That’s how many issues of Guitar Player reside in our archive, from our debut publication to our last. (We tried running the numbers several times, but we’d lose count after being distracted by some fascinating nugget from an earlier age.)

Guitar Player
has featured the greatest guitarists. For our final issue, we present a select group of excerpts from some of our favorite interviews.
