And It Was All Yellow

THERE ARE LOADS of guitars in black or white, red and blue, or a cornucopia of sunbursts and natural wood finishes. But somehow, when I stumble across a guitar that’s screaming with a loud, bright neon finish, I easily succumb to my inner urge to take that guitar out for a fleet-fingered ride for all to see. And that’s exactly how I rolled when I test-drove the new Jackson Guitars X Series Dinky DK3XR HSS in a blaring Caution Yellow finish with neon pink pickups. Say what you will, but my temerity to strap on such an outrageous instrument is boundless. This X Series Dinky DK3XR is indeed a fast and loud guitar, and I’ll joyride this V12 Lambo-equivalent as my next six-string companion for as long as I can.

Kittie - Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara Mcleod discuss the canadian metal powerhouse's unexpected rebirth — by fire!

Guitarists Morgan Lander and Tara McLeod explain that making new music was “not on their bingo card” when the band regrouped in 2022 for a few festival appearances, preferring to think of the sets as more of a “final lap” than a new beginning. But drilling into old favorites — whether the nu-flavored teenage slams of 1999’s Spit or the more venomously groove-thrashed tunes of their late-’00s period — revealed that despite not having raged together in years, there was something undeniably special about Kittie’s musical connection. “Playing with these girls is like putting on an old pair of pants,” Lander says. “It’s very comfortable — and it looks good too.”

McKinley James - Why all you really need is a guitar, a drummer and some serious low-end six-string skills

Nashville-based blues rocker McKinley James came flying out of the gate in 2022 with his Dan Auerbachproduced EP, Still Standing By. His momentum screeched to a halt, however, when his keyboardist split, leaving only him and his drummer, Jason Smay (who also happens to be his father). “For a moment, I was like, ‘What are we going to do?” James says. “But then I thought, ‘Well, other bands have succeeded as a duo. Maybe we can, too.”
