Blink 182 is made up of band members Travis Barker, Mark Hoppus, and Tom Delonge. Travis was brought into the world in San Diego November 14, 1975. He received his first drum set when he was young and began playing, becoming a skilled drummer. Travis played in many different bands before settling down with Blink 182, such as the ska band the Aquabats, where he went by the name "Travis Baron Von Tito." He sports tattoos and piercings, all of which have personal meaning to him, and he also is the owner/operator of his own shop, Famous Stars and Straps.
Mark was born in California March 15, 1972. He went through his parents' divorce when he was 14 years old and ended up living with his dad in Washington. He earned his first amp and bass when he was 15 for helping his dad repaint the house. Who would have guessed that he first wanted to be an English teacher? He is the one in the band with the least amount of piercings and tattoos.
Tom came into the world in San Diego December 13, 1975. He got used to hard work at an early age. In his hometown, he spent his time working on a construction site and at Gary's Chicken and Ribs. He even got to be in a movie with a one-liner as a fast food clerk.
The story of Blink 182 first started in 1992, with Scott Raynor (drums), Mark Hoppus (bass, vocals), and Tom Delonge (guitar, vocals). The name of the band then was just "Blink." They went for Blink 182 when the threat of another band with the same name came up. Even though there are rumors and ideas floating around about what exactly "182" stands for, it was actually random.
Their brutal, heartfelt lyrics have earned them a huge following. In 1995 they came out with their first full album, "Cheshire Cat," and then "Dude Ranch" followed in 1997. This album was the one that helped them gain widespread commercial success. This is also when Scott went back to college and left the band. He was replaced by Travis Barker, who used to be one of the Aquabats.
At the end of 1998, the band quit touring to make their next album, "Enema of the State." This was even more popular than "Dude Ranch" and helped get the band's sound out there to new groups of listeners.
Nine years on, the band is still as popular as ever and look set to become one of the classic pop punk bands of our time.
There are a number of guitar accessories that you might want to buy for your guitar. Guitar accessories are relatively cheap and if you are buying a guitar, you might be able to pick up a good deal if you want to buy a number of accessories as well.
Here is a list of guitar accessories to consider (in order of the most popular):

Guitar Bags and Cases
If you plan on gigging a lot or travelling on planes/trains etc. I recommend buying a guitar case, otherwise a padded gig bag will do just fine. The Kinsman guitar cases and guitar bags are a very good quality and are also one of the most popular. The Kinsman guitar bags come in three grades.
1) Standard - hardly any padding and one small pouch for music books and accessories
2) Deluxe - quite well padded, with two pouches
3) Premium - extremely well padded, with large and small pouches and a shoulder strap.
The Kinsman guitar cases are made for Stratocasters, Telecasters, Les Paul shape, electric, acoustic or bass guitars.

Marshall
Fender
Vox
Peavey
Laney
Line 6
Mesa Boogie
Kustom
Crate
Carlsbro
Ashdown
BB Blaster
Yamaha
Warwick
Dean
Crafter
Cruiser
Danelectro
All guitar amplifiers sound different. Some (like Marshall and Line 6) are good for Rock and Roll, others have a softer and less bright sound like the popular Vox amps and Mesa Boogie.
For beginners, I would recommend either the Peavey Backstage or the BB10 blaster amp.
The Peavey Backstage is by far the most popular and best value for money beginner's guitar amp on the market.
Guitar stands or Guitar Hangers
There are lots of different types of guitar stands, it really depends on which stand is more suited to you.
There is the standard guitar stand, the universal guitar stand, the auto grab guitar stand, the double and triple guitar stand and the wall mounted guitar stand. The standard guitar stand is the most popular and comes in three different types: i) electric/bass, ii) classical and iii) universal.
The most popular* brands are:
Stagg
Hercules
QuikLok
Giraffe
Warwick
Fender
String Swing
Ibanez
Plectrums (also known as picks)
Plectrums are very cheap and can be bought individually, or in packs.
Most commonly you can buy plectrums on the web in packs of 6.
Guitar plectrums come in different gauges. Usually the thinner ones are
used with Classical, Spanish or Flamenco guitars, the medium gauges with Electric and Acoustic guitars and the thickest ones with Basses.
There are lots of brands of plectrums. The most popular* are:

