I still have about 100 issues left to collect until the victorious and self-completing “I got them!” post 
Total Guitar magazines are my personal favourite among all guitar issues. Guitar Techniques comes closely at second position but still cannot compare with TG.
Each issue offers full transcriptions of classic tracks from all genres, gear review, readers questions answered etc. If you have the full collection and learn the half of the tubbed songs you can easily say that you have become a good guitarist. Each song features different techniques which are very well explained by great guitarists contributing to the mag plus lots of theory and guides.
The only problem is – with my current busy life I will have to either start learning those songs when I turn 60 or become a caffeine junkie/divorced.
I desperately need a solution!
Rispek!
Sorry, I made a mistake. I actually have only 30 issues left to collect.
Rispek to you, sir! That’s a lot of TG’s. Are you still playing regularly? Read the mag lately? We’ve had a bit of a refocus, debuting in the issue on sale June. Would be interested to hear your thoughts on it…

Steve, right now I probably play 2-3 times a week but I always try to grab a TG and learn a lick or two. I’m very pleased you have tabbed quite a few of my all time greatest songs. My playing has improved a lot since I started reading (and collecting) Total Guitar. Showing off my skills in front of a fellow rockhead feels great
I’m looking forward to receiving the next issue. I will provide my feedback.
Keep up the good work!
