Norwegian Guitarist Eivind Aarset Interviewed at AAJ...And More!
In a time when the interactive video game Guitar Hero is selling in the millions, Eivind Aarset is, in many ways, the Guitar Anti-Hero.

Interview: Jim Hall (Part 3)
When Jim Hall left the Jimmy Giuffre Trio in 1961, he was a new guitarist. Jim's extended period with Giuffre helped him develop a new way to slur notes on the instrument's neck rather than relying solely on the pick.
