New issue of Guitar Techniques is especially good...

THe 'instrumental issue'...

Martin Goulding's got a Lamb of God style-file in there with some really good backing tracks. The metal sections of the magazine have gotten so much better since he took over; almost all his articles have been excellent.
There's also an Albeinez transcription for classical guitar by Bridget Mermikides (with an absolutely stunning performance of it on the CD), a lesson of Holdsworth-style chord-clusters by Shaun Baxter, and transcriptions of Rush and Steve Stevens tunes.

A lot of the recent issues have had some decent ideas. However, last year was a particularly bad year for them, a lot of it was boring blues issues that repeated themselves. But yeah, this issue's great.

Yeah, they did have a patch where the issues became very patchy.

sounds cool I think I'l check it out!

I still regularly refer to Sean Baxter's lesson on the augmented scale from months and months ago!

Yeah, that was excellent. The amount of info he crammed in was just insane.

I don't like the way they do less songs now. They used to have a great mix of songs transcribed but now its only 1 or 2 songs and a bunch of sounds like sections.
As magazines go its pretty much the best as regard to playing. I still have a look through the old issues I have from a few years back. Yhey really tackle things with a lot of description and explanation
