New Columns

This edition's guest columnists are writing on topics such as the chord tone soloing, guide tones and dynamics. We've got six contributed articles altogether - all have been written by past contributing columnists.

Mike Campese is back with a speed focused column entitled "Ascending Shred Lines". James Rosocha also returns and educates with his new lesson "Guide Tones". Finally, prolific columnist and guitarist Tommaso Zillio contributes a quadruple shot of columnar expresso: "Chromatic Sequences With The Pentatonic Scale", "Chord Tone Soloing", "Using Dynamics In Your Guitar Playing" and "Learning Every Note That Makes Up Every Chord".

Also, please reread and enjoy a classic column from the Guitar Nine archives, Dan McAvinchey's "Thinking Long Term".
