Guitarist

The Guitar Player's Bible

About Me

Guitarist was launched in 1984. It’s the longest-established guitar magazine in Europe – and it’s a must-read for players who are serious about their art and craft. Each 200+ page issue is packed with the world’s finest, most detailed and most exclusive gear reviews. Plus, most of the gear is demoed on the covermounted CD so you can even hear it for yourself. Add in-depth interviews with guitar legends and new stars, plus complete tablature and backing tracks for classic tracks and professional lessons from top tutors, and you have Guitarist – The Guitar Player’s Bible.
