I just finished a new blog post in my series "30 Years Ago in Guitar Player". It features the first ever Joe Satriani cover story; Also great stuff on bluesmen Charlie Baty, Anson Funderburgh and Ron Thompson and sideman Kevin Dukes.

I had stacks of GFTPM and guitar player from 84 - 90s.
They basically taught me how to play.
I had to get rid of them in 2000 - they were taking up too much valuable real estate.

It's nice to see them again! Thanks for sharing.

You're welcome! I've really enjoyed this project, and it's great to revisit these old issues in-depth. Thanks for reading, and stay tuned!

I remember that one! In fact it's probably in my garage in the big boxes full of 'em. Those US guitar mags, Guitar World, Guitar Player, GFTPM aand the others were a real treasure trove, and pretty hard to find in my neck of the woods. It's fairly safe to say that most of what I learned came from countless hours poring over them.
God, it was so damned exciting every time I managed to score a new one!
Kids today - they just wouldn't understand....

I wonder if a buddy of mine had that 1. Was that the 1 with The Crush of Love disk inside? That was my intro to Satch!!
