The October-November edition is now online!

Over 1100 instrumental guitarists, guitar-oriented guitarists and guitar-heavy bands are selling downloads through Apple's iTunes site. Every click-through supports the work done on this site!

One of our newest site sponsors is Andy Martin, who offers guitarists (wherever they may be in the world) the chance to take private lessons with him using Skype.

New Columns

This edition's guest columnists are writing about shred lines, rhythmic variations and promotion, all delivered directly to your web browser. We've got seven fresh columns altogether - all written by by returning columnists.

Mike Campese continues his technique focus with his article "Wider Type Shred Lines".

Finally, independent music consultant Chris Knab is back with "Design Simple, But Effective Music Promo Materials".

New Interviews

The Rediscovered
