Guitarists Rock and Roll the Guitar Wheel at Winter NAMM

We are pleased to report that the Winter NAMM show was a huge hit for the Guitar Wheel. We had profitable appointments with distributors, dealers, music schools, and artists demoing at the booth. It has been 4 years since we first introduced the Guitar Wheel. It was awesome to hear from so many people that they have a Guitar Wheel, know somebody who has one, or have seen our ads in magazines.

Pictured here is Tommy Bolan, lead singer and guitarist for the band N.Y.C., rocking out. Tommy played at the booth Thursday, Friday and Saturday at. He was a crowd magnet.



German Schauss, "The Lightspeeder" was noted by Gutiar World Magazine this summer for being one of the 25 fastest guitar shredders in the world. He is a gutiar instructor at Berklee College of Music in Boston, MA and at the Los Angeles Music Acadamy, and also for the National Guitar Workshop.


Brev Sullivan and Crystal Fawn are the guitarist, and bass player for the band Featured on Fridays. Brev and Crystal also teach kids to how to rock at the School of Rock in Miami Florida. Brev is going to contribute a lesson to the Guitar Wheel book.


Fred Kowalo is a world touring gutiar tech for guitarists like the late Zackk Wylde of Black Label Society, Megadeth, and Alice in Chains. We welcome Fred to the family of Guitar Wheel artist endorsers. I'm sure there are many more acolades that I'm probably leaving out about Fred. Right away I did notice he is one of the nicest guys around.

N.Y.C. Gets The Ball Rolling For Radio Promotions

On October 16 N.Y.C.'s lead man Tommy Bolan was invited to call in for a radio interview with DJ Shawn Kelly on KRWN the 4 Corners Rock Station. N.Y.C.'s song "The One" was the most requested song getting played 27 times a week, the max allowed. N.Y.C. has now been added to the rotation in over 40 cities nation wide. Following the interview Shawn went on to www.guitarwheel.com to check out the Guitar Wheel, and liked it so much he told listeners on the air about the Guitar Wheel and suggested they check out our website.

I contacted Shawn Kelly, who is by the way a very cool guy. He is putting together the ultimate guitar giveaway for this holiday season. He is so impressed with the Guitar Wheel that he is going to promote it on the air and include one with each Fender guitar he gives away. KRWN radio's website will soon have our video of Tommy Bolan demoing the Guitar Wheel under their "Gear We Dig" section.
