The April-May edition is now online!
Nearly 1500 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!
This edition's guest columnists are writing on topics such as mastering difficult music, viral lines and ear training. We've got six contributed articles altogether - five written by past contributing columnists, and one by a new contributor.
Mike Campese returns with a topical column entitled "Quarantine Lines". Joining us for the first time is Alex Bruce with his article "Intonation: Its Importance And How To Spot Problems". Finally, prolific columnist and guitarist Tommaso Zillio contributes another quadruple shot of columnar expresso: "How To Manage A Difficult Piece Of Music On Guitar", "Ascending And Descending Melodic Minor Scales", "The Simplest Ear Training Exercise For Guitarists" and "The Simplest Ear Training Exercise For Guitarists".
Also, please reread and enjoy a classic column from the Guitar Nine archives, Dan McAvinchey's "The Role of Inspiration".
