With or without the slide that made him a household sound in the ’90s Rick Vito’s playing has graced projects by John Mayall, Bonnie Raitt, Roger McGuinn, Boz Scaggs, John Prine, Roy Orbison, Peter Frampton, Jackson Browne, and others. We ask him all about his new album, Slidemaster.
Alongside the stacks and big combos made for clubs and concert halls, most amp manufacturers in the ’60s made student amps. Dave Hunter tells us why the Marshall Capri is one of the cutest.
As up-and-coming players/collectors in the ’70s, brothers Greg and Bob Tekippe remember a friend telling them about old Les Pauls with humbuckers. Soon, they each had a ’Burst of their own... until they didn’t. Our “Classics” profile tells the story.
Strike a chord on Leo Fender’s first solidbody, and there’s nowhere to hide. Direct, unadorned, and uncompromising, players prize its simplicity while producers respect the way it cuts through the mix with authority. Our “Timeless Tones” series continues with a look at how the Telecaster remains vital in modern music.
After the doors closed at Mosrite, Semie Moseley barely took a breath before jumping back into the guitar game. The short-lived instruments bearing his name fill a niche that remains fascinating to collectors. We tell the story of Moseley guitars.
At this year’s Nashville Guitar Show, the Amigos honored George Gruhn, and we were there.
Stopping by the talk new music are Samantha Fish, Sean McDonald, Chris Poland, Murali Coryell, John Pizzarelli, and Mateus Asato.
Wolf Marshall offers a requiem for two giants of the rhythm guitar – Steve Cropper and Bob Weier.
In “Hit List,” our crack review staff discuss the latest music from Tedeschi Trucks Band, Soft Machine, Joel Hoekstra, Samantha Fish, Gabor Szabo, and many other artists.
Of course you want maximum bang for the buck when buying new gear. Our knowledgable, objective “Approved Gear” crew is here to help. This month, we examine the Fender 75th Anniversary American Ultra II Telecaster, Gizmoaudio Sweet Breakup, Bad Cat Mod Shop Hot Cat 50, Kiesel Mark 66, and the Trace Acoustic Clarity.
It’s all in the June issue!
