Why Yungblud has been giving away his Epiphone signature guitars | Guitar World

BLUDFEST 2025 was already a fever dream of lights, sweat, and unrelenting energy, but the night’s defining moment came completely unscripted. Halfway through his set, YUNGBLUD slammed to a halt, smirking at the sea of faces before him. Then he leaned into the mic and shouted the now-legendary question:

“Who the fck can play guitar?”*

The response was instantaneous — the crowd roared, hundreds of hands shot into the air, and for a heartbeat, the entire festival was holding its breath. YUNGBLUD’s gaze locked on a young woman pressed against the barrier, her eyes huge with a mix of disbelief and adrenaline. She mouthed “I can” before security was waving her forward.

The moment her sneakers hit the stage, the energy shifted. YUNGBLUD slung his electric guitar into her hands and whispered something in her ear — whatever it was, it made her laugh and nod without hesitation.

Then, with a cheeky grin to the crowd, he yelled, “Alright then… Fleabag!”

The first chord rang out like a spark to dry grass. The two of them launched into a furious, chaotic, and utterly intoxicating performance — riffs colliding, vocals crashing, crowd screaming in disbelief. They moved like they’d been in a band together for years, stealing glances, shouting the lyrics into the same mic, jumping in sync with the beat.

Phones lit the air like a thousand tiny spotlights as the audience realized they were watching something completely unrepeatable. By the second chorus, the fan was shredding like she owned the stage, and YUNGBLUD was egging her on, yelling over the music: “C’mon! Louder!” The crowd obliged, singing until their voices cracked.

The final chord crashed, YUNGBLUD and his surprise guitarist raising their arms together in triumph. But instead of taking his guitar back, YUNGBLUD simply unhooked the strap, pressed the instrument into her arms, and said — loud enough for the mic to catch — “It’s yours now.”

This is my guitar. I'm absolutely buzzing”: Epiphone is set to release a Yungblud signature SG Junior – and one of its prototypes is already up for grabs | Guitar World

The fan froze, shaking, tears streaking her face as the realization hit her. The same guitar that had just set BLUDFEST on fire was now hers to keep. The crowd’s cheer turned into a deafening roar, the kind that makes your chest vibrate.

As security guided her back down, still clutching the guitar like treasure, YUNGBLUD grinned out at the audience. “That’s what music’s about, innit?” he said. “You never know when it’s your turn.”

BLUDFEST promised unforgettable moments. YUNGBLUD gave them a story that will be told for the rest of their lives.

On this day in 2016, rock legend Jimmy Page walked into a courtroom—not with a guitar slung over his shoulder, but with a $79 million lawsuit hanging over his head. The iconic opening riff of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” was under fire. Michael Skidmore, speaking for late Spirit guitarist Randy Wolfe, claimed Page and Robert Plant stole the riff from Spirit’s 1968 song “Taurus.” Page took the stand, calm but firm, swearing he’d never even heard the track until the internet lit up with accusations. Then, like a scene out of a movie, he picked up a guitar in front of the judge and jury, played the legendary riff—and proved his case. Led Zeppelin walked out with their legacy intact.
