Guitar Buyer Magazine

[Philly Q]

I confess that I still really like Guitar and Bass magazine (formerly "The Guitar Magazine")- I like the workshop articles and read them with interest .

I love the "Private Collection" feature in G&B (although obviously some are more interesting than others).  Probably because it features silly geeks exactly like me with small houses stuffed full of guitars they don't need. 

Of the mags I buy, I find Guitar World least interesting, largely because it features lots of irritatingly brief interviews with American bands I've never heard of.  It's good for transcriptions I guess, but I'm too lazy and incompetent to use them.

The interviews are so brief because it has an insane amount of adverts in it  :lol:

That's true.  I got the new issue yesterday and I must have leafed through 15-20 pages before I even got to the Contents page.  :?

That sounds like a lady's magazine Philly. Are you sure you're not confused?

I'm confused about many things Ian, but not this one!  :P

It is a bit like GQ or something, but instead of a load of chiselled, dimwitted male models advertising flash suits and watches, it's a load of tattooed gormless oiks advertising ESP and Ernie Ball.

+1

G&B is the only 1 I subscribe to and has been the only 1 I've religiously bought for the last 12 years or so.

Of the others I've tried I'd say Guitar Buyer was probably my 2nd favourite. All the other seemed to take a nose dive and concentrate on the same 3 guitarists every other issue or so.

Actually, maybe it is a ladies' magazine after all.... the bloke on the cover looks like some kind of blandola daytime soap actor.  His name's John Mayer or something....

Cheeky - you know I like John Mayer  :)

I quite like Mick Taylor, especially when he does the video reviews on the disk, always nice to have a change from Simon Bradley.

:lol:

i don't actually have a problem with simon bradley. everyone else seems to hate him, though.

to jonathan's/feline's post:

total guitar pissed me off- when i was starting out playing, it was an intermediate magazine (and there were no magazines for beginners). then when i hit intermediate, it changed to a beginners' magazine.

speaking of guitar and bass changing printers... that would explain a lot. My last several magazines feel and smell like they've been coated in industrial solvents before being sent out. :( i still haven't read last month's issue because i open it and instantly get a solvent headache. :lol:

Nooooo - it's Guitar Buyer that has a new printer

I'm sure there is a fetish for the smell of magazine print!

[dave_mc]

touche. I actually meant guitar buyer, just got my wires crossed :oops: . It is indeed guitar buyer that stinks. Mine came today, now I need to make a fume cupboard in my house. :( any ideas? :lol:

guitar and bass doesn't stink, nor does guitarist.

[FELINEGUITARS]

Yes - new copy out now - Big telecaster issue and stuff on Esquires too!

[shobet]

I managed to find a copy on my way back from Birmingham. Ooohh the smell...

Guitar Buyer is great! Guitarist is the same junk every month!
