SLASH'S NEW AMP
The world exclusive review and a video demo of the Marshall Slash Signature AFD100 head that recreates the classic tone of Guns N' Roses' Appetite For Destruction. Find out why our jaws dropped.
ERIC GALES
Our blues player of 2010 talks about his long road to get here. Gales' new album Relentless showcases an exceptional player - one who's found redemption as a musician after incarceration and substance issues. A dazzling soulful technician but this left-handed player wth upside-down guitar is certainly no Hendrix clone.
ROCK MACHINES
A Charvel for just £727? The new Pro Mod So-Cal Style 1 is no joke. Schecter's new humbucking PT
Fastback is also a landmark guitar punching well above it's £599 weight.
NELS CLINE
Wilco's Jazzmasterer talks about his remarkable new double solo album.
KENNY WAYNE SHEPHERD
The blues-rock Strat fanatic explores traditional blues for his first live album. He tells all about that plus Fenders and fast cars with us.
FENDER

ADAM DUTKIEWICZ
The Killswitch Engage man wrote a whole album from his hospital bed when facing a potentially career-ending back injury. Adam tells how this dark time led to a whole new prjoect and album - his finest metal for years with Times Of Grace.
