Guitarist (magazine)

Guitarist is a monthly music making magazine published by Future Publishing in the United Kingdom. The magazine features reviews of newly released guitars, amplifiers and other equipment, plus interviews with guitar players, features on the guitar industry, news articles, and features on playing technique that are accompanied by tablature. The magazine covers both electric and acoustic guitar playing and each month has a comprehensive reviews section that aims to cover the definitive guitars and gear that have released that month. While regularly covering both low- mid- and high-end products, Guitarist's main review will often be of an expensive and rare instrument. In addition to the guitars, amplifiers and accessories, the magazine regularly reviews electric basses. Guitarist's slogan and mission-statement is "The Guitar Player's Bible". Musically, Guitarist has traditionally focussed on classic rock, blues, and folk, but in recent years has come to incorporate alternative rock and heavy metal, featuring artists such as Tony Iommi, John Mayer and Kirk Hammett on the cover. Guitarist was launched in 1984, making it the longest-running guitar magazine in Europe. In 2008 the magazine celebrated its 300th issue and in late-2009 it celebrated its 25th Anniversary
