“What a ride…” Guitar Techniques magazine is closing after 30 years of in-depth tuition from some of the world’s greatest guitarists

After 30 years in print, Guitar Techniques magazine will cease publication with its December 2024 issue, on sale October 16. The magazine’s archive and its ethos of printing the greatest lesson content from the world’s best players and tutors will continue here on Guitar World.

Founded in 1994 by Neville Marten and Phil Hilborne, the tuition-only magazine was appreciated by many around the world, including modern day influencers and recording virtuosos. Over the years, the magazine’s team included renowned players like Guthrie Govan, Dave Kilminster, Jamie Humphries, Shaun Baxter, Eric Roche and Geoff Whitehorn, with guest contributors including Steve Morse, Paul Gilbert, Martin Taylor and many more.
