This time around, we’re taking another look at those great guitarists of the Atomic Age. The guitar as an instrument had really moved to the forefront. It was a time of great innovation and great licks. And playing styles of that era helped define the sound of the guitar for decades to follow. We’ll hear from Tony Mottola, Les Paul, The 50 Guitars Of Tommy Garrett, Vinny Bell, and many others.