Guitar Leads normally come in different lengths: The most common is the 15 feet/4.5 metre leads. This length is ample if you are playing in a band.
Popular* brands of guitar leads/cables are:
Ibanez
Peavey
Stagg
Guitar straps
If you want to buy a gift for a guitarist, there is nothing better than a nice leather guitar strap.
Levys and Gibson are the most famous brands of guitar straps, Levys have the most comprehensive selection.
Other guitar straps to look out for are Dickies and Wrangler.
Guitar Capo
A capo is a clamp that you can use on different frets of the guitar to change the pitch of the open strings. Each fret on the guitar is a half step. If you place the capo on the 1st fret, all of the open strings will sound a semi-tone higher than normal, this makes changing the key of a song easy.
Dunlop and Shubb are the most popular* guitar capos.
Guitar Slide
The guitar slide is a tube of some hard material about one to two inches long. Commonly, it's made from glass and metals. Each type of guitar slide has distinct characteristics, tonality, and overall sound. The guitar slide is pressed lightly against the strings so as not to touch the strings of the fret, producing a sustained tone which can be varied in pitch by moving the slide across the neck. A quick side-to-side motion is often used in this way to generate vibrato.
The most popular brand to go for is Dunlop.
Headphones
If you want to play at home but don't want to disturb your neighbours, then a good set of headphones is recommended.
Any headphones will do, so take your pick from any of the following leading brands:
Acer
Acoustic Research

If you want to play your guitar in time then you are going to need to buy a metronome.
You can choose from modern electronic metronomes or traditional mechanical metronomes.
Traditional metronomes look very nice and are made from either plastic or wood, they are also known as pendulum metronomes because the ticking sound is produced by a small pendulum that swings back and forth, much like the old Grandfather clocks. The Traditional wooden or plastic metronomes tend to be a lot more expensive than the electronic metronomes.
The leading metronome brands in order of popularity* are:
Wittner
Korg
Yamaha
Seiko
Qwik Time
Cleaning and maintenance (polish, nut file set, wrench set, fret file set)
To look after your guitar you will need to at least buy some guitar polish. Gibson produce a good guitar polish and also Doctor Ducks Axe Wax is very popular.
If you are serious about guitar playing then you might want to have a nut file, fret file or wrench set. You can keep your guitar in top playing condition.
Footstool
The guitar footstool is used mainly by Classical, Spanish or Flamenco guitarists.
Their style of playing and the way they hold the guitar makes the use of a footstool quite important.
Stringwinder (also known as a pegwinder)
If you have lots of guitars, own a guitar shop, or tune guitars on a regular basis, the guitar stringwinder comes in handy as a real time saver. Instead of turning the guitar pegs by hand, you can use the stringwinder to speed up the process.
Straplok set
For replacing the bolt that holds on your guitar strap.
Power adaptor for effects pedals
If you use effects pedals then you will need a power adaptor to connect to the mains.

