ISSUE 6: “Guitar Visions” offers a hefty guitar-themed issue. I've put together a memorial essay on Wilburn Burchette, mail-order metaphysician and visionary guitarist, and his collaborator/brother, Kenneth, both of whom were found deceased in their home this past July. I've also included a transcription of my 2021 interview with North Carolina luthier and folk philosopher Freeman Vines, here with significant visual supplements. This is followed by my recent interview with Tennessee guitarist Joseph Allred, who reflects on theology, guitar playing, trauma navigation, and southern culture. And we are fortunate to have an exclusive exposé of the personal Hexadic notebooks of guitarist Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance). The issue closes with my reflection on early 20th century American guitar figures inspired by the Theosophical Society.
