Gibson SG Standard ’61

Let’s see…@ampturco plays a Gibson SG, plugged into an Orange Rockerverb and wears a Black Sabbath hoodie…we’re guessing we’re about to hear some DOOM.

Epiphone Dot

Things get jazzy when @jcassioguitar picks up his Epi Dot! Listen to that smooth, rolled-off top-end tone and incredible licks!

PRS Paul Reed Smith CE24

The smooth licks, the showmanship, the flippant disregard for shirt buttons, and of course, @hecto_romeroz’s PRS CE24…we might say this is better than Gnarls Barkley’s original. Does that make us crazy?

Jackson Pro Series Soloist SL2

When you think of a Jackson guitar, you think metal, and @ronsandhu captures the vibe perfectly with his rendition of this Queensryche solo on his Jackson Soloist SL2.

Going way back for this one…just refreshing myself. Really cool solo by Chris Degarmo “Queen of the Reich” #oldschoolmetal #dadmetal #MarshallAmplification #ErnieBallParadigm #DunlopFlow #JacksonSL2 @queensrycheofficial @officialjacksonguitars @marshallamps_uk @ernieball @jimdunlopusa

Fender American Pro Stratocaster

In the hands of @bodega_ray, a blue Fender American Pro Stratocaster transforms into a tone pony running free…or is it more of a soaring eagle? You decide.

Ibanez RG550 Genesis

This Dream Theater riff is way too prog to dance to, but we’re glad @marcoshreds‘ daughter was so into it. We gave up trying to headbang in whatever time signature that is and just admired the Desert Sun Yellow finish on that Ibanez RG550 Genesis.

Erotomania 🤘🏼 . Today I used Erotomania as a musical background for one of my Instastories and it got stuck in my head real bad 😀 My baby girl was over and as I started humming the main riff with her in my arms, she started dancing and flailing her arms around in joy – awesome! Proud as hell we listened to the full song and danced for a while 🤍 She also dug Guthrie!! Let's go! 💪🏼 . I used to be able to play this one probably over a decade ago, everything except for the last solo. Today I thought I'd revisit it. Determind to get the track down 100% now, but I really do need to start from scratch – sorry for butchering that first solo!! 😆 . Camera audio only, sorry! Quick and dirty… . #erotomania #dreamtheater @dreamtheaterofficial #practicetime #ibanez #rg550 #rg550dy #genesis #iplayibanez @iplayibanez #teamibanez

Gretsch G5220 Electromatic Jet BT

If hot, greasy, finger-lickin’ good, old-time little-bit-country-little-bit-rock-n-roll-all-night guitar solos are your thing, you might just pick up what @woody_guitarmusic is putting down on this Gretsch G5220.

Schecter PT

The “PT” stands for Pete Townshend, but it’s Jake E. Lee that @alvaro93a3 is paying tribute to with his take on the solo from Ozzy’s “Bark at the Moon.”
