Here is the part with the Duane interviews: The interviews with Duane Allman were excerpts from radio interviews he did while the band was on tour in 1969 and 1971. He’s interesting, but definitely comes across as a “hippie”. One thing that is important to remember is that Duane died when he...

As usual, my monthly blog post about the Guitar Player magazine from exactly 30 years ago has some cool excerpts and take-aways from the magazine. Besides good interviews with Jeff Healey and John Entwistle, the section on the Allman Brothers Dreams compilation was interesting, especially...

Thanks everyone--I'm glad you liked it.

How so, Eddie?

I saw this when working on my blog post and thought I'd show the forum here. I know many of you have been to the factory over the years--do you recognize any of the workers pictured? Does it seem similar to the factory today...

Every month I re-read the Guitar Player magazine from exactly 30 years ago for my blog. Looking at the June, 1989 issue I was struck by the editorial which seemed to bemoan the trade imbalance on guitars. ****************** The opening editorial from publisher Jim Crockett was titled “The...

You're welcome! Thanks for reading, Eddie.

I have a new blog post in my "Thirty Years Ago" series. This time I re-read the April, 1989 issue of Guitar Player and it was really good! I was particularly struck by interviews with Robert Johnson's friend and fellow bluesman Johnny Shines, by a look at Paganini's love for the guitar, and by...

http://www.ethanlewis.org/icarus/2019/03/17/my-back-pages-thirty-years-ago-in-guitar-player-march-1989/ In this month's "30 Years Ago", I focus on the Guitar Player magazine article from 30 years ago about Danny Gatton "the greatest unknown guitar player". It's a very interesting piece by Dan...

As I was re-reading the Guitar Player magazine from February 1989, I was struck by some cool tips about improvisation from Sonny Sharrock and Mick Goodrick, and really enjoyed an interview with Buck Owens. Relevant to PRS forums is when Buck Owens was talking about the red-white-and-blue...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone, and I'm glad you liked it!

Funny, JXE! This was the third month in a row where jazz guitarist Howard Morgen penned increasingly sophisticated articles about playing jazz progressions. They are super hard, and I still don't understand them 30 years later. I guess after all that time they figured they could use the minimum...

Here's my new blog post about the September 1988 Guitar Player magazine write up: https://icarusanybody.blogspot.com/2018/10/my-back-pages-thirty-years-ago-in.html Good stuff on Jeff Healey, Hiram Bullock, Robben Ford and more. Also cool, all three of the up and comers in the "Spotlight"...

The August 1988 Guitar Player magazine featured an interview with Eric Clapton ruminating on his Crossroads box set and his new signature model guitar; a very good interview with Fred Newell who was the guitarist on cable's The Nashville Network's "Nashville Now" tv show. Also, some interesting...

Hi: I've got a new post on my blog, looking at the Guitar Player Magazine issue from 30 years ago. Jerry Garcia was on the cover and there was a lengthy review of the "Crossroads" box set of Eric Clapton's music. Additionally, I have some thoughts about the health then and now of the guitar...
