The Fender Custom Shop, alongside Mike McCready’s signature Stratocaster and the Surf Green With Envy Collection, has revealed the details of the 2021 Prestige...
From starting a YouTube channel to writing her first single, Sophie Burrell explains how she went from idolising Mark Tremonti to earning her very own PRS endorsement.
After two albums of stark confessionals that cut to the core, Julien Baker faced a dilemma over whether to repeat a winning formula or expand her sound. Her decision making is as astute as her songwriting, it turns out.
Stuart Braithwaite finds his voice on the cinematic post-rockers’ 10th album, with the Glaswegians still sounding fresh 25 years on from their first release.
With its terrifying stories of murder, vengeance and grotesque brutality, Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds’ ninth album is tough going. Yet, 25 years ago, it became a million-selling commercial success thanks in part to an appearance from the princess of pop.
Many players replace their pickups before they’ve even experimented with the way their heights are set. Knowing how to do this could save you some money and unlock some authentic shoegaze tones into the bargain.
Does Ireland’s first guitar hero deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as SRV and Eric Clapton? Quite probably. Rory Gallagher was a pioneer with a sound and style as unique as his battered Fender Strat.
In the second part of our Paul McCartney lesson we head into a world of moving basslines and slash, seventh and diminished chords as a songwriting genius broadens his horizons.
In the first of a new series, we examine how this simple and common system for learning the guitar contains hidden depths that could be the key to unlocking your potential as a musician.
Continuing our look at the chord shapes and sequences used by The Beatles, we get inside the head of Paul McCartney and find a songwriting genius with an enthusiasm for minor chords and chords from outside the key.

Download Festival Australia has been added to the growing list of events to be cancelled due to coronavirus.
The festival was due to take place on 20 and 21 March, in Melbourne and Sydney respectively. My Chemical Romance, Deftones and Jimmy Eat World were due to headline. The first sign of trouble came when it was announced that My Chemical Romance would not be making their headline slot, as was announced in an official Instagram post by the festival:
This came after the Festival announced it had no plans to cancel just three days ago, as NME reports.
But My Chemical Romance’s backing out would be followed by the complete cancellation. A statement from the organisers reads: “as we are unable to deliver a complete line-up to meet the standard that Download fans both expect and deserve, we have very reluctantly made the decision to cancel Download Australia 2020.”
Australia’s prime minister Scott Morrison today (13 March) announced that gatherings of more than 500 people would be canceled across the country to help curb the spread of coronavirus. The ban comes into effect from Monday 16 March but will not apply to schools, universities, public transport or airports.
