I beleive Total Guitar or Guitar One? I am not sure which, but one of them costs close o $20(canadian) each issue. Guitarworld is a good one, or the acoustic version is good also. Sometimes I find they transcribe to many of the same type of song. Are there any guitar magazines, with music transcribed, that involve oldies rock?

Thanks for listening to this small piece of me.

I have a subscription to Guitar World and it is OK. If I had discovered Guitar One befor taking out the subscription it would have had my cash as I prefur Guitar One's less Heavy Metal approch / features. I may still take out a sub to GO and let the GW one go.
My instructors page and www.studiotrax.net for all things recording.

Guitar Player, that's the one you want!!
A little off the subject, but has anybody ever seen or read Vintage Guitar Magazine? My friend got me a subscription for Christmas and it's pretty cool if your into gear and guitars. A lot of great articles telling you the differences with different manufacturers and what to look for when purchasing. Plus a lot of great ads featuring stuff I can't afford. 57 les paul, only $100,000.

This is very true about Guitar World, the majority of songs are metal, but often enough they do get some older music. Or my favorite the Rolling Stones issue with Brown Sugar and Honky Tonk Women, occasionaly gutiar World will publish more songs that people know.

I'm in Canada and I stopped buying guitar magazines years ago. I don't see any purpose in paying upwards of $10 or more for information I can just as easily find on the web. Try an experiment sometime, and take a pair of scissors to the advertisements in those magazines and you end up with about a pamphlets worth of information.
Canadian Musician magazine has to be one of the worst wastes of money. Even with all the advertisements it's still just a thin beginners booklet.
Compare that with a free trip to any one of the guitar sites on the web or the host section on Guitar Tricks for example.
I've picked up more useful information from the host section here than I have in 20 years of buying Guitar Player.

Wait a tick. What magaizine are you paying that kinda money for? I'm from Canada too, and I buy Guitar World. I rarely pay over $8.00, unless its some limited eedition thingy, which I rarely buy.
Anywhooo, I usually ignore the Nu Metal articles and songs in GW, and I find lots of stuff that I'm into, like classic rock and the good kind of metal.

I read 'Guitarist' mostly, although guitar mags here in rain-soaked england are ****ing expensive, so i only buy one when its got something that I want in it...sometimes it means buying a different mag, but guitarist usually prevails....and it comes with a free CD :cool:

i gonna go with guitar one, as its not fully of stupid nu metal stuff as much... I like variety of the seventies, eighties, nineties and some two thounsand but not much. Guitar one is better at representing this.

You forgot about the 15% tax and the almost 80 cents/litre it costs to drive into the city.

I mean it usually comes just under $8.00 tax included when I buy a guitar world mag. I dont think I've ever paid like 10 bucks without tax or anything.

I've seen one edition of "Guitar Technique" and it was ace, It included stuff with Jennifer Batten on tapping (proper tapping not kiddies stuff), Preston Reid (percussive funky acou stuff) and some other crazy (and, for a change, beautiful) tapping by T. J. Helmrich. If the other mags are half as good they're FAR better than any other I've seen.
If I couldn't laugh at myself how could I laugh at someone less ridiculous?
