  Introduction

The February-March edition is now online. With all the news about recessions, layoffs, store closings and bankruptcies, Guitar Nine Records is thriving. In fact, we're even giving away a little money... every day!

Someone Gets A Fiver - Every Day



New Columns

February's guest columnists bring playing ideas, promotion strategies, the music business, and flashy octaves to the table, and cover areas such as guitar technique, marketing and the Internet. We've got eleven fresh articles altogether - ten by returning columnists along with one new contributor. Canadian guitarist David Martone is back with another in his series entitled "Zone Recording: NAMM 2009". Tom Hess returns with a new column for guitarists called "11 Damaging Mistakes Guitar Players Make And How To Avoid Them". Mike Campese delivers another riveting technique column, "Octave Displacement". Paul Tauterouff returns with the third part of his technique article, called "Improving Your Phrasing, Part 3". Guitarist Scott Allen is back with his column entitled "Soloing Strategies, Part 1". Nick Layton also has the third part of his series, "Improving Your Phrasing, Part 3". Guitarist Ysrafel returns with his new column "Tapping: Vertical and Diagonal Patterns". Michael Knight also rejoins us with a great article for the times called "Survival Guide to Lean Times for Musicians". Guitarist Mike O`Malley is back with another technique column, "The Right Hand Is Your Money Maker". New contributors include Andre Tonelli with "The Tree Of Possibility". Finally, indie marketing and promotions expert Tim Sweeney returns with new insights in "What Is Your Web Site Saying About You?".
