At this point, Nashville heavy hitters All Them Witches are friends of the show. They’ve had their rigs rundown twice before, but like they say, the third time’s the charm.

Rig Rundown: George Thorogood and the Destroyers

George Thorogood and the Destroyers have been burning the world up with their blues- and boogie-rock for more than half a century, and before their February gig at Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry, our Rig Rundown crew met up with Thorogood, tech Rev Jones, and veteran Destroyer Jim Suhler at PRG Nashville for a look at how they cook up their kick-ass riffage onstage these days. PG’s John Bohlinger takes you through all the details in our video, but have a look at some essential pieces of the pie below.

Blueprints: John Mayer's Tonal Foundation

John Mayer's guitar tone is instantly recognizable. Nearly three decades in, it remains one of the most studied and chased sounds in electric guitar. In Blueprints: John Mayer, Tom Butwin breaks it down to its core tenets. It starts with the signature PRS Silver Sky, runs through an iconic stacked chain of vintage overdrive circuits (with help from our friends @KeeleyElectronicsEdmond) and lands on spring reverb. The building blocks are approachable. The results speak for themselves.

Why You Can't Force Guitar Playing with Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes

Why You Can't Force Guitar Playing with Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes

It's no slag to pin Rich Robinson as a rhythm-guitar master. He actually prefers that lane of rock. His musical heartbeat pulses on complex chord changes and moving, harmonious melodies that you can hum. If big brother and Black Crowes' lead singer Chris Robinson is the driver, Rich is the rumbling Hemi motor. It's not always been easy, and it's not always been pretty, but the duo has rock and rolled for 36 years producing 11 groovy albums including their brand-new release, A Pound of Feathers.

Leading up to the record's release Rich sat down with host John Bohlinger to speak on several topics: riding the band's meteoric rise in 1990, dealing with their unimaginable success as a teenager, explaining why he never forces creativity or guitar playing, sharing the reasons he regularly relies on open tunings, reminiscing being shaped and inspired by the Atlanta music scene (including bands like R.E.M. & the B-52s), and trying to remain true, honest, and pure to their simpatico sibling songwriting approach.
