Riff TV - Great New Resources For Our Members

Riff TV was created by guitarists for guitarists. As guitar players with a combined experience of over 40 years, we know what it takes to learn to play the guitar and maintain the instrument. There are many elements that are associated with the electric and acoustic guitar. These elements include study materials, sheet music, workbooks, tablature, amplifiers, effects, guitar cases, strings, picks, tuners, straps, tuning forks, guitar stands, and a multitude of other items. It would be impractical to attempt to list all of the items that are essential to guitarists in this forum post.

Our goal is to provide top quality resources, lessons, lesson videos, and referrals for top-notch guitars and guitar related gear. We are happy to welcome Musician's Friend as an active partner at Riff TV. As everyone knows, Musician's Friend offers incredible deals on top quality guitars, amps, effects, and much more.

Fender amps rock! The Fender amplifier is regularly associated with Rock, Blues and Jazz guitarists. The warm full sound of Fender tube amplifiers are sought after by many guitar players. While some generally associate the amps with Blues, Rock and Jazz music, in reality Fender amps are great for all styles of guitar music. The signature sound of a Fender amp is warm and clean.

Fender amps are ideal for live performance as well as studio applications. Using carefully selected Fender amps and guitar mics in combination with quality PA systems create a very nice sound in live music performance. The Fender amps listed in this area are carefully selected and highly recommended.

We have also included the infamous "Marshall Stacks" that have been consistently voted all time favorites by guitar players the world over.

Guitars are expensive and represent a considerable investment for guitarists and musicians. Traveling guitarists may want to consider purchasing a heavy-duty road or flight case. These cases provide the extra protection required when traveling with your guitar. Guitar "road cases" and "flight cases" can take the extra punishment they face at airports and on the band truck. If you own a fine guitar (acoustic or electric) be sure to protect your investment with a sturdy travel case. The money you spend will protect the investment you have made in your instrument.
