Contents

A typical issue of Guitar Player includes in-depth artist features, extensive lessons, gear and music reviews, letters to the magazine, and various front-of-book articles. Readers have often expressed their appreciation of Guitar Player's policy of featuring many styles of guitarists, as opposed to other magazines, typically dominated by rock music (much because the guitar per se has become very associated, or almost inherent, to rock). It has been published since 1967, and therefore celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2007.

Guitar Player TV

In May 2006 the Music Player Network partnered with TrueFire TV to launch an internet-based television station for guitarists. It provides content similar to that of the magazine such as interviews and lessons. Guitar Player TV is provided at no cost to the user due to advertising and sponsorship.