What is Shamanism?
Shamanism is the oldest way in which humanity has sought connection with Creation. The origins of shamanism go back at least 40,000 - 50,000 years to Stone age times. All of us have evolved from shamanic cultures, it is our roots wherever we live.
A shaman knows that all things are alive and 'walks with one foot in the everyday world and one foot in the spirit world'. Contemporary shamanism is the application of these ancient timeless ways to life here and now.
Shamanism is not a belief system. It is a path to knowledge which is gained through experience of life, through rituals, ceremonies, prayers and meditation, trials and tests. Knowledge is something that works, that stands up to the test of time, that is known from the inside.
Cosmology of the shaman
Shamans divide non-ordinary reality into three other regions, the upper, lower and the middle worlds. Each has its own characteristics and whilst each individual traveller experiences initially their own version, once one becomes a proficient journeyer, it is amazing just how connected we all are at these levels.
The Lower world is the place of instinctual knowing where our animal-like powers reside and where we can find practical earthly help and guidance.
The Upper world is the word of spirit teachers, cosmic beings, great wise elders, ancestors who appear usually in human form. Their help and guidance is often perceived to be more general and philosophical.
The Middle world is both the everyday physical world that we live in, the world of ordinary reality, the tonal, and also a parallel non-ordinary version of our world.
It is a CD specifically made for shamanic journeying, and to do this, the drums have to be as monotonous as possible and maintain a consistent beat between 205 to 210 beats per minute. At this specific beat, the brain is stimulated to synthesise natural beta-endorphins which facilitate a person to move into what is known as the 'second attention', an altered state of awareness, or shamanic state of consciousness. This state of awareness facilitates the shamanic journey.
A Shamanic Journey to the Lower world.
To begin, find a place that you feel comfortable and will not be disturbed for about 30 minutes. When you are ready, lie down comfortably, and darken the room, or at least cover your eyes. It is easier to journey in non-ordinary reality in the dark. Remove tight clothing, take off your shoes and allow your breathing to move to a gentle rhythm. Relax for a few minutes, focusing on being centred, and grounded.
When you are ready visualise or imagine, a place which reminds you of the Earth, a place which you know of. This place should be a real place, perhaps somewhere you have visited, or seen in a film or photograph, and it can be anywhere, a hill, mountain, grasslands, forest, by the ocean. At this place allow yourself to perceive an entrance or opening into the Lower world. This entrance can be a hollow tree, an animal burrow, a cave entrance, a man-made opening e.g.; a trapdoor, it can any entrance into the ground or water. You will find that the right entrance will feel comfortable to you, take a minute or so to study it in detail.
Now when you are ready, enter into the opening. The beginning of the tunnel may appear dark, it may angle down in a slight incline, or it may incline steeply. The tunnel may appear to be ribbed, and often it bends, sometimes it may become spiral-like, but it will always lead downwards.
Continue down the tunnel until you come out of doors into a landscape. If you come into a cavern, you will need to move outside and into the landscape, there will be an exit for example a door or an opening which will enable you to do this, it should be easy to get sight of it.
Now in the landscape, just look around. It may be daytime, night-time, forest, woodland, or near water. Extend your senses, listen, can you hear anything, the sound of birdsong, the sound that the wind makes as it blows through the tree tops, perhaps the sound of running , flowing water. Feel the ground underneath your feet, feel the ground pushing up against the soles of your feet. Sense the wind, the breeze, sense the movement of air around you. What does it feel like? Have an awareness of being there.
If you want to explore the landscape, remember where the entrance is, keep track of where you go. Just as in any ordinary-reality journey, it helps if you keep a note of landmarks so you can retrace your steps to return.

Cover notes

Technical information
The drumming was recorded live directly onto digital tape at Sync City recording studio in London. The drumming was played in the 'live-sound' studio and no sound modification process was used.
Both drums were single headed frame drums. For the double drumming track, both drums were held facing each other in a position to optimise the natural reverberation.
The recording engineer was Wan Hewitt, himself a professional drummer. He has been dubbed the 'drummers darling' due to the great live sound he gets.
just testing out my new amp ... I know I'm not the world's best singer, but I'm posting this anyway :) I had to use my light as a mic stand, so that's why it's so dark.

