Hi
I've downloaded a couple of Guitarist mags to my IPAD. The January 2013 of Guitarist Deluxe is now available for free!!! Includes the interactive CD content etc.etc. at a fraction of the cost +/- R50 depending on exchange rate. Download size +/- 500MB.
Go e, go green & save em trees for important things like guitars.

Even less! That's what I do. But as for going green I dont know. Pulp is made from cultivated pine trees, no? They eff up the countryside as much as cutting down indigeounous trees does. And I must tell you, it's still a bit strange wandering off to the crapper with the IPAD.
All this gave me an idea. Actually awakened an idea that I had about 10 years ago. What if a few GFSA'rs join forces to produce and publish a SA Guitarist magazine? Doesn't have to be big and fat and glossy for starters, but there is more than enough knowledge and topics/stories on this forum alone to slap together the first few editions. Anybody interested in being part of such a project? PM me, maybe we can brainstorm. How many of you guys would actually buy such a magazine if it's priced under R40 bucks?
I'd buy it if it was well written and edited.
^^That sounds like an idea!
i like the idea ... i would buy ....
but i have to tell ya the magazine game is a tough , very tough and unless u have advertisiers to foot the bills you have financial headaches all the time.happy to brain storm though ...maybe some good ideas bubble up ...
Guitarists are a niche market in the whole of the UK i think Guitarist itself only sells around 30 000 copies....

and I am the same as you. but with the digital you can nogal take a look and see if there's going to be something that interest you before you commit.
Nearly everything on this forum is visible to anybody with a web browser. If you want my money there'd have to be content that I can't get for free, legally, elsewhere. The other side of this coin is that you can't have your contributors sharing their contributions for free - that's sawing away at the branch you're sitting on.Arno West wrote: All this gave me an idea.

Also there is a free magazine distributed via music shops. So, again, I'd need a reason to shell out some actual money.
