Now, I don’t want to beat up on ol’ Guitar Player magazine, which I’ve read since I was a kid, and still read today at the library. They publish great things, and naturally, some less than great things. (I was upset about their recent “50 Bad-ass Blues Solos You Must Hear” cover story, but loved the article about Henry Kaiser.) All I’ll say about this is that whoever came up with it, they didn’t take lessons from John Schott!
