Guitar World would be nothing without guitar players, and we’re always looking for ways to encourage positive discussion around playing, music and the gear we use to make it. We could probably spend some time laboring over a ‘feedback’ gag, but we’ll cut to the chase – we’re excited to announce that commenting is now available on GuitarWorld.com.
Comments sections can be tricky places to navigate but they can also reflect the absolute best of their communities – and that’s nothing less than our intention for GW.
We want this to be the best place for talking about every aspect of life around six-strings. A place where guitarists and bassists can share their passion, knowledge and insights. To discuss everything from the hottest gear at NAMM, to must-hear players and those ‘I was there’ moments.
Above all, we just want it to be a place where players can talk and take part in shaping Guitar World – and, more importantly, the guitar industry and guitar music – for the better.
As we launch, then, we ask everyone to please keep that in mind and, if and when there are disagreements, to keep it respectful.
Not every comment needs to be a debate – it’s fine to just talk! – but everyone who comes in with a spirit of supporting other players will have a place here.
We want to build a community that you’re proud to recommend to others and we can only do that together. We’re looking forward to seeing some of the surprising, thought-provoking and enthusiastic conversations that we have with readers in our inboxes find a new home here.
Though, of course, we’re still not above the odd email…
