FajiiNako Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The guitar world lessons are normally pretty good when they first start out. As the lessons go on, they run out of stuff to talk about, and just teach people how to play their songs. Zakk's column used to be pretty good when it first started up. He went through scales, picking technique, pinch harmonics (of course), improvisation, and a bunch of other stuff. Joe Satchriani had a pretty good column as well. Well it was kind of boring, but if you could get through it, then you would learn a lot. He did a lot of theory. Even Kirk Hammett's column was kind of useful... until Newstead left. Then it turned into 3 months of why he left lol. But yeah, its pretty rare to get a good lesson article out of there. What i do like a lot are the "betcha can't play this" articles pretty hard stuff in there (for me anyway.) You also have to take into account that they get the artists that are currently popular at the time to write columns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canuckguitarist Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 The lessons in Guitar Player are really helpful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP Posted March 21, 2004 Report Share Posted March 21, 2004 Guitar Player is the way to go. In 10 years, you'll leaf through an old copy and find a lesson that's still relevant and useful. I broke down and finally got a subscription. The first copy will arrive at the beginning of next month, I believe. I'll still buy Guitar World on a per-copy basis if they have an interesting article or a song I've particularly wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
westhemann Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 i also prefer guitar player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Headen Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 I've never gotten guitar player. Never really checked it out. I get GuitarOne. I love the columns in there. Something for everybody. Some of it's really tough, and some of it's really simple (ie alternate picking). Lots of theory too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLS Posted May 28, 2004 Report Share Posted May 28, 2004 Zakk's, Dimebag and Kerry King's column i enjoy alot. The palm muting is too teach beginners... they dont just jump into complicated stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
