    “Duane came onstage. It was hard to see, so I tried to help him with the amp. He looked at me and said, ‘Man, I think I know how to run an amp by now!’” Dickey Betts and Duane Allman’s rocky first jam (opens the original)

    Last month, we asked Guitar World readers to name the best guitar duo of all time. It didn’t come as a massive surprise to see the Allman Brothers Band’s original six-string tandem of Duane Allman and Dickey Betts come up over and over again. In the all-too-short time between the band’s formation in 1969 and 1971, when the Allman’s life was cut tragically short in a motorcycle accident, the pair left an indelible mark on rock guitar. The two both had an incredibly melodic touch – with Allman alw

    “The first thing he said to me was, ‘You’re in the band, but you gotta get a new guitar. You can’t play that SG’”: Neil Giraldo on how a push from Rick Derringer led him to the B.C. Rich Eagle (opens the original)

    Before he met his partner-in-crime in both music and life, Pat Benatar, Neil Giraldo cut his teeth in late rocker Rick Derringer’s band. It was no trivial job, he beat 200 other guitarists to get the gig – not to mention Derringer’s own (very) formidable six-string skills. Derringer had full confidence in Giraldo, though – but he did have one condition for the young guitarist. “In 1977, I joined Rick Derringer’s band and I was playing a red Gibson SG,” Giraldo told Guitar World in a 2013 intervi

    What do you want from the future of guitars? (opens the original)

    Innovation Week: In a recent interview with Guitar World, Ernie Ball’s Director of Engineering and Product Development, Drew Montell, said with a laugh, “Most people hate our best-selling guitars right out of the gate.” The two defining electric guitars were both designed in the early 1950s. We pore over minute variations on the templates, but their inner workings have – to be honest – not changed all that much. Full disclaimer, if I’m coming across as a bit high and mighty, the designs of the t

    More people are visiting Guitar Center, but have its stores improved? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In this little world of ours, Guitar Center looms incredibly large. It’s the biggest in-person guitar retail location by a country mile; the only guitar store with enough name recognition to be the punchline of a viral bit by one of America’s biggest comedians (it stung a little, we won’t lie). But it hasn’t just been a punching bag for Bill Burr. I mean, I don’t have to get into it, do I? If you or a guitarist in your life has been to a Guitar Center in the past, odds are there was something fo

    Dolly Parton, the inimitable country singer/songwriter who rose from humble beginnings to become a chart-topper and cultural icon, has died at 80, her family says.
