I spent the last year building Guitaroverse, a social hub for guitarists to connect, share gear, get advice and stay on top of guitar news. Eventually I want it to become a place that helps promote guitar driven artists and bands too. Check it out at guitaroverse.com

The King of Cool! ESP E-II Eclipse Tiger Eye Sunburst. What do you think, grab this guitar or just grab an EC-1000? youtu.be/pLDcumQ49ps

I told myself 2026 was about releasing more music. Instead I bought another guitar. They’re tools. Not the goal. Trying to remember that. Anyone else fall into the gear rabbit hole? Last one. Promise... ESP E-II Eclipse Tiger Eye Sunburst.

If you had 10 minutes alone with this guitar… what would you play? Gibson Les Paul Modern Figured Cobalt Burst

NGD - Scored a pretty good deal on this ESP E-II Eclipse. Selector knob was snapped off when I got it, but got comped $100 to get it fixed, so that is nice! Easily my new favorite guitar by far.

Picked this guitar up because I liked the Vibe. This Epiphone is a welcomed edition. m.youtube.com/shorts/wvOM_...

Buying your first electric guitar is mostly about feel, not specs. I wrote a straightforward guide for beginners and returning players who feel overwhelmed by options. nickneumann.com/electric-gui...

Had a choice between a Martin guitar or this bad boy. Easy choice! On a serious note, or not so serious, show me your favorite guitars. Looking to connect with people who like to talk gear and make guitar driven music. #guitar #musicsky

Sold my Taylor 214e DLX and picked up a Fender Paramount PD-220 for $400. Solid wood top, back, and sides. Calling this one a win. Seriously underrated acoustic for the price.

If you’re new to guitar or thinking about buying an acoustic guitar, I put together a starter acoustic guitar buying guide to help you avoid wasting time and money. It covers the basics and is a solid starting point so you can focus on making music, not buying gear! nickneumann.com/acoustic-gui...

When people talk about guitar necks, I see “set neck,” “set-thru,” and “neck-through” used interchangeably, and they’re not the same thing. I put together a quick short breaking down the construction differences (no tone debates, just how they’re built). youtube.com/shorts/8Loam...

Not too bad for some dude recording punk and alt rock inspired music in his “studio” (aka the office) between work and real life. New stuff in 2026. Check out what’s out now: hyperfollow.com/nickneumann

The guitars are ready to start recording some new music to follow up the "Our Time Starts Now" EP! Getting the "studio" setup so there are no excuses not to record! If you like music inspired by 90s/00s Punk and Alt Rock, you might enjoy what I'm cooking up!

HOLY $#!T. I made the charts! My punk track, "Our Time Starts Now," just hit #63 in the USA and #147 Global for Rock/Punk on Groover. Crank up the song and listen to the rest of the EP! 🎧 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/... #OurTimeStartsNow #PunkRock #SoloArtist #IndieMusic #groover

Our Time Starts Now EP is out now! It's a collection of songs I’ve made over the past couple of years while finding my way back into music. youtube.com/shorts/Mc5BF... Stream Now: hyperfollow.com/nickneumann #OurTimeStartsNow #newmusic #punkrock #altrock #indierock

The Truth About Satin Finish Guitars #guitar #guitartips #guitarist youtube.com/shorts/GswJA...

We need to talk… Guitar Talk! The 2003–2009 Fender Showmaster is one of the most underrated Fender guitars ever. It has a set-neck, carved top, HH pickups. Think Fender feel with Gibson inspired specs. Take a closer look! #FenderShowmaster #FenderGuitars #GuitarTalk #Gibson youtu.be/LxPzGTXevnw

The Fender Showmaster is such an underrated guitar. It wasn't Fender enough for Fender players and wasn't Metal enough for the Metal players they were trying to market too. I personally think they are a great middle ground! youtube.com/shorts/akN3s... #guitar #fender #guitarist #showmaster

New Guitar Day! ESP E-II Eclipse Snow White Satin! This thing rocks! Very happy with my choice. 🎸 #guitar #rock #music #espguitar #newguitar #ngd

Nintendo Switch 2 delayed in America? Now it's time we've all been waiting for... GAMERS RISE UP!

With guitar prices about to skyrocket due to tariffs, this is likely my last purchase for a while. So, I went all out! Picked up an ESP E-II Eclipse in Satin White. It's seriously inspiring to make music. Whether it's rock, punk, or anything else, this thing shreds. Now, only if I could...

Time flies when you're making music and rocking out! It's already been a year with my ESP LTD SN-1000HT Fire Blast. If you're looking for a guitar review to kill some time, check out my long-term thoughts here: nickneumann.band/esp-ltd-sn-1...

How deeply flawed does someone have to be to try to destroy the American government and economy, cry on TV about being disliked while calling empathy a weakness, then sell their shitty cars on the White House lawn, and illegally manipulate their stock? It's truly pathetic. Good job, champ.

My New Song, Getaway is out NOW! If you like Emo Rock music then you might like this, or maybe you'll just cry instead. Check it out and let me know what you think: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/...

