The thing about Steve Cropper's playing is that it was essentially perfect in service to songs. It was never in service to Steve Cropper or to some imaginary guitar-god leaderboard. However, focusing on Cropper's playing kind of misses some of the point: his influence as a writer and producer is just as important.

Fun fact: Eric Clapton is always touted as being the only guitarist the Beatles ever brought in on a record. But, years before, the Beatles had worked hard to get in a studio with another guitarist entirely. Who was that? Yes: It was Steve Cropper.

Anyway. Everyone in the industry—especially guitar players—could do a lot worse than pay attention to how Steve Cropper did things. Thank you, sir.

Fellow guitarists, I need advice!

I’m almost certain I want to buy a Klōs Grand Cutaway full carbon guitar on their Black Friday sale. It’s expensive guitar, but I often play outdoors, crawling on the floor with kids, and just generally in rough conditions, so I think it makes sense. I also love that it can break down into basically a backpack by removing the neck and strapping it on the side.

My ask: any klōs owners out there with opinions to share?

I'm not sure if I hate this #guitar
or really like it.

Next question: how the fuck do I play this sexy thing?

Any video channels for (effectively) absolute beginner electric guitar players? I'm looking to play punk/grunge/classic rock/metal (probably in about that order).

I'm planning on searching around YouTube, but if anyone has specific links or channels they highly recommend, I'd love to hear them!

OMG. I just found out that tc electronic actually has all the schematics of my favorite #guitar #effects pedals online.

I just downloaded the official schematics for the Spark mini booster, the Spark booster, the MojoMojo overdrive, the Dark Matter distortion, and the Rottweiler distortion.

As I suspected, the MojoMojo and Dark Matter are identical save for a few component values. The Rottweiler is a bit different.
