The first issue that I ever bought of Guitar Player was this one, from 1982. The cover story was on John Entwistle's vintage guitar collection, and I could not have asked for a more enticing entree into the world of guitar journalism. I had been playing about four months when I started to reach for more information about the instrument, and I've never stopped reading and thinking about it.
I'm currently enjoying this multipart oral history on the Guitar Player editors through the years and cutting a videotaped interview with boutique effects pedal manufacturer Andrew Kilpatrick that will appear in the next few days.
