The new look Total Guitar is bigger and better than ever before. Each issue boasts 180 pages of interviews, reviews and songs to learn, which makes us Europe's biggest and best-selling guitar magazine.

Our Learn To Play section combines Full Tabs and online Video Lessons of the biggest songs in the history of guitar music and the stories behind those songs (often including exclusive new interviews with the people who wrote and recorded them).

Including a Riff Of The Month, each issue offers eight songs for you to learn, each with a backing track on the included CD* and a page of help in which we show you how to get the sound with any set-up. You'll also find Guest Lessons with players such as Joe Bonamassa, Warren Haynes and Steve Lukather, and columns by the UK's two governing bodies, RGT and Rock School, to help you get your grades.

We have increased and upgraded our Gear section, so that as well as the usual Group Test and pages of single-item reviews, you have a regular Head To Head where we pit two similar products against each other to find a winner and a regular round-up of the latest accessories. All our reviews are written in honest, plain English and rated for value so you won't waste your hard earned cash.