Thanks.
I get the calls all the time, "Buster I'm building a studio... what should I buy."
Well truth be told my buddies in the manufacturing industry might not like what I suggest, because I am going to steer you away from normal choices. Ill give you the same advice I give them and that is to get nose out of the Musicians Friend catalog. Once that is done we can then find a great solution that will work for your unique purposes and get you the biggest bang for the buck.
New Shiny Gear!!
Ok, the allure of unpacking a piece of new gear from its bubble wrap may be exciting but if you really want to get the biggest bang for your buck you are going to have to piss off those big-box retailers like Guitar Mart, and start scouring Ebay and Craigslist.
There are some great pieces of gear that have tons of life that won't break the bank.
The end use must be kept in mind. For instance if you are going to run a commercial multi-tracking facility then you will want something completely different than if you are simply composing your own songs.
Consider your requirements honestly and see if a used 002 may work for you . People are unloading them all the time as they upgrade. It has practically the same features as the new rigs with much less cost. Save the money and use it to buy a better microphone, which is really what you need anyway.
If you are considering laying out the bones for a big HD system first consider if you could get by with a 003 expanded. You could buy a nice firewire interface for under a grand to expand your real time tracking capability to a full 18 tracks at a time. And the real bonus, you will be thousands ahead in budget. With a beefy enough computer you can run all the same plugins as the HTDM system but, you will be able to afford more of them.
The Plugin Game
Ok, if you are going to take a project from recording to mixdown in your studio then you are going to need some quality plugins - bottom line. Plugins give you the pallet to create polished and produced sounding mixes. So spend your money wisely. This is also an area where you can pick up some used gems as well. Many of the best plugs are for sale used on Ebay for fractions of their retail price. Purchasing is simply a matter of transferring the iLok asset from the seller to you. It does involve a transfer fee but for the savings on the plugin it is well worth the effort.
The Other Stuff
For all the other gear - you know the boring stuff like mics, stands and headphones - look for used gear as well. But when it comes to critical chain items such as microphones, buy names.
I see way too many people make the amateur mistake of buying no-name gear which is touted to be the same as say a Neumann [ it looks like one after all]. This is a rookie mistake.
You picked Protools because it is what the pros use right? Why shouldn't you make your critical chain (mics, pres compressors) purchase decisions based on the same information. Spend wisely and you will have a piece of gear that serves you well for decades. Spend foolishly and you will waste money by having to upgrade to what you should have purchased the first time.
Canary Mine - Live From A Suburban Basement We set up Carl by the pool table with mikes hanging from the drop-ceiling. Joe stood between two couches. Mim played her keyboards in front of the stand-up piano. I set my amp at the bottom of the basement stairs. We plugged everything into my 8-channel mixer into my 4-channel mixer into my DJ mixer. This was all fed into my computer and recorded using Sound Forge. This stereo recording was recorded live. No multi-track was used. This is a raw, off the floor recording.

This is another one of my personal gear offerings...I just can't afford to keep it now...the economy sucks and I have to put food on the table. This is in great condition as it hardly got used. It's "real" made in England Marshall too...it has a pair of made in England Celestion G12T-75 speakers and can be run 150 watts into 8 ohms mono or 75 watts/16 ohms per side stereo. I'll be listing it on ebay or you can contact me here directly via the send a message link at my channel. I hope you enjoy this video for whatever reason you may be watching. Again, this is a way for me to say goodbye to an old friend that I can see and hear and remember from time to time. Isell lots of used guitars and basses (both here and on ebay...same name there...100% positive feedback) and I'm a dealer for the Mbrace stands (on special right now until the end of 2009 for $60.00 including shipping in the US and $85.00 world-wide) and also Thomastik-Infeld strings. Let me know if there is something you want/write me if you're interested...use the send a message link on my channel page. Also...Guitars Wanted as I'm always looking for more guitars...I buy/sell/trade 'em. The guitar is plugged straight into a Fender Super Sonic combo but I'm not using the built in speaker, only the amp section, and it is plugged directly into the Marshall speaker cabinet. Any other questions, just ask... Here is a link to my current ebay auctions if you are interested... shop.ebay.com If you like what you hear, or are ...

