In an effort to welcome a new generation of players, Rolling Stone partnered with D'Addario to identify up-and-comers with the potential to become the next class of guitar legends.
The list, curated by Rolling Stone’s top editors, features 30 notable players, introducing one new artist each week. The artists highlighted were profiled and interviewed, and viewers are able to experience their inspiring perfomances via video and audio clips.
Additionally, seven of these musicians were chosen to participate in Guitar Power, a D’Addario-sponsored video jam session and interview with guitarist Matt Sweeney, which is also posted within the Young Guns hub. Those featured were Tosin Abasi, Kurt Vile, Dave Harrington, Theresa Wayman, Blake Mills, Steve Gunn, and Kerry McCoy.
“To be able to highlight so many great young guitarists that might never have received such attention in Rolling Stone has been incredible,” says Jeffrey Kaye, Global Artist Relations Direction at D’Addario & Co., Inc.
