"Everybody was going crazy about Yngwie Malmsteen. Joe Satriani told me, ‘Don’t get too into him.'" Alex Skolnick's top five tips to becoming a better guitarist (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In terms of versatility, few guitarists have anything on Alex Skolnick. When he’s not slaying audiences with blitzing riffs and solos with thrash-metal titans Testament, he’s blending bebop and rock with his own jazz group, the Alex Skolnick Trio. Clearly, he’s learned a thing or two about what to play and when, but as Skolnick points out, his evolution on the electric guitar is ongoing. “I’ve constantly got my ear out for good tips, and I’m always trying to improve my playing,” he reveals. “I n

“I sent him a postcard: ‘You gotta get out of Winnipeg.’ So he went to Thunder Bay, met Stephen Stills and started Buffalo Springfield.” Randy Bachman on sharing guitars and amps with Neil Young as rock and roll upstarts (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When Randy Bachman learned in early 2025 that a bridge in Winnipeg was being renamed the Bachman-Turner Overpass, he knew it was time to resurrect a song he’d written — but never recorded — dedicated to his hometown. He duly regrouped with retired Bachman-Turner Overdrive vocalist Fred Turner to cut the tune. He even invited along an old friend from his time in the Canadian city. “I went, ‘Wow, that’s incredible!
