Having a good tuner is a must. I think we can all agree that there is nothing worse than a guitar player whose guitar is out of tune. When I first started learning jazz guitar (still learning…) I went on this mad search for the be-all clip-on tuner to use with my jazz box. It’s not like there were a ton available on the market, but there were enough to make me do a bunch of research before buying one.

REVIEW: On Iron Maiden’s 15th studio album, The Final Frontier, the veteran heavy metal band, 35 years into their career, pull off something extraordinary that could very well be revolutionary (made all the remarkable given their age): they reinvent themselves - whether they know it or not, whether that was the plan or not - and in the process, challenge the notions of what of heavy metal, or at least their contributions to the genre, can be.

With his six-string skills best described as a merger between heavy metal, psychedelia, and modern rock, Dave Navarro became one of alternative rock's first true guitar heroes. From his ground-breaking work with "Jane’s Addiction" and "Red Hot Chili Peppers" to his guest appearances on landmark recordings such as Nine Inch Nails' "Further Down the Spiral" and Alanis Morissette's "Jagged Little Pill," Dave Navarro was one of the first rock guitarists not to confine his playing to just one style.

On the cover of "Mustaine," a new autobiography from the frontman of metal band Megadeth, a more youthful, almost-cherub version of Dave Mustaine stares impassively at the reader. In Toronto this week to do press in advance of the book's release next Tuesday, the metal star, 48, is now a bit more weathered, although he still sports the same wavy orangish hair that drapes down his shoulders, and a T-shirt and jeans that appear to have been with him since the 1980s.
