"Croation picker Miholcic relies on this 1998 Fender Custom Shop Strat, serial #15, built by Herbie Gastelum. Miholcic says, ""It features a one-piece birdseye maple neck, alder body with quilt maple top, and excellent Floyd Rose Tremolo. It looks, and most importantly, sounds amazing. Texas sound in one guitar!"""

Trey Anastasio on Dumbles, Broadway, and 40-Plus Years of Phish

Imagine being in a band with your best friends for over 40 years, and each night you step on stage you get to play one more show. That’s exactly what guitarist Trey Anastasio and his bandmates in Phish think about right before every sold-out arena or amphitheater show. “We're all hyper aware now, every night,” mentions Anastasio. “I mean, we just love it so much. It's like, I can't wait for the tour to start.” Anastasio’s energy and passion is infectious, even when he isn’t talking about music. Bring up hockey, 6L6-based amps, or even his generationally deep Iowa roots and watch as his eyebrows raise.

Tracing the History of Guitar Tab, From Seeger to Steve Vai

Tracing the History of Guitar Tab, From Seeger to Steve Vai

The author’s original Improvising Blues Guitar book.

Back in October of 1971, I bought my first guitar. It was the day after I had attended a concert by Captain Beefheart and the Magic Band. Elliot Ingber (aka Winged Eel Fingerling) had improvised a life-changing (for me) guitar solo at that show, which sent me to a guitar store to purchase a black Fender Telecaster. While there, I saw a book on the counter next to the cash register: Improvising Blues Guitar, by the staff of Green Note Publications. It contained tab transcriptions of electric solos by many of my favorite guitarists at the time: B.B. King, Jerry Garcia, Jimi Hendrix, Albert King, etc. I took the book and guitar back to my college dorm room.
