The ESP Guitar Company

ESP ALL ACCESS COMMUNITY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! This isn't the first time we've showcased the playing of ESP All Access community member Darren Stroud, and it likely won't be the last. In this video submission, Darren is using his LTD EC-256 and and LTD B-55 bass to do all nine minutes and fifty-one seconds of Rush's "La Villa Strangiato", one of the most beloved and challenging prog rock instrumental masterpieces ever created. If the drums sound familiar, that's because Darren is playing along with the isolated tracks from the late and great Neil Peart. Note that while Darren's choices in instruments represent some of the most affordable in our offerings, he still gets great tones, and his performance skill is undeniably excellent. Darren plays in Colorado-based metal band PowerTribe... check out their web site for music and more.

If you're doing cool music with your ESP, ESP E-II, or LTD guitar or bass, upload a video to the ESP site and we might select you as the next ESP All Access Community Member to feature on our front page where thousands of other players can check you out! Get the details here.
