i'll check it out in 6 months when the smell has gone. :lol:

I have not got guitar buyer for a while now.  Used to find it not a bad read but lots of reviews of guitars where they did not make left handed versions kind of made me only buy ocassionally.   

What I did buy this month was guitar player.com magazine. I really enjoyed it  and found it a much better read than this months guitarist.   One thing that shocked me was how cheap subscription to it in the states was $15 a year.  Anyway I went online and checked out how much for delivery to uk.  12 months subsription is $15 + $25 delivery  aproximatly £25.  I hada moments madness and paid for 12 months.   Time will tell if its a good move or not. For those of you that have had enough of guitairist magazine,  guitar player.com magazine may be one to check out as a cheaper alternative.

Time will tell if continues to be more enjoyable than guitarist for me.

Is guitar player.com different from the normal Guitar Player magazine?

(That's a genuine question, not being sarcastic!  :) )

[roland_rat]

I beleive they are the same think they have just added the .com bit to the name. Im guessing to give more expose to the website though could be wrong .


Philly never thought you were being sarcastic.

Philly, sarcastic? never...

(sarcasm intended) :)

Lowest form of wit. 

But no, it was a serious question.  I've been buying Guitar Player for nearly 30 years, but I thought they might've launched a spinoff I didn't know about.

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

Out of curiosity I browsed one in smiths today, it really does smell quite strongly. Content seemed good though.

I'm beginning to think I'm not a 'real' guitarist... I have one main guitar (and one as a gigging backup), one pedal that I use in front of my amp, and I've never so much as thumbed through a guitar mag, let alone actually bought one.
But then I see the utter disgrace that is the telecaster, and realise I'm in the right after all :D

i was wondering where you'd been. so many new tele threads popping up nowadays, and no complaints from Roo! what gives!

[WezV]

he is probably mad at me - i have made 5 tele's in the past year and not a single other vociferator :)

Roo

Welcome back Roo, I've kinda missed yer :D

You don't need to worry - I don't read the guitar mags either...

All you really need is one of those Wez tele models and you'll have nothing to worry about at all, old chap... (and as a side-effect, you'll look more manly and the wimins will fall at your feet... :lol:)

Just seen the recent ABC figures for Guitar magazines

ABC, the press and event auditing service, has released its 2009 figures, which show a general decline across the board for magazines, with specialist music titles flowing with that trend:

total guitar - 40k
guitarist - 31k
guitar techniques - 22k
guitar and bass - 12k
guitar buyer - 4k

I'm surprised TG is that far ahead of the others.

I've been looking for a copy of guitar buyer but can't find one anywhere! I've checked loads of newsagents, WH Smith, Sainsburys etc but with no luck. Perhaps Roo has bought every copy of the latest edition

4k for GB - is that all  :o

I subscribe so I don't know how hard it is to get hold of...
