Guitarists.

Newquist was the Editor-In-Chief of GUITAR Magazine for several years. During that time, he wrote a great deal about guitarists and guitar playing.

Other music magazines have featured Newquist's writing, including Guitar Player, Guitar Shop, Billboard, Musician's Planet, Music Technology, and a few others. Many of these GUITAR interviews and articles are on this website. Click on the artist below to see or download the articles as they appeared in the mags.

Being a writer who also plays guitar has allowed Newquist to indulge both pursuits by writing books about the guitar. He wrote the definitive history of rock guitarists Legends Of Rock Guitar with Pete Prown. Prown is one of America's premier guitar experts and the guitarist behind the popular Guitar Garden CDs.

Newquist also developed The Way They Play series, which teaches guitarists how to play and sound like their favorite artists. His co-writer on TWTP is Rich Maloof, a stellar guitarist and acclaimed writer/editor. To date, Newquist and Maloof have completed four books in the series. All Newquist's guitar books are linked below.
