Our Top 5 Videos of 2020

zZounds Top 5 Videos of 2020

As 2020 draws to a close, we’re looking back at our five most-viewed videos from the year. Check them out below!

Eddie Van Halen’s Top 5 Solos

We’re kicking off this Top 5 with a Top 5! When this video was made back in February, we had no clue what the rest of this year would bring. While Eddie Van Halen’s death was a sad shock, this video is nothing but a celebration of the man’s unmatched talent on the guitar.

Casio CT S200 Casiotone Demo

Mulan, Final Fantasy VII, Saved By the Bell…2020 saw a lot of classic IP get rebooted to mixed results. Casio’s revival of its iconic Casiotone keyboards is definitely a hit. Check out our rundown of a few of the awesome patches and features on the new CT-S200!

Gibson ’60s J-45 Original Demo

Wide open spaces, horses roaming free, and vintage tone so warm it practically glows with incandescent overtones. If you’re a fan of any of the above, we’d highly recommend checking out our demo of the Gibson ’60s J-45 Original acoustic.

A Conversation About Fender Tone Master Amps

Trigger warning: those who don’t think solid-state amps can hack it, prepare to eat your shorts. Fender amps guru Rick Heins stopped by zZ HQ late last year to give us the rundown on the Tone Master series, and laid down a sick guitar jam with our resident shredder Justin.

Legends of Tone: Top Fuzz Tones

Splatty, crunchy, or wooly…how do you like your fuzz? We tracked down a few of our favorite vintage and modern fuzz tones and filmed this shootout, referencing a few iconic riffs to set the stage. Is your top fuzz on the list? Watch and find out!

Editor of the zZounds Blog. Donut snob. I love to write and to play guitar, so naturally, I love writing about guitars. My favorite kind of music is the kind that sounds like Muzak but cooler, you know?

    Check out the Ultra :Lounge series, lots of juicy vintage Hammond stuff, spy music, Dean Martin drinking-type stuff, and Illinois Street Lounge on soma FM. If you’re as hip as you sound, I’m pretty much preaching to the choir, I’m sure!
