Welcome to the June anniversary edition of the Guitar Nine on-line magazine. June of 1996 marked our entry into cyberspace, and after twenty-four great years, Guitar Nine has become well known for providing a wide variety of free instructional material, news and information. Better guitar tone, double chromatics, and scale connection are just a small sampling of the subjects found in this issue. In total, three guest columnists have submitted six original articles on a range of musical topics of interest to practicing guitarists, bassists and musicians. In addition to reading and mastering the information presented, please sample some great music released by the over 1400 musicians we've worked with over the past 24 years! To date, we've now published over 220 artist interviews, while over 210 musicians and industry experts have written nearly 1200 guest columns for this site since 1996.
