Let's make this birthday one to remember.

76 years old (Born on December 23, 1948)

Happy Birthday, Jim Ferguson! Another year older and still shredding those guitar strings like they're going out of style. Your insightful articles in Guitar Journal and DownBeat have inspired countless musicians—though we're pretty sure your secret is just caffeine, jazz chords, and a dash of rock 'n' roll rebellion.

From interviewing legendary artists to dazzling us with your own fretboard wizardry, you've proven that age only improves rhythm (and humor). May this birthday bring you as much joy as the time you nailed that impossible solo or penned an article so good it made even grumpy drummers smile. Keep rocking on!
