Let's dive into the history of the Guitar Techniques Magazine.

In this video, Neville Marten and Jason Sidwell, both editors of Guitar Techniques Magazine, came to visit me. Neville has met and interviewed dozens of legendary guitarists, like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, and George Harrison. As for Jason, he's the senior tuition editor of Guitarist and has written and edited over 20,000 printed articles since 1998.

Back in 1994, the magazine's very first cover was supposed to be Flea against Satriani in a who's the best competitive format. Instead of pinning them against each other, they opted to digest both individual musicians separately.

We had a great time chatting about the history of GT Mag & how this techniques-only magazine came to be. And we touch on their streamlining influence on guitar tabs we're familiar with today and what it takes to be a music writer.
