About
As the world’s longest-running guitar magazine, Guitar Player has been giving guitarists exclusive insights to their favorite artists and music since 1967, when it was the first — and only — magazine of its kind.
Guitar Player established its reputation as an authority by featuring groundbreaking interviews with players like Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman and other guitarists from the classic rock era. In 1978, the magazine helped usher in a new era of guitar pyrotechnics when it published the first in-depth interview with Eddie Van Halen. It would go on to help launch and further the solo career of Steve Vai, whose solo debut The Attitude Song was featured on the magazine’s first flexi-disc Sound Sheet recording, which was bound into the October 1984 issue.
