I will definitely look for that one! I started reading that magagzine back in 1984!!!!!! My how times change!!!!!

hey rob,, do you still have those issues from back then? I had way too much,, and like a dummy I was,, I started cutting out the tablature that i wanted and trashed the magazines. God knows I wish I would have kept em because I was getting em from 1987. i can remember the issue also. I first learned how to read the tablature from the magazine and my first tune i learned was,, you give love a bad name from bon jovi,, cause it was in that magazine issue.

I kept like everyone and cut ou the tabs I needed only just recently! I moved a couple of times so I had to! I have one full trunk and at least four milk crates full and a few boxes! I stopped subscribing probably back in 98' because I just didn't like the tunes that were out and the tabs were for songs anyone could play. Thats just my opinion! I still pick up an issue here and there if I see a band or song I like!

same here man i stopped awhile back as well! the tuine selection didnt grab me as well at tiomes so now i pick up an issue now and then. i think they should come out with a guitar magazine,,, call it " classic rock guitar for the jamming guitarists"..... just an opinion.
