“Instrumental Rock Guitar has had its share of guitar heroes over the years. Steve Vai, Yngvie Malmsteen, Johnny A and Gary Hoey, just to name a few, have all left their stamp on the genre, changing the course of music in the process. While players like this make instrumental rock sound easy to do, releasing an instrumental guitar album is probably one of the most difficult challenges that a guitarist can tackle during their careers. Nashville guitarist Randy Stephens is a player who’s doing just that. With the release of is American Guitar, Stephens is putting his own unique take on the Instrumental Rock guitar genre, one that is at once a testament to those that came before him, and at the same time a vision into the future of the music. Randy Stephens recently sat down with Guitar International to talk about his love of instrumental music, gear and of course his new album, American Guitar. ”

— Dr. Matt Warnock, Guitar International
