Guitar Techniques April 2018 (#280) contents:

• Peter Green - Fleetwood Mac style study. He's one of Britain's most revered guitarists. His brief time in Fleetwood Mac left us a wealth of brilliant blues, ballads and rock. Here Phil Capone reveals the secrets to Peter's distinctive style.
• Dorian Mode - The minor miracle. Give your minor playing the lift it deserves with a scale that's easy and accessible but adds style and sophistication to your rhythm and solos.
• Alessandro Marcello. Adagio from Oboe Concerto. Bridget arranges and transcribes a piece that transfers surprisingly well from orchestra and lead oboe to solo nylon-string guitar.
• Blues. Ronan McCullagh describes the playing style of the guitarist from Canadian band Mahogany Rush, the inexcusably undersung Frank Marino.
• Rock. Martin Cooper pays tribute to Malcolm Young, who powered the rhythm and riffs of AC/DC.
• Jazz. John Wheatcroft lifts his hat to an awe-inspiring jazz guitarist, the amazing Earl Klugh.
• Acoustic. Stuart Ryan introduces the tragically starred American singer-songwriter, Elliott Smith.
• Creative rock. Shaun Baxter investigates how to create modal Pentatonic scales from within Mixolydian.
• Slide. Harrison Marsh looks at the instantly recognisable slide playing of Elmore James.
• Fretboard fluency. Martin Goulding gets your fingers flying as he navigates the Dorian mode in 5ths and 6ths.
• In The Woodshed. Charlie Griffiths helps you hone your skills. This month he examines one of the most popular odd-time signatures: 5/4 time.
• Video. Carl Verheyen. Blues-fusion masterclass. This stunning rock guitarist improvises a solo over another Jason Sidwell composition, then explains his approach in methodical detail.
