Upcoming GW Ad Featuring Andy Wood & Guthrie

[Ed Yoon]

Here's a sneak preview of an upcoming full-page ad in Guitar World's holiday issue. Thanks to Andy Wood and his management for their help in putting this ad together. The ad is really more about the players than the gear and I like it that way. These guys deserve all the attention that they can get and the Guitar World audience is probably a better target for them than Guitar Player. It definitely has a younger demographic. Guthrie and Andy are generating a lot of buzz in certain guitar circles and deservedly so. I'm happy for them.

Ed,

Great to see Andy getting the attention he deserves he is a class guy.

My only critique is that the background is very busy with the white writing on it and makes it hard to read for me. Not sure if anyone else has the same trouble when looking at the ad?

The ad was put together a bit hastily with a very short notice to meet the submission deadline. All in all, people seem to dig it. It was proposed by Andy's management and it was really Andy's idea to include Guthrie in the ad. As long as the ad helps win some more of the young shred-rock-metal fans of the GW readership to check them out, which in turn encourages them to check out our site and the gear, it's all good for all parties involved.

BTW, at the upcoming winter NAMM, Andy will join Guthrie along with Joel Taylor on drums and Ernest Tibbs on bass (occasional rhythm section for legends like Holdsworth and Gambale) for a clinic-show at Tone Merchants on Jan 16 Sat and another gig at GIT on Jan 19 Tue. Should be some killer gigs.

Thats what I have been waiting to here. I would love to see Guthrie play again. I just have to be patient for another 3 months.

Joel Taylors baddass I think he took Kofi Bakers place for awhile in Chris Polands OHM...

Great ad but why is Andy 'Mr Wood' and Guthrie is just Guthrie Govan?

In my other life I speak at business events regularly and always get introduced as Mr Keenan which shits me no end!

It says MR for both. Did they change it? It is a great ad as said.
