We get quite a few albums and DVDs sent to the Guitarist office over the course of a single issue. Not as many as we´d like for sure, but certainly more than enough to get our juices flowing.
However, for every exclusive download of the latest huge release (Queen, Acca Dacca, Food Fighters and Metallibums to name just some recent ones) we get a chance to cock an ear to releases we´d normally never listen to as civilians.

‘Tziganopompemusetoswingdebilacoustivomusic´
Rii-ght-oh...!

"It may have bothered him that people didn’t recognise his guitar virtuosity, which might be why the song devotes so much space to his shredding": A music professor breaks down the theory behind Prince's When Doves Cry
“It didn’t even represent what we were doing. Even the guitar solo has no business being in that song”: Gwen Stefani on the No Doubt song that “changed everything” after it became their biggest hit
