They show you the basics of recording a song on the BR-600. The demo actually does a good job of making it look very simple and fun. Kind of makes me want to buy a BR-600!!

A dude from the New York Guitar show 5/5/2007 rocking out on his homemade super-sized Flying V guitar.

I found this nice little video tutorial. It's a two and a half minute overview of SONAR Home Studio 6. They cover the interface, and a run down of some of the features and views. It's pretty quick, nothing groundbreaking. It gives you a good idea of what to expect from the interface.

There is a new pedal out, it's called the Enhancement Pedal. It's a pedal that will convert your mediocre guitar playing into shredding. It even makes Herman Li sound great. I have attached the video below, check it out...it really does Enhance his sound.

The video is awesome and it will help you enhance your guitar playing as well as teach you to make Pac Man sounds.

I love the Google Video search and Youtube. You can virtually find anything you want lately. Yesterday I was searching around for some of my favorite bands to see what videos existed, and you'd be surprised at the quality stuff I was finding. Awesome.

The best thing I found was this guitar instruction video. It features Kerry King of Slayer showing you how to play Dead Skin Mask from the Seasons in the Abyss record. It's pretty much just him in his home studio rocking out on a little mini Marshall. It still sounds pretty cool though. I can't imagine any Kerry King guitar work not sounding cool. He can rock any rig.
