PICK: Jorma Kaukonen

Hot licks: It would be a disservice to call Jorma Kaukonen anything other than rock royalty. The Washington, D.C., native is on Rolling Stone’s 100 Greatest Guitarists list. He’s a founding member of Jefferson Airplane and Hot Tuna, has performed with Janis Joplin and Jerry Garcia, and still jams frequently with Phil Lesh. Kaukonen has kept busy during lockdown by streaming concerts with his folky friends and teaching workshops from his Ohio ranch. His virtual masterclass (intermediate level) on instrumental guitar supports The Front Porch.
