New Columns

This edition's guest columnists are writing on topics such as negative harmony, connecting scales and soloing (with just 4 notes). We've got six contributed articles altogether - all written by regular contributing columnists.

Mike Campese returns with an article entitled "Connecting Scale Patterns". Prolific columnist and guitarist Tommaso Zillio contributes four more useful articles, "Guitar Solos: Is Only 4 Notes Really Enough?", "When Music Theory Is Confusing". "Can Hand Size Hold You Back From Playing Guitar?" and "Negative Harmony Explained In A Simple Way". Finally, returning with another "Influences" column is Dan McAvinchey with "Influences: Jimmy Page".

Enjoy a blast from the past with a classic column from the Guitar Nine archives, Dan McAvinchey's "Self-Release Q&A, Chapter 1".

Our new series is entitled "Guitar Nine Focus", which gathers excellent columns written within a chosen area of focus. This time, the spotlight is on riffs.
