Ross the Boss!

I know manowar is not for everyone, but the the guy is just a damned brilliant player, and The Dictators were hugely influential on The Ramones and many other NYC bands to follow.

The guys has tone, great technique, can shred... he can do it all. VERY under-appreciated.

Maybe the context here should be "...that haven't been featured already".

Nathan Peyton; lead guitarist of Rides Again

They're a Canadian rock band that's been having lots of small-time success in the last few years. Movie soundtracks, provincial football half-time shows, and they even managed to get their last single onto the Canadian Rock Top 20.

Dave Tronzo (jazz slide guitar)
Kurt Rosenwinkel (jazz)
Hubert Kappell (classical guitar)
Chris Proctor (fingerstyle)
Peter Finger (ditto)

I think these have all appeared at one time or another in your magazine (some of them I KNOW have)! But talented people "under the radar" should not be forgotten.

Any of these gentleman deserve a cover, but of course there are newsstand sales to consider. So put Kiss on the cover, just make sure there are good guitarists on the inside, and good instructional columns.

1) Robert Conti (Cover story...he deserves it. No, he did not put me up to this. smile )

2) Bert Lams

3) Scott Henderson

4) Tom Griesgraber (Stick player from Encinitas, CA)
It would great to interview Stick players to give guitarists more insight into this cousin of the guitar.

5) Tommy Castro
