Orianthi's April Cover Solidifies Her Place In Guitar World's History

Feb. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- Less than two weeks prior to the March 12th release of her highly-anticipated studio album Heaven In This Hell, Australian guitarist and platinum selling solo artist Orianthi will add history-making cover girl to her growing list of accolades.  For only the third time since its inception 33 years ago, Guitar World, the top selling magazine for music makers, will feature a female on the cover. http://www.guitarworld.com/girl-fire-orianthi-turns-heat-her-new-album-heaven-hell The first was Chrissie Hynde (of The Pretenders) in March of 1981, followed by Courtney Love (from the alternative rock band Hole) in January of 1999.  Now, over a decade later, Orianthi makes history as only the third and the youngest female to ever grace the cover with the April issue.

"Guitar World is one of my favorite magazines, " said Orianthi.  "I am so honored to have their support, be featured on the April cover and to be a small part of the magazine's history," she continued.

Whether she's playing alongside her idols Carlos Santana and Steve Vai; trading guitar licks with Prince; or touring as the lead guitarist for shock-rocker Alice Cooper's band; Orianthi continues to leave an indelible mark on the music industry, showcasing both her versatility and unique style.  "Orianthi has played guitar with some of the biggest and best names in music, because she is one of the very best.  Guitar World is very happy to celebrate this world-class musician by putting her on our cover, a place she where she deservedly belongs," said Brad Tolinski, Editor-in-Chief of Guitar World Magazine.

The April issue will be available on newsstands on Tuesday, March 5th, but can be ordered online. http://store.guitarworld.com/collections/guitar-world/products/guitar-world-apr-13-orianthi
