July 21 marks the release of our 4th installment of the Fresh Cuts compilation CD series. This time we’ve teamed up with legendary alt rock band, Weezer, who chose which songs made it on to the CD and appear on the CD via their previously unreleased tune, “Everybody Go Away.”
Guitar Center employees across the nation were able to submit one song for consideration through the GAIN Program. A limited run of 50,000 CDs have been pressed and are available for FREE at all Guitar Center locations while supplies last.
Congratulations to the GAIN artists whose songs were chosen to appear on Fresh Cuts Volume 4.

A bit about GAIN:
The GAIN Program was launched in March 2007 to help Guitar Center team members achieve their musical aspirations. At the heart of GAIN is an extensive private social network where Guitar Center, Inc. employees can post music, pictures, blogs and online discussions, in order to share with and learn from each other. In addition, GAIN presents a number of other benefits, deals, offers and opportunities to its participants, including partnerships with a number of vendors, services and institutions (music-related and non-music related alike). The GAIN program continues to build relationships with companies, organizations and individuals who can provide exposure, insight, tools and opportunity to the musicians who work for Guitar Center.
