- The New York Times has a simplistic but fairly neat flash graphic showing the design process of a Martin guitar.

- Somone in Atlanta posts a Craig's List guitar lesson ad with a twist. The lessons are free for women who agree to be topless during the lesson. But not just any women: "Also, the free/topless offer only goes for attractive, not overly fat females. Seeing fat girls topless does not make my day better. Fat girls are welcome to take guitar lessons, but you have to pay just like any dudes." I'm assuming he doesn't get much of a response.

A few cool links from Gibson:

- Video lesson on learning how to play the guitar riff from Green Onions. You may not recognize the name of the song but you'll recognize the tune of this instrumental from the 60's.

- A gear guide on recreating Wilco's live sound. If you haven't been keeping up with Wilco, there music has taken a guitar heavy turn with the addition of Nels Cline. Their last album "Sky Blue Sky" has at times a Grateful Dead/Phish type jam band sound. But with fuzzier guitars. Check the performance of "You Are My Face" below. It's starts off mellow and then kicks it up a notch.
