ROCKtober Is Instrumental Guitar Month
A 31 Day Salute To Instrumental Guitarists And Bands Worldwide

Welcome to the October edition of Guitar Nine's on-line magazine. Guitar Nine Records has declared October to be Instrumental Guitar Month, a great time to remember, support, discover, promote, and celebrate the many practitioners of this near-underground musical sub-genre. Tell a friend, open a beverage and enjoy our new guitar-oriented instructional columns, news and information. A total of seven guest columnists have submitted articles on topics of interest to independent musicians. Interestingly, over 180 musicians have written guest columns since 1997.
