Or Paul Revere And The Raiders?
Both Buckethead and Tedesco wrote columns for Guitar Player magazine. Not concurrently, though.
Buckethead\'s "Psychobuddy" columns in the early 90s were my introduction to his musical stylings. They were printed sporadically thru the early 90s and I think the last one was run in 94. I miss them.
Tedesco\'s long running column detailed a lot of his studio work with examples of the cues that he played back in the day. He was an amazing musician.

Yes that was really cool, I subscribed to that magazine for years as a kid. I was very fortunate and lucky enough to actually have met Jas Obrecht last year, a lead editor and writer there for many years. He has met and written about so many legendary guitar players (of course Buckethead) it is mind-bending! I only sat with him at lunch for an hour, but I could have listened to him all day.

Mr. Obrecht\'s writings have informed and enlightened me for years. I\'ve subscribed for a long time.
