I'm starting a little guitar blog and need some feedback, can you help?

As some of you may or may not know, I write the guitar articles for https://www.gearnews.com and I am based in the UK. This week I am beta testing my own little personal guitar blog, as I'm into some things that are just too odd, small or weird for a major site like Gearnews. And I keep getting asked to review or mention gear via my Instagram account, and some of it just isn't appropriate for Gearnews either.

For example I have an unhealthy collection of pedals (mainly fuzz) and a penchant for offset guitars (who'd have thought?) and so you lot are my kind of strange.

I was hoping that you might all be willing to give me some feedback on my new site and any suggestions on ways to improve it overall. Also, I have some nice interviews and reviews lined up for the next few months on my new guitar blog, and if anyone here would like to have their products covered then feel free to get in touch, as I like smaller boutique gear and 'home grown' businesses.

I'm still writing for Gearnews, as they are my kind of crazy and so you can read my ramblings there too!

The site address for my new guitar blog is below, so feel free to have a poke around and see if you can find any mistakes for broken links etc

I struggle with headlines, so sometimes they are a little odd...

Not at all! It gave me pleasant Rocky Horror Picture Show vibes in just the right way. Whether you meant (or are even familiar with) the reference is beside the point- that's good writing, and will catch a lot of connection with a certain demographic segment.

Where'd you buy your pot? Columbia!

What's your favourite colour? Magenta!

So come up to the lab, and see what's on the slab...

If anyone here is running any interesting guitar orientated businesses, like guitar building, pedal building etc Then get in touch via the site, as I can write about your business / new products and it wont cost you a penny.

I like sharing news about smaller brands and up and coming new products. And I'm happy to write up something about any new gear which is interesting, -and I can share images , websites and videos etc

Would you do an interview with a builder?

I'm all up for interviewing guitar builders!

I have two interviews to do this week, both with some very interesting UK luthiers. I'm always up for doing interviews with interesting guitar and pedal builders.

Just hit me up on the site or send me a message on here.
