By the age of 24, he had firmly established himself as an accomplished session player in his home country. Since his arrival in New York in 1996, Noy has performed, toured and recorded with the likes of Richard Bona, Chris Botti, Phoebe Snow, and Gavin... This...

Michael Olatjua is a new name to me, but is a very fresh musical talent out of good old London Town bringing together many names of the great and the good to offer us an album of sassy, jazzy and funky soul.

I don’t rely on TIME much—for example, they list what they say are the 10 greatest electric guitar player of all time, and actually list 11. But Charlie Christian, who certainly should be close to the top of the list, is missing. They did get Les Paul, but what about Wes Montgomery? Chet Atkins? [...]

"Ar" wants to know who they are. When I was young I studied guitar for seven years (multiple styles), so it's an area I've long had an interest in. I was never very good but I learned a lot about...

I can’t remember how I came across this article, but I recently found a classic article about Eric Johnson from 1986. The article was written around the time of the release of Johnson’s album Tones. Several of Johnson’s contemporaries are quoted in the article, including Steve Morse, Billy Gibbons, Johnny Winter, and Stevie Ray Vaughan, [...]

70 crystals, pink and red, to be honest it didn't take as long as I thought. I have stuck on many a crystal in my time, and these were quite well behaved - there's nothing 5 minute Araldite can't fix! Have to deliver all my footwear for the show this Friday, I am on schedule, no all-nighters or last minute panic attacks! Hurrah for the semblance of organisation! Listening to: Wes Montgomery - Impressions...
