Nextone Special

THE ELECTRIC GUITAR industry’s equivalent of a hot rod speed shop, the original Charvel work shop in Azusa started out selling aftermarket accessories to help discriminating players improve the performance of their instruments. In addition to becoming the birthplace of the Super Strat, Charvel also transitioned to building its own high-performance instruments with custom features. That spirit remains alive today in Charvel’s Pro-Mod series, which offers a tantalizing selection of hot-rodded guitars with innovative design elements. In the past, instruments of this nature commanded expensive custom shop prices, but two new Charvel Pro-Mod Series models — the DK24 HSH 2PT CM and SoCal Style 2 24 HH HT CM — deliver the goods without a wallet-emptying price tag.

HOW TO PLAY THIS MONTH'S SONGS

RELEASED AS A single, ahead of Shinedown's upcoming eighth studio album, this simple, well-crafted song, which was no doubt at least partially inspired by Def Leppard's “Hysteria” and U2's “With or Without You,” has guitarist Zach Myers flatpicking eighth notes with a clean bridge-pickup tone, laying down a repeating eight-bar pattern of ringing chordal arpeggios that share three common tones, with only the bass note changing every two bars.
