I be a noodler as far as guitar playing and I use to like `` Play Guitar ! '' by this publisher until they do away with it . anyway , I take out a subscription to these guy 's mag and pretty much enjoy it most of the time . still miss Play Guitar ! though . man . the problem I have with this mag be there be not enough basic stuff in it for I and it be really , really expensive . also it do have a lot of fingerpicking stuff that it seem like entire issue be dedicate to . that be not all bad though . plus all the equipment review seem to be positive . I have go to Guitar Center to checkout some of the equipment that be review and in my very amateurish opinion find they to be junk which have make I lose confidence in the magazine equipment review . I will not re-subscribe right now simply b\/c it be just too expensive for I . oh - though - the online lesson be pretty cool . come down on the price and I will gladly go for it again , even though I can not use every issue to my advantage .
