Not Just for Metalheads--Even Hollow Body Players Will Get a Bang Out of This

by buffoonery Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Sep 06 '04
Pros: Plenty of articles, song transcriptions, and reviews to keep any axman amused
Cons: Too much profanity, not particularly critical of its subjects

Guitar World

by ChipMcDonald , Jun 13 '00
Pros: It's about playing a musical instrument, an increasingly anacronisitc idea
Cons: biased towards metal bands; too much fluff
I don't buy this magazine anymore.

I don't need transcriptions; I'm a guitar teacher. The magazine leans towards current metal acts, when I generally don't care for. It is too expensive for me to purchase given the small amount of info...
