Epiphone Les PaulEpiphone guitars are inspired by Gibson and made for guitarists of all abilities. I believe the world needs more guitarists, and Epiphone is making that happen by creating high quality musical instruments available at your local Best Buy at great prices. In fact, order it online—you’ll be very happy with the guitar and be learning to play your favourite songs in no time. On the blog we’ve been testing some of these guitars, and now you can enter for a chance to win one.

Do you have a guitar player in your family?

There are too few guitarists on this planet. The recent passing of the legendary Eddie Van Halen made me wonder if we are replacing guitarists fast enough. How many people in your family play guitar? My answer … not enough! This should be the age when everyone you know can play. After all, great quality instruments have never been more accessible or affordable. Holiday season is approaching and Best Buy has a huge selection online that you should really consider when creating your gift list.

And great quality instruction is readily available too. You’ve probably heard that many of the great players, like Eddie who I just mentioned, never had a formal guitar lesson. He would have likely learned a lot faster if he had the one tool that all guitarists use now … the Internet. Or you might already know a guitarist who can provide some initial lessons. I taught both my children to play guitar, and the first guitar I bought for them was an Epiphone.

Mama let that boy play some rock and roll

The 3 Epiphone Les Paul Special I prizes for this contest will enable you to play lots of musical styles, including heart-pounding rock and roll. We sent the prizes for this contest to Nikolai so he could test them out and give you an honest review. Read his article and watch his video and you’ll see that these are serious instruments that any guitarist would love.

As you saw in the video, these guitars can rock with a great tone and easy playability. If you like what you see, you should enter for a chance to win one of these guitars.

  1. I play Piano and clarinet, but have attempted a few songs on guitar. I would love to win this and I think I could learn to play on my own with a little on line help This is a real versatile guitar, and I know lots of musicians who take this guitar on the road, because it is so durable. My dad had a Les Paul Gibson, and he loved that guitar!!

  2. My husband Adam should learn to play…I know he wants to learn “Dee” by Randy Rhoads but I personally love “Hotel California” by The Eagles. Always hard to find beautiful guitars for both us lefties.

  3. Anamaria would love to learn Everybody Hurts by REM because the song comforts us when we suffer because we realize that we are not alone or unique but have lots of company.

  4. I’d love to learn how to play Sweet Child O’ Mine on guitar. I use to play that song so many times on guitar hero 🙂

  5. I would love to have this guitar for my son who is growing up. He watches me play and it would be nice to have his own guitar as he grows older.

  7. I would love to learn to play the guitar. My son plays and my boyfriend is a professional musician so it would be nice to be a part of that. I would love to learn Yesterday by the Beatles.

  8. The person in my family that needs to learn to play the guitar the most is probably my sister and the song she should learn how to play first should be Leather Jacket by The Arkells. Thank you so much for this amazing contest! I hope I win!

  9. My brother Aaron definitely needs to win. He is a great pianist, but always wanted to learn guitar (our parents kind of forced him down that piano route). He loves the piano now, but I’d love to have him win one of these beauts so he can finally get into guitar like he’s always wanted to!

  10. When my grandkids ask me what I did during the pandemic I want to say I learned to rock out. First song will be AC/DC Let There be Rock!!!

  12. I’m currently looking for a guitar for my daughter birthday ! She show some interest to learn how to play and is trying to learn knocking on heaven’s door gun’s and roses version . Would be a perfect fit for her because the instrument I let her play on right now is an accounting guitar and it’s a little big for her.

  13. I would like to learn how to play the guitar!

    I would really love to learn how to play Cliffs Of Dover by Eric Johnson.

  19. I’d love both my kids to pick up a guitar. I wish I was as focused as they are when I was younger. My 12 year old daughter would excel with one, she does with everything.

  20. Me! I used to play guitar and would love to take it up again. The recent death of Johnny Nash reminded me that one of my favourite songs to play was “I Can See Clearly Now”. It is definitely at the top of my list of songs to re-learn.

  21. My mom’s dream has always been to play the drums. When she was 11, she asked for the drums but instead she got a keyboard. Later on in life, my dad gave her drums! Finaly she was able to complete her dream, but then she had me. The drums ended up going into my grandma’s house and after years of no use, we decided to move to Canada. My Mom had to sell them. Two years after we moved she wants something she can carry with her and as cool. She decided to play the Guitar. If she got the guitar she would be playing many L7 songs as it was her dream as a teenager, but now she will re-imagine herself as a Guitar Player.

  23. I’m about to start how to play the guitar. Im a begginer and feeling really excited about it cause music is something I really love, and I really want to be able to experience it in yet another way.
