RIP GuitarOne

[marnold]

Apparently the issue I just received of GuitarOne (with Alex Lifeson on the cover) will be the last one. When they dumped the CD two months ago to move everything online, they extended my subscription to June 08. I'm not sure what I'll be getting. If it's Guitar World, I'm not sure I want it. Any suggestions? I really like GuitarOne so this is bumming me out a bit.

If they give you a choice go for Vintage Guitar magazine. My friend Pete Prown (Guitar Garden) is a contributing editor.

Crap! I'm subscribed to both of them.............

I paid for my subscription two months ago. Great.

Yes, that's a good one.

I used to subscribe to Guitar One, Guitar Player, Vintage Guitar but my new favorite is Premier Guitar. You can get a free copy by going on line to their website to see if you like it. Subscribers can pull any issue up on the internet as well.

While on the subject, what ever happened to "Guitar for the Practicing Musician" and "Guitar School" magazines? I've got loads of copies from the late 80s and early 90s, but after that the seemed to have disappeared. (ot at least in my eyes).

People still read magazines?

GftPM was my favorite back in the day. It eventually became--you guessed it--GuitarOne.

Wow, that looks pretty sweet. I'm going to have to investigate that further. Thanks for the tip!

Yes & books too.

Welcome to the stone age.

We still play real guitars here.

Just for the pictures.

Put down the keyboard and step away from the computer!

If they haul you to the hoosegow I know a good attourney. Krashpad, were gonna need you unless this boy catches up on his Guitar Player reading...pro bono of course.

 

[duhvoodooman]

Maybe Sun & Krash can both get arrested and then they can do that quid pro quo thing lawyers are always talking about!. Lordy, I do love talkin' LATIN on TheFret! E Pluribus Unum! Semper Fi! Vincebus Eruptum!

 

[sunvalleylaw]

Carpe skiem!

 

[Spudman]

And they both are amicus curiae. Unless the judge doesn't like them.

So much for the Guitar One thread.

 

[tot_Ou_tard]

Carpe skiem!

Which will land you right back in the hoosegow, Sunvalley!

So much for the Guitar One thread.

& the magazine too, from what I hear.

Just to resurrect this thread momentarily, I decided to subscribe for a year to Premier Guitar. When/if I get something from Future about my GuitarOne subscription, I'm going to cancel instead of getting Guitar World or whatever they're offering. Future's shipping department blows. I've had to have one copy of G1 sent to me again--and it actually made it to me. When I subscribed to Guitar World I had at least four issues that never made it to me. Eventually, I got all but one and that was after it was supposedly sent to me at least three times.

As a self-avowed guit-mag junkie, I haven't really liked the GuitarOne mag all that much - having said that, I hate to see it pass as I'd been buying them and sharing them with students since the very first issue of it's distant past name of Guitar for the Practicing Musician... hate to see it go.

Edit to say - I've been getting Premier Gtr and dig the general vibe of the thing.
