“It took me a few years to figure out that if you’re going to play Fender guitars, you play with Fender amps”: Ryan Hedgecock stuck to his own creative path, even when Lone Justice were torn apart

1 day ago | guitarworld.com | Andrew Daly

Ryan Hedgecock formed Lone Justice in the early ‘80s as part of his journey from glam-loving kid to punk-meets-country Tele slinger, aiming to express “the indigenous sound of LA.” He nearly did it too – with the big-voiced Maria McKee out front, Lone Justice took the city by storm, garnering praise from Dolly Parton and Linda Ronstadt, before signing with Geffen Records. “People liked that we were doing something with country music that hadn’t been done before,” Hedgecock says.

“I’d met Leslie West, and like a lot of guitar players, you couldn’t meet Leslie West and come out unscathed”: Martin Barre explains how the Mountain man influenced his most iconic solo on Jethro Tull’s Aqualung

Martin Barre might protest that he is “not and never will be a guitar hero”, but he’s certainly looked and sounded like one at numerous points in his career – and perhaps never more so than on Jethro Tull’s Aqualung. However, in a recent interview with Guitarist, he explains the song’s tone was influenced by another six-strong icon. “I’d met Leslie West, and like a lot of guitar players, you couldn’t meet Leslie West and come out unscathed,” he tells Guitarist. “I loved him to bits.
“I literally made the change that Eddie Van Halen was known for and was thinking about”: Larry DiMarzio says his revolutionary bridge tweak pre-empted Van Halen’s own mods

Eddie Van Halen was a revelation when it came to the electric guitar. A shredder of Olympic proportions, he was also a notorious tinkerer of his weapons of choice. His Frankenstein Strat – which marries an ash-bodied Strat with a Gibson PAF humbucker and a Floyd Rose – will forever prove that. Indeed, his love of modding has just been turned into a full-fledged documentary.
“The only gear I brought was a red Hamer prototype. That guitar is magical. I used it on Robert Palmer’s Addicted to Love, David Lee Roth’s California Girls and with Mick Jagger”: Eddie Martinez explains how he helped Run-D.M.C. bring rock to hip hop

Before hooking up with Run-D.M.C., New York City session veteran Eddie Martinez had made his rounds with Blondie, Robert Palmer, Mick Jagger and David Lee Roth (and let’s not forget his contributions to Run-D.M.C.’s self-titled 1984 debut). Still, he says that lending his licks to a hip-hop album, which became King of Rock, was a different animal. “Big ‘rock’ guitar wasn’t associated with rap prior to me playing on Rock Box and King of Rock,” Martinez says.

“Any distortion came from the amp itself. It was considered a rather clean sound compared to other punk bands”: Joe Genaro on overhead conversations, ad-libs, and making it catchy and funny on the Dead Milkmen’s classic punk debut

3 days ago | guitarworld.com | Andrew Daly

In 1985, guitarist Joe Genaro and the rest of the Dead Milkmen – bassist Dave Schulthise, drummer Dean Sabatino, and vocalist Rodney Linderman – were young and, let’s just say, not always incredibly serious. After all, the artwork for their debut album, 1985’s Big Lizard in My Backyard, gloriously depicts a giant reptile on the verge of crushing a lawn chair. Comedy rock, indeed – but that doesn’t mean the Milkmen were rudderless.