Initially Grohl intended to write acoustic material by himself, but eventually the project involved the entire band.[12] To record its fifth album, the band shifted to Los Angeles and built a recording studio, dubbed Studio 606 West. Grohl insisted that the album be divided into two discs–one full of rock songs, the other featuring acoustic tracks.[10] In Your Honor was released in June 2005. The album's singles included "Best of You", "DOA", "Resolve", "No Way Back", and "Miracle". On June 17, 2006, Foo Fighters performed their largest non-festival headlining concert to date at London's Hyde Park. The band was supported by Juliette and the Licks, Angels & Airwaves, Queens of the Stone Age, and Motörhead. Motörhead's Lemmy joined the band on stage to sing "Shake Your Blood" from Dave Grohl's Probot album. Also, as a surprise performance, Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen jammed with Foo Fighters, playing part of "We Will Rock You" as a lead into "Tie Your Mother Down". In further support of In Your Honor, the band decided to organize a short acoustic tour for the summer of 2006. The tour included former member Pat Smear, who rejoined the band as an extra guitarist, Petra Haden on violin ...
Thank you for watching my video. This is me covering Guns N' Roses' "Chinese Democracy" because I'm too excited to have the album to stand without doing anything. I want to thank all of GUNS N' ROSES with this video, especially AXL for being GUNS N' ROSES alive. The play in this video is line recording as usual. I didn't know who of the 3 guitarist in the band play which part so I played what I could play. And I think the solo was played by Robin and Ron (in the studio take, the solo was played by Robin and Buckethead) but I'm not a technical guitarist like Bumblefoot so I improvised the 2nd half of the solo.. I used Gibson Les Paul Classic with Gibson 57 classic pickups. If you have some questions about my guitar, amp, and other equipments or something, please watch my channel and read FAQ. I wish you enjoy this video. Thanks :)
This is Miles, Sam and Matt from The Atrocities practicing the popular Libertines classic track, "Can Stand Me Now". This was the first time we had attempted to play it through as a band so it is not to good. and also, Miles guitar is louder than anything else by far (because the camera was next to his amp!)

