Live Long, Play More Guitar!
by Trent Salter
The older I become, the more I realize that truly, life is short, so it’s important to invest it with those you love and what you love
One thing in my life that has become incredibly sacred to me is the time I am desperately trying to allocate to simply making music. The older I become, the more I realize that truly, life is short, so it’s important to invest it with those you love and what you love. Maybe it’s somewhat of a lifelong musician’s twisted sense of mortality or perhaps a sobering realization that playing guitar and creating music will add years to your life expectancy.
For me, playing guitar and creating music fulfills my spirit and soul like no other form of therapeutic rejuvenation. It’s the reason why I consider myself fortunate at age 44 to be performing 40+ shows per year, for it keeps Trent a happy dude – it keeps my radiator hot. It also allows me to test drive my share of cool gear, which inspires me in the relentless pursuit of tone, for I – much like you – am constantly on this journey. Few things in life are as enjoyable to me as drinking beer and chasing tone. The entire staff here at Premier Guitar are beer drinkers and tone chasers … that’s how we roll! They are the most deranged tone freaks you will find anywhere; look for our upcoming episode of Jerry Springer, “Tone Freaks and the Women Who Love Them!”

Your magazine is fantastic...a gearheads dream. I never even knew how many small guitar builders there were out there. You do a great job keeping both inexpensive and boutique reviews fair and informative. The only thing I would ask for is more information-for example, the review (online) of the Engl Powerball was great, but how much does it cost? Also, for the web version, please include bigger pictures-it's hard to see most of the pics as they are too small.
I love the diversity-gear reviews, interviews, show reviews-you guys cover it all!!
You are doing a great job-keep it up!
