RIP magazines. The tutorials in Future Music and Computer Music were excellent. Curated downloads were nice also (and could often be used in the tutorials.) And guitar technique tutorials are basically timeless.

I actually enjoy reading ads (not to mention reviews and tutorials for various products) in music magazines. It's disappointing that companies seem to have switched to junky web ads instead.

One of the things I miss most from physical media is the sense of discovery it brought, we saw ads or unexpected articles related to the magazine thematic, products or services that you didn’t know existed, same with books, browsing the shelves of the bookstore you found something new that drew you attention on the record store flipping vinyls you saw some weird album art and decided to give it a listening. Now you get ads for things you already bought or the same 5 books everyone sees because they’re “trending”, you have infinite music at your fingertips and yet get the same 10 tracks suggested every time.

I’ll miss Guitar Techniques. I feel like they missed the boat and should have integrated with Soundslice…

YouTube has some great players, but I’d often search for guitarists from Guitar Techniques that YouTube algorithms hadn’t played for me yet.
