The ESP Guitar Company

ESP ALL ACCESS COMMUNITY MEMBER SPOTLIGHT! What inspires you to musical greatness? Inspiration can come in many forms, and from many directions. Hearing a new band whose sound you like is often helpful. Sometimes inspiration comes from nature, or from your relationships with other people. Sometimes it comes from a new guitar -- that's our favorite way. But in the case of All Access community member Darren Stroud, inspiration to rock can come from... a new ESP t-shirt. That's right. Darren just got himself a new ESP Black Metal t-shirt. As soon as he put it on, his playing skills increased by a factor of a thousand and he immediately cranked out this monster jam. Okay, that's not completely true, but Darren did look good and feel comfortable while playing his LTD EC-256, and that might have pushed him closer to doing his best work. You never know. You can hear more of Darren and his band PowerTribe at their official web site.

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.
