Last edition's survey results are in! We asked respondents which guitar brand they would play if they could only pick one. The leader turned out to be Gibson guitars, with 26% of the vote, with strong secondary support for both Ibanez and Paul Reed Smith. We've got a great new, very simple, anonymous survey that you can answer in about five seconds to let us know on which musical activity do you estimate you spend the most time.
This edition's guest columnists offer practicing tips, business advice and ideas for teaching students directly to your web browser. We've got nine fresh columns altogether - eight written by returning columnists and one by a new columnist.

Neal Nagaoka is back with your amazing guitar videos in "Neal's Terrifying Young Guns: 6th Edition". Guitarist Joe Pinnavaia returns after a break with his article "Listen And Learn".

This edition we're shining the spotlight on four more of the most outstanding artists from the eleven years of the Undiscovered series profiles - it's called The Rediscovered. Think of it as the best of the best of The Undiscovered artists - another chance to check in with guitar oriented musicians and bands you may have missed the first time around.
We return, as always, with promotional material, audio clips and ordering information for Guitar Nine Records releases. Our overall mission continues to be to help you to achieve your musical goals, whatever they may be.
 Guitar Nine Records is a guitar-oriented record label located in Raleigh, North Carolina. Our lastest (and final) CD is the compilation "Handz Of Danz", fourteen tracks of hard rock, fusion, metal and blues from six guitarists named Dan. Our first CD, 'Guitar Haus', was released in 1997 by guitarist-composer Dan McAvinchey. McAvinchey also has written the "The Power To Release" columns in our on-line magazine that can help you to understand the steps that must be taken to release your own record.
Guitar Nine Records is dedicated to the idea that the guitar is probably one of the most expressive instruments ever invented, and with the use of effects and recording techniques, has an unlimited sonic palette. As much as we admit that there are only twelve notes, and all twelve have been played at sometime or another on a guitar, we firmly believe that the surface has only been scratched in terms of the creative uses for guitar and of the sounds that have yet to be discovered. We want to make sure that the quest for new uses for the guitar continues, and is celebrated and encouraged. This on-line magazine is our way of spreading the wealth of creative ideas around the globe and of keeping the guitar as an essential instrument in recordings well into the next century.
We believe there is so much you can do with your guitar playing besides learning riffs however. There are numerous sites on the internet that offer guitar lessons, techniques, licks, etc., but you may wish to explore the possibility of using your abilities on the guitar as a springboard into other areas. You may have a desire to write music, record songs, build a studio, or even release your own CD. We hope that this web site will, over time, inspire you to set greater goals for yourself than you may have ever thought possible.
We would appreciate hearing from you via e-mail if you have any comments or ideas on how to make this web site even better.
