Good — confirmed the content. I know all these artists well. Here's the listing: Title (80 chars max including spaces): Guitar Techniques Magazine Feb 2001 CD Steve Vai Sonny Landreth Phil Keaggy (76 characters ✓) Guitar Techniques — February 2001, with original CD included. A particularly strong issue spanning rock virtuosity, blues, slide, fingerstyle jazz, classical and acoustic — covering a remarkable range of guitar styles in a single issue. Featured artists: Steve Vai — the Zappa alumnus and Whitesnake/David Lee Roth veteran whose 1990 album Passion and Warfare redefined technical rock guitar. By early 2001 he had recently launched his Favored Nations label and was at the height of his profile as one of the genre's defining voices. GT's feature — billed as "guitar overload" — is a deep dive into his technique: whammy bar articulation, circular vibrato, artificial harmonics, multi-layered tapping and the unusual note choices and odd phrasing that set him apart from other shredders of his era. Sonny Landreth — the Louisiana slide master and architect of a style that remains essentially his alone: fretting behind the slide with the fingers behind the bar to produce chord voicings and countermelodies simultaneously, drawing on Cajun, zydeco, country blues and Delta influences into a sound that has made him the guitarist's guitarist. GT describes him as "a heady mix of Cajun, zydeco and country blues." Vinnie Moore — the Delaware-born neo-classical shredder who made his name on Shrapnel Records in the late '80s alongside Tony MacAlpine and Jason Becker, and later became the lead guitarist of UFO. A technical player with a melodic sensibility that kept him distinct from the pure speed merchants of his era. Phil Keaggy — one of the most respected fingerpickers in contemporary Christian and acoustic music, with a technique and tonal sensitivity that has drawn admiration from players well outside his primary audience. Known for his loop-based live performances and an effortlessly musical approach to complex fingerstyle arrangements. Martin Taylor — the Scottish jazz guitarist considered one of the finest solo chord-melody players alive, capable of simultaneously walking a bass line, comping chords and playing the melody — essentially a full jazz trio in one pair of hands. A regular GT contributor and interview subject, beloved by acoustic and jazz guitarists. John Dowland — the Renaissance lutenist and composer whose works (Flow My Tears, Come Again, Lachrimae) are staples of classical guitar repertoire and represent some of the most emotionally direct music ever written for a plucked string instrument. GT's inclusion signals a classical/historical feature or transcription. Mike Bloomfield and Paul Butterfield — the Chicago electric blues partnership that electrified Monterey and Dylan's historic electric Newport set in 1965. Bloomfield's passionate, singing lead work and Butterfield's harp-driven band defined the white Chicago blues movement and remain touchstones for blues and blues-rock players.
