- Wonderful Improvements
Guitar Player has become a wonderfully diverse and intelligent voice and advocate for new, and generally less heard styles and talent. Lately they have featured many terrific artists that are just under the pop culture radar. I find myself running to the computer to check out 4-5 new artists per month based on GP advice. In addition, their features are not glib, puff pieces, but detailed, literate and informed journalism. GP is going way beyond the hip flavor of the month or showing (yet again) some standard Hendrix lick. I think that GP has intelligently responded to the glut of free tab on the internet. There is no longer any need to waste print or editorial space on the Free Bird solo, as you can download the tab in seconds. Instead, they are introducing and championing fantstic players whose work is too difficult or demanding for the average 15 year old tabber. Don't get me wrong there are excellent articles ...

- Its more than the beginner or mainstream guitarist needs
I've subscribed to Guitar Player for a little over a year now. It seems like a great magazine that attempts to cover all of the bases of guitar playing. It has reviews and interviews with everyone from pretentious guitar heros to down-to-earth acoustic players and punk rockers. There are quite a lot of ads but they are expected for such a magazine. There are CD reviews based off of the guitarist's aspect also.

Although there are not complete song tabs there is a section that aims to improve aspects of guitar playing taught by acomplished musicians (Rusty Cooley, Robben ford, and some more). I personally prefer this over full song transcriptions because these improve personal playing instead of simply copying what some other muscian has done; thereby leaving room for innovation instead of emulation.

This magazine has a lot to cover, so it tries to be eclectic and thorough. It interviews ... Read More

- Better than the rest
Let me say at the outset that I'm not a big fan of tab. Figuring out songs on your own provides a greater lesson than simply following along with tabs. Besides, there are scores of free tab sites on the web, so if you really need to know how to play a song and can't figure it out on your own or simply don't have the time, get to surfing.
That brings me to one of the reasons I subscribe to this magazine - e.g. the absence of pages and pages of song tabs. In addition to the lack of clutter that comes with tab, I also like the buzz section, the album reviews are excellent, the gear stuff gets a bit much, but what else would a guitar playing magazine feature? Most of all, the articles/interviews are better than the others because they don't seem as juvenile. I get the feeling that Guitar One et al are going for the teen player audience (if you need evidence, check out the Top 200 Guitar Albums issue) and, while GP ... Read More
