Guitar magazine question

[Robert]

Our daughter is selling magazines for school. There are only 2 guitar mag options.

1. Guitar Player
   
2. Guitar World

Which one would you pick for a year's subscription?

 

[Tone2TheBone]

Guitar Player definately.

 

[Tim]

Yep, that's my vote too!

 

[Spudman]

I'd have to say Guitar Player too. I had a suscription for about 15 years and perfered the old style of longer articles that the current editions don't have. Still they do a good job.

Guitar World is good too and they have more popular music transcriptions. Still G.P. is the best quality.

I'm not familiar with GP. I had a subscription for a year to GuitarWorld. Besides having delivery problems (which I think have since been fixed) the content seemed to be a bit lacking. For the past year I've been subscribing to GuitarOne which is tons better, IMHO, especially with the CD.

Definitely Guitar Player.

They cover ALL styles of music in just about every issue, one way or another. There's quite a few lessons, tons of gear reviews, etc etc

The new format is growing on me.

 

[Robert]

GP is okay, but some of the authors have a writing style I am not a big fan of. The Molenda guy... I flip the page as fast as I can when I see anything written by him. But GW is no better.

 

[fender tele]

I agree....Molenda tries WAAAYY too hard to be "hip"....or something. He loves to point out that he was into punk music & played in punk bands, etc etc

Guitar Player it is then. The drawback is I will get hit badly by GAS once a month when the new mag dumps down in my mail box. All these new shiny amps and geetars and stomping boxes - oh my! My signature is probaly long enough as it is. Oh well, why fight an addiction that isn't causing bodily harm (not to me anyway)?

Robert, once I actually get a new scanner I can send you Fuzz scans. That magazine (sorry guys, Swedish only) is the best guitar mag ever.

 

[Robert]

Swede, that is too kind of you and not really necessary. It sounds like a lot of work.

 

[SuperSwede]

I havent got a scanner yet, but I´m going to scan a few stuff for another guy. But probably not before christmas

Robert, once I actually get a new scanner I can send you Fuzz scans. That magazine (sorry guys, Swedish only) is the best guitar mag ever.

Fuzz scans? Come on. So far we have been able to keep this forum clean and now you want to send Fuzz scans! Yeesh!!

 

[Robert]

I think SuperSwede is talking about the mag with those females with very "non-wintery" clothes playing guitars...

 

[SuperSwede]

Ouch!
Its almost as hot, its a swedish guitar magazine. Very good one, dont you think Robert?

Ps. the more fuzzy kind of magazines will be sent by regular mail only

 

[Robert]

Yes, Fuzz is a great magazine. I buy it every time I go to Sweden.