SCENARIO
Joe is a lead guitarist in a covers/remake band. He is a good guitarist and cool under pressure. He plays for a band called the Psycho Nymphos. They are a five piece band with two guitarist, keys, bass and drums. The other guitarist also doubles as the singer. Yet this is Joe's nightmare. As a guitarist, this scenario should induce uncontrollable trembling of all body parts and have you soiling your underwear. This, is the gig from hell.
Thinking that he starts at 10:00, Joe shows up at the venue with two hours to spare. Well, it would be two hours to spare, but Joe got given the wrong information. The Band is due to start at 8:30 and Joe hasn't even unpacked his gear yet, let alone set up. They had been trying to call Joe on his phone, but it was switched off. Joe, keeping cool, unpacks his car in a hurry and somehow manages to get everything set up only 10 minutes late. The crowd is getting restless and the bar manager is furious. Joe is keeping his cool.
No sooner than finishing his finally tune up, the Nymphos start. After another minute of working out what song to play, the Nymphos kick off their first song. It sounds terrible, with Joe's guitar to quiet and bass guitar too loud. The band plays the song half heartedly while they adjust levels and try to get things right. The crowd is wondering what the hell is going on, and the bar manager is wondering who the hell he hired and why. Joe is a little frustrated.
After standing around working out what to play next, the band begins the second song as suggested by the drummer. This one sounds better until the first chorus. Half way through the first chorus... TWANG.... Joe busts a string. Joe makes do for the time being until the solo, when he realizes that the guitar solo is going to be somewhat difficult with only 5 strings. Joe fumbles his way through until the end of the song. Joe is very embarrassed.
The band stands around for a minute or two while Joe replaces the broken string. Once that is done they kick off into the next song. This one goes OK, and the crowd seems to be getting into it a little bit more. The bar manager is starting to relax, and Joe is starting to enjoy himself.
In fact, everyone is enjoying themselves. And their beers. A little too much. The Nymphos are starting to get a little sloppy and starting to miss cues. Especially the singer. He is starting to miss when he is supposed to be coming in, and slurring words. While the boys in the band are finding it hilarious, the crowd are not. Joe is starting to get tipsy.
The next song Joe's guitar starts making funny noises, and the sound starts cutting out. Eventually Joe's guitar disappears. He randomly stomps on some pedals and realizes that there is no power. He was sure those 9 volt batteries were still good. Joe unplugs his guitar lead from the pedal board and plugs it straight into his amp. Joe is getting angry, just like the crowd and the bar manager.
Two songs from the end, the stage goes black. All the amps turn off and all that can be heard is the drummer pounding away. After a few seconds all of the Nymphos are standing around, looking stupid wondering what is going on. About 30 seconds later, the power returns. The band chats quickly and decides to start the song again. This time they get through it all. They play there last song the few remaining patrons, pack up, pick up their check and leave the bar, never to return.
Could it get any worse for Joe and his band, the Psycho Nymphos? I doubt it. But they could have survived all of these problems by being prepared. It may seem insurmountable, but I have played a gig where nearly all of this happened in one night, and we survived. It's all preparation. This is what you need to do to survive this nightmare.
ALWAYS STAY IN CONTACT
There is no excuse to be late to a gig. With today's modern communications technology, everyone has the potential to be contactable all of the time. Even if Joe got the time wrong, a simple phone call would have solved all the problems. However, it is always a great idea for a band to meet at a central location at some point before a show, and travel together "convoy" style if possible. This is a sure fire way to make sure everyone arrives on time, doesn't get lost, or can get assistance if something does go wrong.
The spill over effect of this is that when you arrive on time, you can take your time and set up properly, sound check, as well as check your equipment for problems and in general, relax before the show starts.
KNOW WHAT SONG COMES NEXT
Unless you are some freeform jam rock improv jazz type thing, you need to know what you are going to play. Every member of the band should know what song is coming next so they can prepare for it without having to debate first what song to play in the first place. Have a set list in sight for every member of the band. Know in advance what songs may require guitar changes or change of tuning so that you don't kick off the tune until everyone is ready. Moments like that are easily filled with some banter, usually between the singer and the audience.
ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE
It's not always possible, but you should aim to have a backup guitar ready to go at all times. This is especially true for a band with two guitarists like the Nymphos. With the second guitarist still playing, and your backup guitar primed for playing, it is more than feasible to switch guitars mid song. It takes about 10 seconds and looks very professional. Even if you are the only guitarist, depending on the song you can sometimes get away with it as well. However sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and get through it. Once the song is over you can grab you backup guitar and play the rest of the set without keeping everyone hanging around while you change a string. Change it between sets or if you only have one set then don't bother.
If you can't keep a spare guitar handy and need to change strings, have some backup material. This applies to all band members. You should have a song that can be played when any member of the band is incapacitated. Then any running repairs can be made while the rest of the band covers.
STAY SOBER / CLEAN / STRAIGHT
It doesn't matter what you think, you do not sound better when you are smashed. Sure, maybe to your ears, but not to mine or anyone else's. A few years ago, I remember playing a huge New Years Eve show where there were two bands. There was us playing inside, and the main band playing on the outside stage. The other band I had seen many times before and they were great. In fact they were one of the most popular bands to play this particular venue. In between sets, they were heading up to their rooms, getting stoned and drunk, then coming back down to play their set is a semi comatose state. We were inside, enjoying a few drinks between sets and keeping it together. Our sets overlapped slightly and by the end of the night, whenever both bands were playing, inside was packed and outside the other band was ignored. The following year, we were asked back to play New Years again as the only band. In fact after that New Years gig we were booked regularly to play both nights of the weekend every month (think about that for a second, we were booked for 25% of that venues available shows). It may be fun to get tanked and play, but it won't get you anywhere.
NEVER TRUST A BATTERY
To this day I still cannot believe people run their effects off batteries. It is just a disaster waiting to happen. Sure, I have batteries in my pedals that I swap out every few months. But they are the BACKUP for when some drunken idiot in the crowd falls onto the stage and pulls out a power lead or something similar. Or perhaps you accidentally leave a cable plugged in between sets and the battery drains on you. If you do need to run off battery, work out how long they last and change the battery in half that time. This should help avoid unwanted failures at critical times, and make sure you have extra batteries.
By the way, have you ever heard the sound a Tube Screamer makes when it's failing? It's awful.
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING ELECTRICITY
There is not a lot you can do about this but ride it out. Although it's not as bad as it sounds. When a venue looses power, you can be sure it will be up in less than minute unless something MAJOR has gone wrong, in which case the venue will normally shut if it is a building wide blackout. So for the next 60 seconds, what do you do? It's easy. Nobody stops. The entire band keeps playing. The singer goes to the front of the stage and starts yelling the lyrics at the crowd. I am yet to see this not work. The crowd will start singing back. When the power kicks back in the band hasn't missed a beat and the crowd will go crazy. It is slick and professional and will fire up the crowd for the rest of the night.
If it goes over the 60 seconds just finish the song and wait. Not much more you can do, but at least you tried.
JUST BE PREPARED
If you are prepared and use common sense, you can cope with any disaster. I personally have had all these issues, besides the drunken stupidity, happen in one night, and we survived by having an escape plan and sticking to it. It's not that hard to come up with your own emergency escape route, and I hope these examples can inspire you to be even more gig ready.

