NEWS: New Monte Montgomery CD
Next week I’ll post my review of Monte Montgomery’s new, self-titled album.
Montgomery was named by Guitar Player Magazine as one of the ‘Top 50 All-Time Greatest Guitar Players’ and he’s an absolute monster of the guitar. A little while ago Guitar Player ran a feature on him, and they looked at his technique, approach, and guitar in great depth.
Monte Montgomery’s music is acoustic-based, and he wrings some amazing sounds out of his Alvarez MMY-1 Monte Montgomery signature guitar. I haven’t seen an acoustic guitar so lovingly beaten up since the last time Tommy Emmanuel came to town.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
