Were "Guitar World" and "Scrye" first published in the same year?
Guitar World Guitar World is a monthly music magazine devoted to guitarists, published since July 1980. It contains original interviews, album and gear reviews, and guitar and bass tablature of approximately five songs each month. The magazine is published 13 times per year (12 monthly issues and a holiday issue). Formerly owned by Harris Publications, Future US bought the magazine in 2003. In 2012, NewBay Media bought the Music division of Future US. The latter company also published a spin-off title, Guitar Legends, each issue of which typically combined past articles from "Guitar World" under a specific theme.
Chris Freeman (Australian musician) Christopher James "Chris" Freeman (c. 1950–1992) was an Australian multi-instrumentalist and teacher who specialised in six-string and 12-string guitar for classical and flamenco music. At the age of 17 he severed the fingertip of his left hand middle finger in a car accident. It was replaced by a silver cap, which gave him the nickname "Silver Finger". He released three solo albums, "Thesilger" (1976), "Shifting Sands... Night & Day" (1978) and "Best of Chris Freeman" (1991). He also issued four albums with keyboardist John Shaw, "Chris Freeman and John Shaw" (1981), "Synthesized Orchestration" (1983), "Synthesized Orchestration Vol. 2" (1984) and "The Best of Chris Freeman and John Shaw" (1990). Freeman died in 1992 after an asthma attack, aged 41 or 42. Australian musicologist Ian McFarlane described him as a "[g]ifted multi-instrumentalist" who "garnered considerable praise for his work, but he never embraced the notion of mainstream acceptance".
