Guitar magazine suscription

[slaughteredsoul]

I was thinking of suscribing to a guitar magazine(Total guitar,Guitar One,Guitar Player,Acoustic Guitar,Etc) but i'm only gonna suscribe to one,which one,in your opinion, shall i go for?
(In terms of it being most educational and entertaining and worth the money paid for it)
As always,thank you:)

I wouldn't subscribe to one. I usually go to the shops once in a month and skim through all their guitar magazines and then buy the one or two that have some articles/tabs that I'm interested in. I don't think there's one "killer" magazine that you should subscribe to.

good advice from gck take a trip to your local mag store and pick the ones you want each month dont bother with a subscription

hmm i dunno

yeah its a good idea to go look at the store...but maybe you can just go look and decide which guitar based mag you like the best? then if there is something you really want you can still buy it separately too... i got a subscription for a mag thru a fundraiser program at my kids school dirt cheap...i spend far less money that way and its delivered to me...if i didnt have it...i probably wouldnt have ANY mag at all....

I think that it is a very good idea to subscribe to a magazine, or 2. For one it is much cheaper to subscribe that buy them in the store. You can get 12 issues for about $20 (US) That is a pretty good price for all of the information that you will find in them every month. It depends on what kind of music that you like, and what you want from the magazine.

Guitar World is a good magazine that is mostly geared toward the more popular modern rock groups. There transcribed songs, lessons and interviews etc.

Guitar One has the same as Guitar World, but is more diverse in the types of music that they cover. You will see blues, jazz, and classical transcriptions as well as modern rock.

Guitar Player does not have any transcriptions, and but is a good resource for interviews and lesson on a variety of styles.

I subscribe to those 3. And I think that all 3 are well done. I have not looked at Total Guitar or Acoustic Guitar.

Thanks everyone.
The reason i wanted to suscribe was because it's really difficult to find those magazines where i live,so the only way for me to read them is by suscribing.
Guitar One appealed to me the most.
