Cover feature: Gretsch Streamliner
Inside you'll find the full story and review behind the amazingly affordable new Gretsch Streamliner series, tips for setting up a Bigsby, plus some Gretsch inspired Rock 'n' Roll/Rockabilly/Psychobilly licks to learn!
Tunes
We've tabbed Michael Jackson 'Beat It' in full (including THAT solo!), Jamie Lawson's mammoth hit 'Wasn't Expecting That', plus video lessons for three classic David Bowie riffs, and Megadeth's 'The Threat Is Real'. As always, you can find studio-quality backing tracks for these songs on your free TG CD.
Interviews
On top of all that, we've got interviews with Dream Theater's John Petrucci, The Maccabees' Hugo White talks recording guitars and we sit down with Mark Tremonti and Wearing Scars for a melodic metal Round Table.
Gear
We bring you the latest gear from Gretsch, Fender, Catalinbread, Boss and loads more, plus we've picked our highlights from the NAMM show!
