You ever play a guitar that went out of tune in the middle of a performance? It sucks. But the whole “tuning” thing sucks worse because strings, by definition and physics, go out of tune as they’re being played. So how can electronics pick up the slack? Check Korg’s PitchClip inside for more information.

Mary Jane and musicians have been traveling companions since the two were introduced to each other, and they show no signs of breaking up.

Now go play Jesus a face-melter.

Most of you are probably too young to remember who this guy is (hell, I’m too young to remember), or why you should care. But Bo Diddley’s signature beat helped father an entire genre of music, and can be found in the influences of everyone, from Jimi Hendrix to Eric Clapton.
