A lot of the guitarists I particularly admire are player / singers – and not just the more obvious choices like James Hetfield and Kurt Cobain but the musicians I consider to be unsung heroes of the field – Jim Adkins of Jimmy Eat World, Dustin Kensrue of Thrice, Jerry Cantrell and CCR man John Fogerty. It feels like both the most under-appreciated skill, while also seeming incredibly challenging to outsiders. But as with anything on guitar, it's about a process and building up muscle memory.
The Gibson Gazette has reminded us of that with its latest feature video from the Gibson App – a learning resource for iOS and Android that's full of great lessons, including specific classic songs taught by artists.
