Introduction

The April-May edition is now online!

In addition to perennial favorites such as David Martone (Canada), Philippe Thibaut (Belgium), Wolfgang Zenk (Germany) and Petr Henych (Czech Republic), new CDs from international guitar players continue to pour in, as recent releases from Patrik Carlsson (Sweden), Cristian Regnicoli (France), Dino Fiorenza (Italy), and Roger Pedersen (Norway) will attest.

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."