Unfortunately life takes up a lot of time and I don't get as much time to work on music as I would like. However, new song demo - "Getaway"! It's rough around the edges, but I'm excited to share it and get your feedback. Check it out! youtu.be/5jo_-K_U6no

Instead of telling people what sucks, tell people about what you love. It will be a better use of both your time. Being negative is too exhausting. Unless you're telling me why you love socks and sandals...because seriously, what's up with that?

Want a Gibson Les Paul but don't want to give up lattes and avocado toast? Then check out the ESP LTD EC-1000T CTM guitar as an alternative. You can still rock out and make great music without the hefty price tag. Remember the music is in you! Check out my overview and review! youtu.be/aO7jsodvX7o

Happy New Year! Starting off 2025 with a video review of the Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy. Great guitar, but some QC issues... Is it worth the $899-$1199 price tag? youtu.be/m8uq0u2gP28 #epiphone #lespaul #gibson #prophecy #review #music #bsky

I regret giving up the guitar. I Picked it back up a couple years ago and started making music. Still learning, but improving with each song. Seeing a pic of me with my first guitar really brought it all back and reminded me of the first song I ever wrote. youtu.be/90wibOJm9iU #fender #poppunk

NGD! Epiphone Les Paul Prophecy Aged Black Gloss! Overall a pretty solid guitar if you can get it for the right price. Seems to be a lot of quality and build issues. Read my full review here. nickneumann.band/my-epiphone-... #epiphone #rock #lespaul #guitar #guitarreview #newguitar #gibson

They always said I was destined for punk rock greatness... (RIP, Grandma). But some people think I'm a poser. 🤷‍♂️ Judge for yourself! Here's a raw demo of a new song - just me and my guitar. Let me know what you think! #punkrock #rock #demo #crappyrecording www.youtube.com/watch?v=wIhs...

Just a bunch of counselors hanging out, can you spot the new guy? #fridaythe13th #jason #horror #campcrystallake #jasonvoorhees

To Follow up on Vivek Ramaswamy Tweet. A billionaire approached me today and handed me a bag of cash. They said, "I know I'm going to have to give up my profits so the working class can have a good life. It's the right thing to do." Welp, guess that makes two things that never happened.

Can’t wait to see 28 Years Later! 28 Days Later and 28 Weeks Later had some of my favorite zombie movie openers. Throw in some Cillian Murphy and you're gonna have a good time. Who else is excited for this one? #28YearsLater #ZombieMovies #horror

I take the Tom DeLonge approach to making music. I have my tool (guitar) and I just want to get my songs out into the world. I may not be the most technical guitarist or the best vocalist, but I'm trying to make music that resonates with people, and bring a little joy to their day. #poppunk #guitar

One year ago, after years of regret, I finally started a YouTube channel to make music. 🤘Didn't hit all my goals, but I'm proud of the songs & videos I created. Still learning, still growing, still going for it! Here's to another year! #music #DIY #oneyearanniversary #punkrock youtu.be/7SyqrjpKC_o

Whoa! 🤯 Somehow never heard this before "Tenacious D & Sum 41 "Things I Want"!  Thanks to Steveo32's (former drummer of Sum 41, current drummer in his basement) YouTube channel. Instant Christmas classic! www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJdB... #steveo32 #sum41 #christmasmusic #TenaciousD #JackBlack

Ah, the memories! I remember when I worked retail on Black Friday. Nothing says 'Merica like being trampled at Walmart for a cheap TV! 🇺🇲 #BlackFriday #Walmart #consumerism #doorbusters #capitalism

Name this 1985 punk band, I think they were going to their final gig... #horror #livingdead #classic #movie

On a lighter note. Tony Hawk's Pro Skater never taught me how to skate, but it did give me a lifelong love for punk rock. The soundtrack to those games still inspires me to this day. #punkrock #thps #soundtrack

If you live in America and a non-American billionaire tells us that America is going to have to suffer "hardships" and the economy is going to crash, while they won't suffer any hardships and get richer, it doesn't really sit well with me. And it shouldn't with you either.

In today's world where reality is crazier than fiction, let me paraphrase one of my favorite things on the internet. Are the Matrix movies supposed to make me scared about living in a fake reality trapped forever in 1999? Shit, frost my tips and log me in. #frostmytips #simulation #Nostalgia #90s

In some communities, some try to gatekeep those who don't fit their mold. Don't let them stop you. Whether you're a fan, embrace the ideals, or are on the front lines, you belong. Find your people, ignore the "rules," and be YOU. #beyourself #community #punk

Some claim to be punk and preach "no fucks given," but clutch pearls and resort to name calling when their worldview is challenged. That's not very punk rock. Don't let hypocrites define you. Question everything. Stay loud, stay true. #punkrock #noapologies

Don't be afraid of conversation. If you post a joke online, be prepared for some people not to laugh. Dismissing their opinions with "scroll past", "move on", or similar phrases makes you seem closed-minded. This isn't Twitter, folks. Let's embrace open dialogue #onlinedebate #openminds #humor #bsky
