Guitar Nine started in 1996 as an online magazine paired with a small record label. Six issues a year for twenty-five years added up to a hundred and fifty of them, the last three issues published in 2021. The e-commerce section of the site sold CDs and DVDs from musicians and bands from all over the world, to customers all over the world, from 1997 to 2012.

Both of those had good runs and reached their finish lines. The writing however never got the memo: 2,622 columns by 240 contributors on technique, recording, songwriting, and the music business — the columns keep coming in. Alongside that sit the legacy of the 1,478 musicians we worked with — from 46 countries — plus whatever the label accumulated over the years. Every bit of it is out in the open — no gates, no logins, no hoops.
