Dudes, we're revamping our Rock-o-meter (that bit of the mag where TG tells you what rocks and what sucks). The new-look 'o-meter will be written by you, the TG readers, so we want your opinion on what's hot and what's not in the world of guitars and guitar music. The best entry each issue will be highlighted and feature the name and photo of the winner. How cool is that?! Very cool...
To enter send an email titled 'Rock-o-meter' to totalguitar@futurenet.co.uk. Make sure each of your entries is no more than 25 words in length and remember to include your name and hometown. We'll be in touch with the winner to get your photo.
Cheers,
TG
