring one of my favourite guitar play through videos. So, in an attempt to get back into the sharing of videos from guitarists who inspire and amaze me, I figured I should start with Hellana Pandora.
Recently, I shared a guitar play through by Chris Wiseman from the band Shadow of Intent. Today, I share a guitar play through video of Chris Wiseman from the band Currents. It’s the same Chris Wiseman. He’s that good.
It’s been a long time since I shared a guitar playthrough video here and I need to fix that. What better way to rebuild this series than with a guitar playthrough that builds at an exceptional rate. The way Chris Wiseman takes this track on a journey is a masterclass in composition.
Today, I wanted to dive into a truly electrifying—did you see what I did there?—moment in heavy metal history. It’s been 40 years since Metallica’s legendary album ‘Ride The Lightning’ stormed into our lives, and what a ride it has been!
The puns just write themselves!
Picture this: it’s a typical day in my home studio, and I’m scrolling through Instagram, lost in a world of guitar posts. Suddenly, something catches my eye—a sleek, black silhouette that feels like it was designed just for me. The Guild Polara Night Edition was calling my name. I knew I had to have it.
Imagine the thrill of opening a box that holds not just any item, but a piece of guitar perfection. Well, perfection from my perspective at least. That’s exactly what the Squier Sonic Stratocaster HT represents to me.

This is not just another unboxing video. This is about a dream realised and the joy of creating something uniquely mine—a custom DC Coupe ACE from Prestige Guitars that reflects my style and love for guitars. Each note strummed on this beauty tells a story, and I can’t wait to share the experience with you.
In a world brimming with noise and chaos, music often becomes a sanctuary, a way to connect with our deepest emotions. That is what happened for me when I unboxed a special guitar: the Paul Reed Smith (PRS) SE Hollow Body Standard Piezo in a stunning dog hair smoke burst finish.
Picture this: the excitement in the air as I awaited the arrival of a box that held more than just a musical instrument; it was a piece of my dreams—the Gibson Les Paul Studio. As a lifelong beginner guitarist, I had long yearned for the moment I would finally own a Gibson. When it finally arrived at my doorstep, I couldn’t help but feel like a kid on Christmas morning.
