WELCOME TO ISSUE 106 OF GUITAR INTERACTIVE MAGAZINE...
Few guitarists have made as lasting an impact as Paul Gilbert. With nearly four decades of setting fretboards ablaze, Gilbert's unique voice on the guitar has cemented him as far more than a shredder. In this issue, Gi’s Jonathan Graham chats exclusively with Paul about the legacy of Mr. Big, their final album 'Ten' (out now via Frontiers Records), and how his approach to the instrument continues to evolve. Plus, Gilbert teases the exciting possibility of new projects on the way—something fans have long hoped for!
On the other side of the spectrum, Scottish rockers Travis return with their highly anticipated new album 'L.A. Times' (out now via BMG). We sat down with the band's lead guitarist, Andy Dunlop, at the iconic Gibson Garage in London, where he shared insights into their new release, their upcoming headline tour, and the remarkable journey that has kept Travis at the top for over two decades.
For those craving something heavier, British metal outfit Defects offers a blistering dose of emotion and energy. In an exclusive interview, Gi chats with guitarists Luke Genders and James Threadwell about their debut album 'Modern Error,' a raw, emotional journey through trauma and resilience.
And of course, as with every issue, we bring you the best and latest gear reviews from the world of guitar, with our expert team offering insights that we hope will inspire your playing and creativity. Enjoy the issue!
