Happy Birthday to Sir Paul McCartney, who turns 71 today. One of the greatest musicians and songwriters of all time!

From “Alive" to “Do the Evolution," Stone Gossard has engineered some of Pearl Jam’s biggest riffs. How does he recognize a great one? “It’s usually about sort of stumbling," he says. “My methodology is not knowing what I’m doing and making that work for me. You pick up a guitar and the first thing you do is maybe you throw a capo on it, but you don’t throw it across all of the strings, and you D-tune that string, and then you strum on that for a second, and then maybe you tune up the bottom string and do something with that. You have a thing that you do that’s good, but that thing is also your cliché, so you’re always trying to push it someplace new that still feels like it comes from what you like."

Stone Gossard spoke with us about his solo album Moonlander, thoughts on touring and his all-time favorite riff.
