These videos represent bonus content for the Holiday 2026 issue of Guitar World, also known as the shockingly wonderful yellow one with Joe Satriani and Steve Vai on the cover.
For the tabs that go with the top four videos on this page – as well as interviews from the issue (Satch, Vai, Ralph Macchio, Arlen Roth, Alabama Shakes, Billy Morrison and Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau – plus five gear reviews, three song transcriptions, The Gear Hunter, Shop Talk and Power Tools – pick up the new issue (starting November 3, 2026) at our online shop or on newsstands.
It's time once again for a handful of bonus videos from the insanely lovely and talented Guitar World crew. We know you have a 9:30 a.m. meeting scheduled with Clem H. Fandango, but watching these videos is much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much more important. Trust us!
