Huh now that's what I call success, sent an email to Guitarist when I was still excited about the KT Tunstall gig I saw here in Brussels, and now they printed the mail word for word, an email in English by a German bloke (says: CJ via email) :lol:
-
wow :) That's pretty cool! :)
I subscribe to Total Guitar, but I do occasionally buy Guitarist, so I might pop out and buy one, and see the message. :)
-
so you wrote the one about kt tunstall? nice! :)
-
I read that - didn't know it was you! Congratulations! lol
also saw Bainzy's name in the recent past in the forum chat section.

Ah, my Bible for £5.25!
Congrats on the print Hunter!

Does anyone else think it's a MASSIVE rip-off? Guitarist is good, but not THAT good.
Luckily my gf pays for my subscription :P

Well, it's only a quid or so more than the others I get (Guitar & Bass, Guitar Player and Guitar World) and only one of those has a CD. And I haven't counted, but it seems to have more pages and more "content" generally than the others.
Anyway, I have to buy it to maintain my complete collection. :oops:
-
It's expensive, but I value their opinion more than anyone elses and they have the good stuff in there regarding articles/interviews/reviews etc. There are good things in other mags, but I find them a bit hit and miss.
If only they could permanently stop Simon Bradley demo-ing stuff I'd be even more happy :wink:
-
well, i mean of course it'd be preferable if it cost 20p a month... :lol:
-
So that was you Hunter! I thought, ah some likes her :wink: when i read it.
I saw her last weekend at Hyde Park and she does have an impressive guitar collection.
-
KT Tunstalls live solo looper stuff is quite good though I dont really like the music a lot its better when she does it like that than on the record with a full band.

Sometimes it can seem a little bit pricey, but compared to other mags, I would say the content is of a much higher standard, and can be very interesting.
The others I occaisionally buy are Guitar Buyer and Guitar and Bass Mag, which are ok, but are a lot shorter. I used to buy Guitar World, but after careful consideration, i decided i didn't need that many adverts in one magazine.

+10,000!!!
They should give us the gear and let us do the demos. Simon always manages to make even the best gear sound brittle and thin :lol:

As long as you only buy the ones on your mother tongue ... but seriously, i buy occasionally German Gitarre & Bass (quite good) which IS my mother tongue, but Guitarist is the best!! I also red from time to time a French one, here in Belgium, when the GAS is really bad, it helps a bit as a quick fix :)

You will be pleased to know an interview with KT is on page 40 of the September issue

I don't recall seeing that. Is it the issue with John Mayer as the cover photo?
-
That's the last one. The new one just came through my door this morning and as usual I've read it in an hour and now have to wait another month. Its main feature is "50 years of the Fender Jazzmaster" and some stuff on the Moog guitar.
There's a feature in Frontend about the new Peavey Vypyr amp range which I have a small chance of trying out in work over the next week or so. Fingers crossed I'm in on the right day.
-
Wahey - will be expecting mine to be on my doorstep when I get home! I always have the same problem in that I read it in the first few hours and then have to wait a whole month! I always read the gear review section first - not sure why though as I often can't afford to buy what they are reviewing.
Not sure about that Moog guitar. Looks really ugly to me.

I think it's pretty expensive but I still buy it as soon as I see it every month. It is definitely the best magazine, I think they have got the balance right with the interviews / reviews / lessons. It sometimes seems as if they are reviewing a PRS every month and amps that cost the same as a small hatchback, but we all need to know how far we can take our GAS.
I especially like the long term tests, except for the Baja one that concluded it had too many switches. :(
+1 for SB not doing the reviews!
-

i used to do that, so i forced myself not to read it all on the first day i bought it. Now the problem i have is that i often don't manage to read the whole issue before the next one comes out... :lol:

Simon Bradley is a wimp. He is just not at all rocknroll, and his clips always sound brittle and thin, further he plays like someone who started guitar last spring.
If ever I unsubscribe, he will be the reason.

Well said!! I think he's a bit of a w**ker to be honest. He is a shite guitarist. They should invite guitarists from bands to check out the new gear. At least have someone who can play with a bit of groove instead of the speccy tw@t geek riffs that yuppie comes up with!

Do they have yuppies in Birmingham? :?

Crikey, on another board I'm on another guy also got a letter in the issue. The one about the pink Marlin.

As a guitarist I rate myself on a sliding scale between shitee and very shitee. I'm pretty sure I could do a better job than SB though.

Don't think I could. Guess that makes me very very shiteee. :lol:

Thanks chaps. Have you noticed it adds another "e" every time you quote the word "shite"? :lol:

How very strange. I thought I had added only one "e" as well - maybe I'm not going mad after all.

My copy costs me over £100 every month (pah!)

I take it that's because you advertise with them :D
-
the word 'Sh!te' contains the word 'Sh!t'. an extra 'e' is added to the word 'Sh!t' to make it 'sh!te' thus, we have shitee :)
-
Just how much less offensive is "shite" than "shite" without an 'e'?

I think they can be equally effective, in the right context.
It's hard to think of an example, but one instinctively knows when something is right.

Yes I agree Philly, for example I always thought the Sherry 'Croft Original' tasted like shiteee being more of a Port chap myself! :lol: But I am told by some Sherry drinkers in Moscow that 'c--kburns' tastes like shite. What do you reckon?

I'd say QC - there's no better tasting British sherry fortified wine.
"So I come from Mosc--k?"
"Yes, I think you probably do."