Guitar Bags and Cases
If you plan on gigging a lot or travelling on planes/trains etc. I recommend buying a guitar case, otherwise a padded gig bag will do just fine. The Kinsman guitar cases and guitar bags are a very good quality and are also one of the most popular. The Kinsman guitar bags come in three grades.
1) Standard - hardly any padding and one small pouch for music books and accessories
2) Deluxe - quite well padded, with two pouches

Practice amps (these are normally quite small)
Standard amps (used for playing in bands or gigging)
Bass amps (used only with bass guitars)

Marshall
Fender
Vox
Peavey
Laney
Line 6
Mesa Boogie
Kustom
Crate
Carlsbro
Ashdown
BB Blaster
Yamaha
Warwick
Dean
Crafter
Cruiser
Danelectro
All guitar amplifiers sound different. Some (like Marshall and Line 6) are good for Rock and Roll, others have a softer and less bright sound like the popular Vox amps and Mesa Boogie.
For beginners, I would recommend either the Peavey Backstage or the BB10 blaster amp.
The Peavey Backstage is by far the most popular and best value for money beginner's guitar amp on the market.
Guitar stands or Guitar Hangers
There are lots of different types of guitar stands, it really depends on which stand is more suited to you.
There is the standard guitar stand, the universal guitar stand, the auto grab guitar stand, the double and triple guitar stand and the wall mounted guitar stand. The standard guitar stand is the most popular and comes in three different types: i) electric/bass, ii) classical and iii) universal.
The most popular* brands are:
Stagg
Hercules
QuikLok
Giraffe
Warwick
Fender
String Swing
Ibanez
Plectrums (also known as picks)
Plectrums are very cheap and can be bought individually, or in packs.
Most commonly you can buy plectrums on the web in packs of 6.
Guitar plectrums come in different gauges. Usually the thinner ones are
used with Classical, Spanish or Flamenco guitars, the medium gauges with Electric and Acoustic guitars and the thickest ones with Basses.
There are lots of brands of plectrums. The most popular* are:

Stagg
Guitar straps
If you want to buy a gift for a guitarist, there is nothing better than a nice leather guitar strap.
Levys and Gibson are the most famous brands of guitar straps, Levys have the most comprehensive selection.
Other guitar straps to look out for are Dickies and Wrangler.
Guitar Capo
A capo is a clamp that you can use on different frets of the guitar to change the pitch of the open strings. Each fret on the guitar is a half step. If you place the capo on the 1st fret, all of the open strings will sound a semi-tone higher than normal, this makes changing the key of a song easy.
Dunlop and Shubb are the most popular* guitar capos.
Guitar Slide
The guitar slide is a tube of some hard material about one to two inches long. Commonly, it's made from glass and metals. Each type of guitar slide has distinct characteristics, tonality, and overall sound. The guitar slide is pressed lightly against the strings so as not to touch the strings of the fret, producing a sustained tone which can be varied in pitch by moving the slide across the neck. A quick side-to-side motion is often used in this way to generate vibrato.
The most popular brand to go for is Dunlop.
Headphones
If you want to play at home but don't want to disturb your neighbours, then a good set of headphones is recommended.
Any headphones will do, so take your pick from any of the following leading brands:

