EMTsteve fails to placate the gods of autocorrect, who then mock him.

I'll help fill MinorKey in with the secret info on these two: Billy String was the inventor of the Diddley Bow, an instrument that this picker prizes since some days I can't hit a barn door with my pick. Billy, after being bitten by a radioactive mandolin which cloned him, became Billy Strings. I understand he and his clone now plays a mean guitar with more than one string -- but what with the 20 fingers it must be easy. Normal Blake is another artist after my own heart. I usually cross-pick with a flat pick. On good days I can make some pleasant music, you know like someone with normal talent -- like well, Normal Blake. Norman Blake has a similar name, but is much more talented and accomplished. Acoustic Guitar magazine is keeping these secrets from us. Oh, and Doug Young's contributions here: highly valued by this forum member.

Send them a list of specific things, gear they should review, artists they should cover, topics that need to be addressed. Write an article yourself and submit it, either as an article you'd really like them to publish, or as an example of the writing/design style you prefer. I'm more than happy to send you one of my articles for your editing/critique. It'd be a win/win/win, I'd learn how to write more excitingly (if I understand what you want), you'd have a clear example of what you'd like to see changed to show AG, and AG could see a concrete example of what you think they should do to make their style match your taste. I'm very used to getting my writing sent back to me filled with red ink, I'd be happy to have the feedback. I think all these things would be more actionable by AG than reading complaints, which I suspect would get you further toward your goals.

I think everyone has said what they wanted to say, so I am closing this thread.
