ROCKtober Is Instrumental Guitar Month
Ninth Annual Tribute To Instrumental Guitarists And Bands Worldwide

Welcome to the October edition of the Guitar Nine on-line magazine, and we're celebrating the ninth annual 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 seasonal beverage and enjoy some great music! Songwriting and practice techniques are just two of the subjects found in this issue, giving guitarists more ideas for growth and improvement. In total, eight guest columnists have submitted excellent articles on a range of musical topics of interest to practicing musicians. To date, over 190 musicians have written guest columns since 1997.