Metronome
If you want to play your guitar in time then you are going to need to buy a metronome.
You can choose from modern electronic metronomes or traditional mechanical metronomes.
Traditional metronomes look very nice and are made from either plastic or wood, they are also known as pendulum metronomes because the ticking sound is produced by a small pendulum that swings back and forth, much like the old Grandfather clocks. The Traditional wooden or plastic metronomes tend to be a lot more expensive than the electronic metronomes.
The leading metronome brands in order of popularity* are:
Wittner
Korg
Yamaha
Seiko
Qwik Time
Cleaning and maintenance (polish, nut file set, wrench set, fret file set)
To look after your guitar you will need to at least buy some guitar polish. Gibson produce a good guitar polish and also Doctor Ducks Axe Wax is very popular.
If you are serious about guitar playing then you might want to have a nut file, fret file or wrench set. You can keep your guitar in top playing condition.
Footstool
The guitar footstool is used mainly by Classical, Spanish or Flamenco guitarists.
Their style of playing and the way they hold the guitar makes the use of a footstool quite important.
Stringwinder (also known as a pegwinder)
If you have lots of guitars, own a guitar shop, or tune guitars on a regular basis, the guitar stringwinder comes in handy as a real time saver. Instead of turning the guitar pegs by hand, you can use the stringwinder to speed up the process.
Straplok set
For replacing the bolt that holds on your guitar strap.
Power adaptor for effects pedals
If you use effects pedals then you will need a power adaptor to connect to the mains.

This innovative guitar amp stand uses three parts that support the "one twelve" amp, just past it's center of balance, for better listening.
There are three major different types of microphones used for music recording (at major label studios, indie studios, & home studios alike) and they are as follows:
(1) Dynamic microphones.
(2) Large diapragm condenser microphones.
(3) Small diapraghm condenser microphones.
No Single "Best" Microphone
The first important thing to understand is that there is no "one mic fits all" solution. Each microphone is best suited to a certain type of recording. The first thing you need to know is what you are recording. Once you know that then you can select the best type of microphone (and from there you can choose the specific brand of microphone that you can afford.)
Dynamic Microphones
These are generally the cheapest type of microphone and they are also the most durable. They don't require "phantom power" like condenser mics do (more on that in the condenser mic section of this article.) What are they best suited for? They are used for recording amplified sounds such as an electric guitar's amp. You may think that you should record your electric guitar directly into your recording device but this is not true. You will never capture the same sort of sound by going directly in as you will when recording an amp. They are also used for recording drums (bass drums, snares, & toms.)
Large Diapraghm Condenser Microphones
These are used for recording vocals and "deep" sounding acoustic instruments such as a cello or an upright bass. These tend to be more expensive and in fact they can get to be extremely expensive in some cases (like the famous Neumann U87 which retails for over $4000.)
Small Diapraghm Condenser Microphones
These are used for recording most acoustic instruments (acoustic guitars, violins, etc) and for recording cymbals and hi-hats on a live drum set.
Which Brand?
Now that you know which type of microphone to use, the next decision is which brand should you buy? For the most part the more expensive the microphone, the higher quality it is. This isn't simply a situation where the same products are being stamped with different brands (see: clothing) it's a situation where there are vast differences in the quality. You will notice a significant improvement in sound quality when using a more expensive mic. Thus the answer to this question is: Buy the most expensive microphones you can afford.
