Guitare Xtreme Magazine numéro 108

We did not choose the guitar and by extension rock'n'roll to then apologize for making noise. Might as well stay at home to play with sober and discreet instruments. Steve Vai is entirely impregnated with this credo and his guitars (except for the first Universe 7 black strings) have always reflected his abundant and exuberant music. Flaubert would have said that what counts, more than the story, more than the content, is the style and this is precisely by his style (that is so recognizable) that the Alien responsible for Passion And Warfare, Ultra Zone and of the creation of the delirious instrument that he commissioned from Hoshino / Ibanez to satisfy his taste for steampunk aesthetics and his desire for sonic exoticism. The limit between style and pose is sometimes tenuous, and Page Hamilton demonstrates it to us by firing red balls at the fake punks, the junk rebels, who laughed at his ESP Horizon at the time when it was hype to play with a Fender offset to be credible. The best way to forge your style is also perhaps to return to the essentials of human relations. It involves choosing your instrument from among those built next door by human beings, rather than just following a brand hoping to benefit from the fame of its famous users. Julien Bitoun tells us, in the preamble to our Special Issue "100% Made In France gear", which will be released at the end of January 2022, how he slowly switched to handmade equipment never to go back. We have also cooked up some very heavy gear reviews, including two carried out by Judge Fredd who bring out powder talking about French gear amongst some new features for all budgets. Finally, with our pedagogical sections, you will find something to enjoy and refine your style by picking up tips and tricks from our experienced teachers. Moreover, we can only encourage you to subscribe to our Youtube, Instagram and Facebook channels, since you'll be able to get there both the educational content of our video magazines, but also exclusive publications such as gear review or interviews.
Do not hesitate to subscribe either, in order to take advantage of our exclusive gifts and your favorite magazine designed and printed in France for your pleasure.
Finally, the entire Guitare Xtreme team wishes you a very fun 2022 filled with good vibes: cheers!
