The Spring issue of the UK's Guitar Techniques magazine has a feature on Mike in its Prog Icons section. It includes an overview of his career, a guide to getting his guitar sound, a set of style examples with tab and backing tracks on the cover CD and a list of recommended albums.

You can order a copy here.

Thanks, James Questari

Have you already bought it? If so, what kind of pictures are there in it?

Thank you

Thanks for the extra details - I've added them to the original post. I'll have to take a look for a copy myself, it sounds like it's worth a look!

I got the mag Saturday thinking the audio samples of Mike's playing style would be of mike's own music rather than something made up by Mr Corona which it turned out to be ...consequently I wasn't that impressed even though I was able to discern the similarities it didn't do Mike's style justice !!

Guitar magazine style examples are almost always like that. They do very occasionally get the actual player featured to record them (as Mike did for Total Guitar a few years ago), but it's an exception rather than the norm.

Your right Korgscrew ...I was too harsh  
I've still got the Total Guitar CD you mentioned but I remember another guitar mag CD where the mag guitarist played two samples from TB1 prior to which he admitted it was impossible to mimic Mike's electric guitar style because unlike most other players he uses his long nails !

:laugh:

Quite ironical...Mike playing bass and you have an article to discuss his guitar techniques!

Waiting for the scans here...

I know, but I think they were making the point about Mike being more than just a guitar player.
