The Craft section focuses on guitars and luthiers, the Play section offers tips and advice for practicing, performing, auditioning, and more. The Reviews section is your window to recent concerts and album and sheet music releases.

In the Special Focus on Guitar Festivals & Competitions, seasoned competition veteran Guy Traviss offers advice on audition prep, Thérèse Wassily Saba talks to Tom Kerstens of the International Guitar Festival, and Paul Fowles reports from Denmark’s Aalborg International Guitar Festival.

In the features section Sharon Isbin reflects on a life devoted to classical guitar, Scott Tennant looks back on 35 years of the Los Angeles Guitar Quartet, Marc Ribot Honors his Mentor, Haitian Classical Guitarist Frantz Casseus, and the San Francisco Conservatory’s Guitar Department turns 50 (or is it 66?).
