Legendary electric guitar innovator Les Paul would have been 100 today, and his birth is being honored across the U.S. with a series of special events that will include appearances by some of the countless musicians he inspired.
Classic rock will be well represented in this year's Black Friday Record Store Day releases, which will include special collectible vinyl from Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Joe Satriani and more.
The future of guitar playing arrived in stores 26 years ago, courtesy of Joe Satriani’s epochal second album, and de facto public coming out party, 1987’s ‘Surfing with the Alien.’
