Is Metallica Not Hardwired…To Self-Destruct? This new Metallica album is great! There is no other way to put it but just flat out say that it is a great album. It is the best thing that the band has released in literally 20 years. This album is tight and the band is playing better than…
Stevie Ray Vaughan – December 2016 Digital Guitar Player would like to crown the one and only Stevie Ray Vaughan the December 2016 guitar player of the month.

The review of Yngwie Malmsteen Inspiration. On October 14, 1996 Yngwie Malmsteen released one of his most mind blowing recordings.

Based on how many Deep Purple and Rainbow songs are on the album it…

Last summer I had the pleasure of attending a George Lynch (Lynch Mob) concert in New Jersey where I got to see an incredible opening act. The opening act was the Steve Bello Band led by 7 string guitar wizard Steve Bello our January 2016 guitar player of the month. Steve Bello hails from northern…
It was a semi-rainy Sunday afternoon in beautiful Asbury Park, NJ. The beach was quiet and you would never think that there would be such rock ‘n’ roll greatness under one roof. Well the truth is that rock drum great Brian Tichy (who also plays a mean guitar) and rock radio legend Joe Sutton have…
As I write this blog I am listening to The Purple Album by Whitesnake for the 50th time (or more). It is difficult to put into words how I feel about this album because it just makes my days better and better. I can recall being introduced to Deep Purple at a young age by…
