The Guitar Player's Resource
The April-May edition is now online!
Now, 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!
Old-school? A new music release by Twinpicks (with Wolfgang Zenk) is also featured.
Note from Guitar Nine's Dan McAvinchey, "I've been meeting people and forming relationships for over 40 years. Networking tools such as LinkedIn have only been around for a fraction of that time. If we know each other, or we've had a relationship going for a long time as a musician, customer or fan of the site (or should have a new one), let's establish a connection, and a build a bridge to the future."
This edition's guest columnists offer exotic scales, revenue-generating tips and ideas for improving as a teacher directly to your web browser. We've got seven fresh columns altogether - six written by returning columnists and one by a new columnist.
Mike Campese builds on a series with his new technique column entitled "More Sweeping Arpeggio Shapes (You Should Know)". Tom Hess returns with "Improve Your Guitar Teaching, Part 1". Neal Nagaoka is back with your amazing guitar videos in "Neal's Terrifying Young Guns: 7th Edition". Guitarist Tommaso Zillio returns after a break with his article "Should I Be Able to Sight Read Music?". Marketing expert Christopher Knab returns with "Why Are Musicians So Afraid of New Technologies?". Guitarist Michael Knight begins his scales series with "Exotic Scales: The Hexatonic Scale". Finally, brand new columnist Rick Mariner has contributed "Why Block Or "Deck" A Tremolo On A Guitar?"

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.
