Below, you can read the interview, which finds the guitar great discussing some of his favorite subjects – the art of making music, his studio secrets, and the Chili Peppers' return to the live stage. He also candidly discusses why he left the band over a decade ago, and what ultimately brought him back to his musical brothers.  Jackson Maxwell – Associate Editor, guitarworld.com     More Ways to Get Paid with CD Baby "That unexpected $10K right before Christmas was an incredible blessing for my family." - Evie Claire Learn More ADVERTISEMENT Top Stories Watch Pearl Jam, Chad Smith, and Josh Klinghoffer pay tribute to Taylor Hawkins with a Foo Fighters cover (Kevin Mazur/Getty) The collective, led by Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron, joined together to play Cold Day in the Sun in tribute to the much-missed Foo Fighters drummer Full Story: Guitar World (5/9)      Matt Heafy teaches the ins and outs of Trivium's most ferocious riffs in the latest episode of Gibson's Riff Lords (Gibson TV/YouTube) Signature Epiphone Les Paul in hand, Heafy offers up some useful technical tips, and reveals how the unusual healing of a broken pinky on his fretting hand helps him with some particularly gnarly stretches Full Story: Guitar World (5/9)      Hendrix: Electric Requiem is a graphic novel that charts the life of the guitar icon (Ablaze Publishing) Arriving this August, the new comic tells the story of Jimi Hendrix's complex personal and artistic life Full Story: Guitar World (5/9)      Your FREE Release Plan Generator Get the most out of every music opportunity — before, during, and after your release date.
