The Guitars of Linkin Park

Hey everybody! Hope your holidays are going well. In typical fashion, I've been absent for a while, but that's about to change, and I'll tell you why in a sec. First note though, I made the biggest update to the My Gear page in a long time. I bought a new amp recently, and I'm also in the process of MASSIVELY overhauling my effects rig (the changes listed reflect what it will look like when it's done, but that shouldn't take too long, provided supply chain issues don't leave me waiting months...

Oh hi there! I randomly noticed today that the template on the front page of the website broke, which led me to discover that Webs had updated to a new version of their SiteBuilder, which led me to discover that my website template was no longer compatible with it. Yikes! So, here's a slightly-new version of the site, everything's pretty much laid out the way it was before but I'll probably keep tweaking things here and there. Sorry if this page had been broken for a while without me noticing...

Hey everyone! I know I neglected the site for the second half of 2020, but if you follow me on Twitter/YouTube, you'll know that I've still been active lately. Let me start off by catching you up on everything I've done content-wise since my last update:

She Couldn't (Guitar 1/Guitar 2)

It's been a bit since I posted anything, so how about a couple new guitars?

First of all, a band of deplorable people who think I'm a troll and currently have me blocked on Twitter (lol) posted a photo of Chester from sometime in the late 90's playing Bobby Benish's white Les Paul backstage. This is now the earliest known photo of Chester with a guitar!

Second, there's a new red Strat that I spotted in Phoenix's home studio in the recent Mercedes AMG "Home ...

Big update today, so wash your hands, stay at least 6 feet away, and check it out!

I haven't been uploading videos every weekend like I typically try to do, but I've still been uploading fairly frequently over the past couple weeks. I've posted new versions of the following videos:

-From the Inside (Guitar 2): Removed the muted strums before the first two choruses, otherwise same audio as previous version

-Shadow of the Day: Sa...

Lots of stuff to cover today! First of all, for anyone who didn't already see it, I premiered a special video on my YouTube channel the other day, my long-discussed remix of Cure for the Itch!

I'm really happy with how this came out, I programmed the drums for it close to a year a...

Hey guys! Finally getting around to posting some new video content again. I recorded 3 songs the other day, and here's the first of them, which is a re-recording of By Myself (with the palm-muted parts played correctly this time):

I've also updated a lot of stuff on the ...

Oh, you thought I was done for the year? Me too. But here's a surprise for you, I finally tabbed the Xero demo (and I did it all in one evening of work)! Links are up on the tabs page. I also made an update to the verse riff in the tab for Tomorrow I just posted a couple days ago, and I made some slight adjustments to both the studio and demo versions of Forgotten (I added blank staves where applicable to show the proper duration of the bridge).

Now, on to tabbing three year...

Hey guys! Sneaking in another update before the end of the year here. I've added one new guitar to the Misc. Guitars page (a red Telecaster that Matt Harris has been playing on Mike's solo tour), two new guitars to Mike's page (a Fender Bass VI he was seen with in the studio recently, and a Squier Strat that he did custom artwork on for a charity auction), and added new photos/updated information for two more guitars on Mike's page (his late '60s white Strat reissue and the Dragon series Taka...

First guitar update in a while! I've added three new guitars to the website:

-On Brad's page, I've added a white Strat with a maple neck that he was seen with while working with Lauren Dair in the studio earlier this year.

-On the Misc. Guitars page, I've added a Les Paul that Phoenix was photographed with during the A Thousand Suns studio sessions, as well as a Zager acoustic guitar that he used during the semi-acoustic show Linkin Park did in the New York...
