Happy New Year to you all, and a belated welcome to the new and improved Alloutguitar.com! Regular visitors to Alloutguitar.com will notice a whole load of changes - and all of them hopefully for the better... as ever, let us know what you think.

So what's new? Well, we've streamlined the whole magazine to make sure that it's more intuitive, user friendly and over the next few months we will be steadily introducing new levels of interactivity throughout the site.

For the second year in a row Alloutguitar.com are exhibiting at The London Guitar Show www.londonguitarshow.co.uk April 27-29 at London Excel.

We have a bigger and better positioned stand than last year at Stand 212, so come down and have a chat – after months of work the new much improved Version 2 is launching in May so we are here to introduce this to the industry, catch up with some old mates, meet lots of new guitarists, companies and punters, quaff lots of ale and generally have a great time.

To all fellow members of the guitar industry: welcome to alloutguitar.com. We intend to provide a new platform for you all to reach more guitar fans and players the world over.

We exhibited at ‘The London Guitar Show’ in May 2006 to overwhelmingly positive effect. Yet some industry figures (not, I hasten to add, the actual publishers themselves) seemed to think that the established magazines might take offence that some upstarts are trying to take them on. But regrettably, they were failing to see the point.
