This 1958 Gretsch Streamliner is a Hurricane Sandy survivor. Robinson purchased the guitar at 30th St. Guitars in NYC and thankfully Steve Stern at Gretsch was able to rescue it and bring it back to life. This guitar is used on more feedback-laden tunes such as "Feathers" and "Good Morning Captain."

Remembering Tony Rice: 8 Iconic Licks from the Master Guitarist

Remembering Tony Rice: 8 Iconic Licks from the Master Guitarist
By Jordan Klein from San Francisco, United States

In December of last year, Tony Rice passed away. He was/is my all-time favorite guitarist. Like many of his fans, my love of his playing has likely transcended obsession. In fact, at the time of writing this, I have transcribed over 100 Tony Rice solos. That puts me in a unique position to share with you not only my favorite Tony Rice licks but what I think might be Rice's favorite licks, if the frequency with which he played them is any indication.

Deftones' Stephen Carpenter Rig Rundown

Deftones' Stephen Carpenter Rig Rundown

California metal giants Deftones returned this year with Private Music, their first album in five years. In support of it, they ripped across North America on a string of headline shows and support slots with System of a Down.

We linked with Deftones guitarist Stef Carpenter for a Rig Rundown back in 2013, but a lot has changed since then (and as Carpenter reveals in this new interview, he basically disowns that 2013 rig). Back in August, PG’s Chris Kies caught up with Carpenter again ahead of the band’s gig in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, where the guitarist gave us an all-access walkthrough of his current road rig.

System of a Down's Daron Malakian Rig Rundown

The metal giants return to the stage with a show powered by gold-and-black axes and pure tube power.

Except for two new singles in 2020, alt-metal icons System of a Down haven’t released new music in 20 years. But luckily for their fans, System—vocalist Serj Tankian, guitarist/vocalist Daron Malakian, bassist Shavo Odadjian, and drummer John Dolmayan—took their catalog of era-defining, genre-changing hard-rock haymakers on tour this year across South and North America.
