These videos represent the bonus content for the November 2026 issue of Guitar World, also known as the one with Greta Van Fleet's Jake Kiszka on the cover.
For the tabs that go with the top four videos on this page – as well as interviews from the issue (including Kiszka, Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Lenny Kaye, Andy Powers and Keanu Reeves) – plus a tribute to the late Wayne Charvel, gear reviews, song transcriptions, Lost Classics and Power Tools – pick up the new issue (starting September 8, 2026) at our online shop or on newsstands.
It's time once again for bonus videos from the Guitar World crew. We know you have an 9:45 a.m. meeting scheduled with Clem H. Fandango from your firm's burgeoning Southwest division, but these videos are much, much, much more important.

Damian is Editor-in-Chief of Guitar World magazine. In past lives, he was GW’s managing editor and online managing editor. He's written liner notes for major-label releases, including Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'The Complete Epic Recordings Collection' (Sony Legacy) and has interviewed everyone from Yngwie Malmsteen to Kevin Bacon (with a few memorable Eric Clapton chats thrown into the mix). Damian, a former member of Brooklyn's The Gas House Gorillas, was the sole guitarist in Mister Neutron, a trio that toured the U.S. and released three albums. He now plays in two NYC-area bands.
