Time, Touch, And Reverence – The Magical Philosophy Of Slide – The sound of slide guitar is part of the human experience. Birthed to create melodies with the cry and moan like a human voice, its history traces from ancient Africa to some of the best modern blues, rock and country. We discuss it with Sonny Landreth, Derek Trucks, Warren Haynes, and aother superstars of slide. By Oscar Jordan

Nuno Bettencourt – team Extreme – Since its beginning, Extreme’s sound and approach have centered on his guitar wizardry. Though technically gifted, his priority has always been “song first,” and the band’s new album proves he can still wow fans with his six-string skills. By Greg Prato

Nick Perri – Constant Creator – Raised in a strict Catholic household he was 12 when an aunt slipped two cassette tape to him under the Thanksgiving table. Beyond changing his life, her stealthy indiscretion helped mold his existence. By Ward Meeker
