Guitar Techniques.

This is basically the holy grail of guitar magazines, and this is why:

- It covers just about every genre and technique
- Has a wide, varied selections of studies each issue
- Doesn't pander to what's popular at the time
- Provides genuinely eye-opening and progressive lessons that introduce new musical and theoretical concepts
- Teaches one how to apply genre-specific techniques to other situations

For instance, Guitar Techniques just finished running a series of three lessons with the Brazilian metal guitar virtuoso Kiko Loureiro. He talked about arpeggiation, alternate picking and hybrid picking and made clear the importance of making technical exercises into musical ones.
Jazz educations is a regular part of the magazine, where the harmony of complex chords and more specific scales is explained in full, with examples, tracks and musicians that favour them.

I have had a subscription to National Geographic since I was a little kid.

Stop Smiling is probably my favourite magazine. I don't think they have put out a single issue that I didn't find interesting. It's a very visually appealing magazine. I like that they do two covers.

KvP:
That looks really interesting (and it's got Slim Charles on the cover!) can you subscribe outside of Chi-town?

--- Quote from: KvP on 15 Dec 2008, 14:21 ---I like the Economist. It tends to be center-right in its editorial stance but the analysis is pretty excellent. I'll likely get an online subscription once I become a Poli Sci major for reals.

--- End quote ---

Center right for Britain, which is still somewhat left-of-middle for America. They're actually liberal by the standard international meaning in every sense - culturally, internationally and economically.

Anyway, I read the Economist too, and Newsweek. I used to read Game Informer but the subscription died while I was at school and I just never got it renewed. Sometimes I'll read Rolling Stone.
