Guitar For The Practicing Musician Archive

[The-Kid]

I had subscriptions to GFTPM, Guitar World, Guitar Player, and others. I miss those days.

Guitar World was great.

Back in the 00’s my buddy’s band had a string of dates opening for Dickey Betts and when they came up to New England I joined them for a couple shows just to hang out. Andy was playing with Betts on that tour and I was more excited about meeting him than I was Betts just due to all his articles/transcriptions I’d seen for years. Betts just stayed on his bus, like the entire time, but Andy would hang before/after shows. Really fun dude to talk to, very laid back and humorous.

No way! That's awesome.

You have some stories man.

Andy's a legend.... and gave so much to young punks like us.

I'm looking for some new music. This seems like a good deal?

Browsing through this archive, I think I’m enjoying the ads more than anything else.

Watch out! They'll come after you if you don't pay!

Watch out! They'll come after you if you don't pay!

Yeah, ask my parents about that.

“But they said it was only $0.01!”

I remember going for the thrash version of that ad out of a metal magazine, and that was my introduction to Sepultura. I remember feeling like I had entered a different realm of music.

Not sure who all was involved in the effort to track down, archive, and provide all this but this is real work.

I owe my love of guitar to magazines like these that inspired me to continue to learn in an environment that was not at all structured for such a thing.

I’d happily contribute a couple dollars to this effort if there’s a way.
