...Aledort began lifting the notes of his favorites like Johnny Winter and Jimi Hendrix off the records, so he could play the music he enjoyed. When he began teaching classes, he "realized that I had to force everyone to learn to read. I wouldn't let them off the hook. I told them, You learned how to talk didn't you? You had to learn the alphabet didn't you? Well this is easier, now you only have to learn up to G."

1991 Robert Phillips, Niccolo Paganini Caprice No. 24, Guitar Article with Tab / Sheet Music

Niccolo Paganini (1782-1840) was in many ways the first equivalent to today's rock star / guitar hero. With his flowing hair, flamboyant stage manner and controversial lifestyle, he set the standard that has been imitated by many and backed it up with virtuosic performances of his own pyrotechnic show-stoppers.

The 24th Caprice is probably Paganini's most famous composition. It is in the form of a theme and variation which means that the melody / harmony is given, then altered, but without changing the basic harmonic structure...

1991 Guitarist Robert Fripp 5-Page Article

There may be younger, more callow guitarists out there who are unaware of Robert Fripp. In a way, that is understandable. Fripp has been out of circulation through most of the 1980s, more content to work behind the scenes than on it. Yet, Fripp's contribution to contemporary rock guitar is inestimable. His aggressive flatpicking as founding (and sole continuous) member of King Crimson shaped every permutation of that group over the course of nearly 10 albums...
