Australian Guitar #166 is on sale now, featuring a tribute to Ace Frehley, Megadeth, T-Bone Walker and more
Also: Play like eight folk-rock legends
Goodbye, Spaceman: this issue we have a big 11-page special on Ace Frehley, the larger-than-life Kiss axeman who passed away in October last year. We survey the great guitarist's career, as well as the best guitar moments across Kiss's entire catalogue (and the guitars he used to pull 'em off).
We also chat to Megadeth icon Dave Mustaine about the thrash legends' imminent self-titled LP. Their seventeenth slab will also be their last, and our interview takes in the whole breadth of Mustaine's career.
Artist profiles don't stop there: Also inside is Perth melodic death metal trio Vanta, and —for something completely different—an in-depth look at the life and times of T-Bone Walker. We also chat to the crew behind the Australian Guitar Show, which will skip Melbourne this year in favour of Sydney (exclusively to stoke state rivalries, of course).
What about technique? We take a look at the biggest players in 1960s and 1970s folk rock, ranging from Richard Thompson to Jimmy Page. And reviews-wise, we have Fender, Gibson's (much more affordable) new Noel Gallagher Les Paul, as well as Yamaha, Gretsch, Badcat, Boss and more.
