However one common complaint that seems to span across the majority of guitar magazines is that there just isn’t enough music involved in the magazine. Guitarists do love reading articles about their favorite artists & reviews about new albums but at the same time one the biggest reasons why guitarists flock towards the literary music world is for the improvement of their guitar playing. That’s why Guitar Techniques a monthly guitarist production seeks to make better players by focusing on the real passion of a guitarist: playing guitar. Although this magazine does contain equipment reviews artist news reviews about new albums & other types of rather trite articles Guitar Techniques fills the majority of the magazine with things that will help motivate & educate guitarists about their playing. Each issue contains some of the most accurate musical transcriptions out there while featuring workshops on specific guitar techniques like increasing fretting speed using altered tunings different picking techniques musical theory & many others.
