Hot Summer, Hotter Music
Beat The Heat With The Coolest New Music Available Now
 elcome to the August edition of Guitar Nine Records' on-line magazine. Hot, humid summers are the rule here in North Carolina, but thanks to a useful invention called the 'air conditioner', we've been working as hard as ever. From the headline, you'll notice that music is one of the few things in life that can be both 'hot' and 'cool' at the same time. Fans of instrumental guitar music have a lot to listen to this summer; we've completed 17 new additions to the site in the past two months, including instrumental CDs by Matthew Mills, Carlos Lichman, Patrick Healy, Shouse, Peter Douskalis, Alessandro Cossu, Deluc, Insanitizers, Robert Walker, Steve Beach, Michael Coppola, Taz Taylor Band, George Bellas, Alex Masi, Riccardo Vernaccini and Constantine. You can now listen to and order
1812 instrumental releases by 1155 different artists. More Info Español

Dan McAvinchey
Interview with Stefan Artwin
"If you have gathered some musical experience by actively making music, you listen to music in another way. You are able to hear everything and not only the lead instrument or vocals."

Dan McAvinchey
Interview with Michael Abdow
"I personally love to hear melody and hooks in solos as well as lyrically slow/wide vibrato and story-telling phrasing capped off with shredding licks that make you want to fall to pieces."
