I had to do a little checking, but this week is another Guitar Noise anniversary – somewhere around July 15, 2003, we posted our first (and only!) video lesson! If you’ve ever wanted to see what Nick Torres’ fingers looked like, here’s your chance! Plus we also had a great article on replacing pickups, courtesy of Bill Cozzo:

If you’re like me, you probably think that changing the pickups on your guitar is a thing best left to the pros. But it doesn’t have to be. Bill Cozzo brings the same style that defines his reviews to help us get through the first step in choosing a new set of pickups – deciding what we want in the first place! And then knowing how to get what tone we desire from our guitar.

Hold on to your hats! Don’t try this at home! Amaze your friends and family! Have I missed anything?
