The February-March 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 the chord tone soloing, guide tones and dynamics. We've got six contributed articles altogether - all have been written by past contributing columnists.
Mike Campese is back with a speed focused column entitled "Ascending Shred Lines". James Rosocha also returns and educates with his new lesson "Guide Tones". Finally, prolific columnist and guitarist Tommaso Zillio contributes a quadruple shot of columnar expresso: "Chromatic Sequences With The Pentatonic Scale", "Chord Tone Soloing", "Using Dynamics In Your Guitar Playing" and "Learning Every Note That Makes Up Every Chord".
Also, please reread and enjoy a classic column from the Guitar Nine archives, Dan McAvinchey's "Thinking Long Term".
