Eric Alper is a renowned music publicist, industry expert, and self-proclaimed music nerd with a deep love for all things rock 'n' roll.

We share our Guitarist Mount Rushmore—our picks for the four greatest guitarists of all time—and dive into what makes a solo timeless. We also look ahead to the future of the guitar and its role in modern music, exploring how technology, cultural shifts, and new generations of players may redefine the instrument’s legacy.
