In dit nummer

Ian Thornley
The guitarist behind Canadian rockers Big Wreck on clashing with producers,the joy of pinch harmonics and the importance of extravagant guitar solos.

Narducy does R.E.M.
In 2025, Chicago alternative-music fixture Jason Narducy teamed up with Michael Shannon — the guy who plays President James Garfield on Netflix’s stellar Death by Lightning — to launch a barnstorming R.E.M. tribute tour. And that already-rich pageant will only get richer in 2026.

Robert Fripp exclusive
In an expanded edition of our Lost Classics series, the King Crimson guitar legend — his personal diary open for the first time in 50 years — looks back on the making of 1974’s Red, the album that pushed the U.K. prog-rock greats to their (first) breaking point. He also tells us about the trio of guitars that have meant to most to him since 1963.

Marcus King
One of Guitar World’s 2025 guitarists of the year discusses the Marcus King Band album that got him there, a little something called Darling Blue.
