Do you read or subscribe to guitar world?

i used to subscibe to guitar for the practicing musicain years ago, but not no more.

I have a stack of gw to my cieling,90-2001 and 06-07,cant afford it no.more though.

I also did very many years ago....I pick one up now and then

I don't but was thinking about it. I know I used to love reading Modern Drummer when I played drums regularly, I imagine I would love reading a quality magazine about guitars as well.

I don't know if we have Guitar World in England but I subscribe to Total Guitar, and for subscribing I got a free Danelectro battery powered miniamp: http://www.google.co.uk/products/catalog?q=danelectro+hodad&hl=en&prmd=ivns&resnum=4&biw=1041&bih=652&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=10953838730322726970&sa=X&ei=AjnGTcmJDZKv8QOvgNH2Bw&ved=0CFUQ8gIwAA#

Awsome!!! mini amps rule!

I wish,but here the damn things are freakin expensive,i rather watch youtube

Guitar World is the only reason I have any kind of skill. Ive been for a subscriber for about 3 years.

^^^ lol same

Dang, is it really that good of a mag? I need to get a subscription then!

The old ones are good,the new ones are great! right sime of the writers are john5 ,and chris broderick,plus you.get.the scoops on.all the latest.music shyt and gear....look at me i sound like a saleseman.

If it's anything like Total guitar it'll be good, Paul Gilbert did a 5 or so lesson streak in total guitar, it has tabs to songs and a nail a technique in a month section which starts off with easy exercises and works up.

in deep is a great column. I spend the most time on those lessons

i havent got a new one in awhile,but i like the betcha cant.play this,i can always play em(cept chris brodericks,prick).

I use to get it but never renewed my subscription. It's great! There use to be a Guitars of the year issue but I hav'nt seen it.

The magazine has really gone to **** the last few years, especially compared to the other magazines you can pull off the shelf. But for some reason I still buy 'em almost every month.

Rock on!

what magazines do you guys recommend? Ive been looking for more.

I like guitar player.

TOTAL GUITAR... don't know if it's in the states but it's 180 pages long monthly magazine with reviews on albums, new bands, exercises, gear reviews and it has tab+sheet music for 8 songs with backing tracks every lesson.

Also guest columnists like paul gilbert, john petrucci, joe bonhamassa, tommy emanuel etc giving lessons which are available as videos on the disk that comes with it.

Also my last issue came with a 5% off next purchase from dolphin music and usually when you subscribe you get a free gift. Don't know what the free gift is now but when I subscribed it was a danelectro mini amp.
