We're Celebrating Our 17th Anniversary
Eight Guest Columnists Contributing To June-July Issue
June-July 2013
 elcome to the June edition of Guitar Nine's on-line magazine. June of 1996 marked our entry into cyberspace, and after seventeen great years, Guitar Nine has become well known for providing a wide variety of free instructional material, news and information. To celebrate, eight guest columnists have submitted excellect articles on a range of musical topics of interest to independent musicians. To date, over 190 musicians have written guest columns since 1997.
Be sure to visit the Guitar Nine iTunes download page, which features over 1000 instrumental guitarists, guitar-oriented guitarists and guitar-heavy bands selling downloads through Apple's iTunes site.
Last edition's survey results are in! We asked respondents if they had ever written articles of an instructional nature for web publication. An amazing 71% of respondents have at one time or another contributed their knowledge through a web site or blog - great job! We've got a new, very simple, anonymous survey that you can answer in about five seconds to let us know how much you've spent on downloadable music over the past year.
This edition's guest columnists offer tips on chord mastery, writing songs, live performance, and other music business tips directly to your web browser. We've got eight fresh columns altogether - six written by returning columnists and two authored by first time contributors.
Mike Campese delivers a new technique column entitled "Bach Cello Suite No. 1". Tom Hess returns with "How To Teach Guitar Students To Practice". "How To Know If You Have Mastered Vibrato On Guitar" is the latest from Mike Philippov. Guitarist Tommaso Zillio returns with his article "Six Things Guitar Players Don't Understand About Music Theory". Ryan Buckner is back with his column "Write Better Songs On Guitar By Avoiding These 3 Songwriting Errors". Finally, Paul Kleff rejoins us with his contribution, "Guitar Chord Change Mastery - How To Play Complete Songs". New columnists include Jeremy Rouse with "Open String Licks", and Ryan Duke, who has written "Building Confidence in Your Live Performance".
The June update includes a new interview with guitarist Mika Tyyska of the band Mr. Fastfinger.
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.
As you can see, our overall mission continues to be to help you to achieve your musical goals, whatever they may be.
 Guitar Nine is an online guitar e-zine site located in Raleigh, North Carolina. From 1997 through early 2012, we operated a full-blown e-commerce site and record label selling instrumental and guitar-oriented CDs. Our final CD was 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 for our on-line magazine.
Guitar Nine 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 album. 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.
