We’ve all seen Madonna playing guitar at her shows, but with the release of her album MDNA we learn that Madonna played guitar in the studio for one of her new songs “Falling Free”! This is the 1st time that M recorded a song with herself being the studio guitarist! In 2008 with the release of “Hard Candy” she mentioned that she’s quite good in playing guitar at live shows, but being a studio guitarist is a different story, since you have to be really precise.

It seems that Monte Pittman has helped Madonna step up in a whole new level of guitar playing! We obviously can’t wait to see them together rocking out in the 2012 World Tour!!

Monte Pittman took a break from his busy schedule in NYC and talked about music, his signature guitar and of course Madonna! Check out an excerpt from his interview at Yahoo!Voices.
I’m going on tour with Madonna again. The dates are on her website. I’m deeply in love with her new album. It’s one of my favorite things she’s ever done. You can listen to all of the singles individually, but I like listening to entire albums. I think these are some of her deepest lyrics I’ve heard from her. I’m blown away and can’t wait to play some of this stuff live. For me, it kind of sums up everything we all have ever loved about her in one.

As soon as I’m done with all of this, I’m making my third album. It’s written. It just needs to be recorded. I’ve already started making the blueprint for it. When that comes out, I’m putting myself on whatever tour I can book — however I can.
