I have be buy this mag since its inception , I have save many of the issue because the info have be extremely helpful for my guitar playing and be able to read about the pro that i listen to , how they write , play , what they use for equipment have be intertain and informative . they have recently make change in format and write mostly for the better . I espeally apreceate they have more on song writing . as far as i be concerned this be the best guitar mag out there and i be a guitar magazine junky enjoy . John M. Eadie
