We are starting a links page for great guitar articles.   We decided it would be easier to write a brief summary and link to the articles rather than try to get permission to copy every article.  We will be adding more articles in the near Future.  If you have any suggestions for other articles please send us an email entitled "article suggestion"  with a link to your suggested article.  Our email is Rocknrollvintage@sbcglobal.net.
