Gibson vs. Epiphone Les Paul – What’s the real difference between a high-end Gibson and its more affordable Epiphone counterpart? We break down build quality, tonewoods, pickups, price, and playability to help you decide which Les Paul is right for your needs and budget.

Power Chords Explained – We also explore one of the most fundamental techniques in rock guitar: power chords. Learn how to use them effectively in your rhythm playing, how they’re constructed, and why they’re the backbone of so many great riffs and songs.
