Welcome to the August edition of Guitar Nine's on-line magazine. Picking patterns and jazz appreciation are just two of the subjects found in this issue, giving guitarists more ways to improve their playing ability and educate themselves about the business of music. In total, four guest columnists have submitted excellent articles on a range of musical topics of interest to practicing musicians. A new interview with guitarist Pascal Allaigre is also featured. After working through the information and lessons, please sample some great music released by over 1000 musicians we've worked with over the past 21 years! Of note, we've published over 220 artist interviews, while over 210 musicians and industry experts have written close to 1100 guest columns for this site since 1996.
The odds of doing anything significant in the music business are long from the start, but artists who can't think beyond the short term have it thousands of times harder.
