With the recent announcement of the limited edition boygenius signature Broadkaster Jr. by Gretsch—which sold out, by the way—another entry has been added to the relatively short list of women, or, in this case, groups of women with signature guitars. It’s a list that has expanded in the past decade or so, and it includes Yvette Young, Chrissie Hyn…

I’ve said before that one of my biggest musical influences, period, is Ryan Adams. I suppose I should probably say “was” Ryan Adams. From the time I was 12 until probably 2015 or so, I was an enormous supporter of his music. I had all the albums, some of the books, a lot of the 45s, I even went to his art show at the Morrison Hotel Gallery in 2009.…

If you follow legendary pedal company EHX on YouTube, you might have refreshed your feed and even gotten a push notification to check out their new video. It’s titled “The Socialist Gangsters,” so already a pretty weird start. It's an original song by Mike Matthews about the time he busted a union in NYC, and event he clearly blames on the brand's …

Last week, Spotify made the news in a bad way. Long story short, they announced changes to their payout structure that will most certainly demonetize an enormous amount of artists. It’s a move competition law experts are calling “discriminatory and exploitative.” And it’s both a huge deal, and not really a big deal at all. Support Get Offset by... …

“Can we just stop pretending women care about guitars?” “I get the same vibe from some women pretending to be into Warhammer, that you are larping, that you like pretending to be into guitars, not because of what the guitars actually mean to you, but rather how it means you are perceived in the sub-culture, as the cool guitar gurl, guitars become a…

What in the world is Live Nation up to?

We all have those "riffs" that are central to who we are as guitarists. Maybe it was one of the first things we learned to play—ever! Or maybe it was what brought us back into the instrument later in life. It could even be something that got your band some serious attention.

I can't believe I didn't know that the recipients of one of the most controversial GRAMMY wins ever played their instruments, and that's embarrassing for me.
