Quintessential Rock Rigs by Decade
A comprehensive look at the guitars, amps, and effects that defined rock movements from the 1950s to today.

Joe Satriani: "Don't Even Think About It!"
The 6-string giant talks inspiration, stage fright, the joy of reverb, Hendrix, guitars (of course!), practicing, his new album What Happens Next—and the Knights Who Say "Ni."

The Environmentally Conscious Guitarist
Sorry Kermit, it is easy being green. From recycling and repurposing old gear, to the larger movement for harvesting sustainable woods, we explore ways players can soften their impact on the natural world.

Dhani Harrison's Big Score
What does a Beatle's son do after composing for movies and TV, performing and recording with rock 'n' roll royalty, and honoring his father George Harrison's legacy? He makes a solo album: the guitar-fueled, sonically expansive In Parallel.

Chelsea Wolfe: Like a Ghost Over a Battlefield
Making the radical noise and gorgeous melodies for the supernatural sound of her new album, Hiss Spun, required Gibsons, Fenders, gnarly pedals, guest Troy Van Leeuwen, and a tip from Carl Sagan.

Victor Wooten: Speak Your Voice
The bass virtuoso expounds on the magic of improvisation, finding music in the world around us, and recording his latest album, Trypnotyx, with the help of pitch-shifting pedals, MIDI gear, and an eclectic crew of musicians.

Pat Martino: A Beautiful Mind
Jazz guitar's resident shaman pulls back the curtain on his latest album, Formidable, and his complicated—yet inspiring—relationship with his instrument.

Bruce Cockburn: Just Wait and See
After a 7-year hiatus, the master fingerpicker and storyteller returns with Bone on Bone, an album that artfully blends Delta blues, modal jazz, and world music with edgy commentaries on modern life.
