Without watching the video yet, there are still so many Guitar mags, whether anyone finds the time to learn all the tabbed songs and exercises in there is a different story, I certainly don't.

I was a subscriber to Guitar Player magazine for decades. I stopped when I realized it had changed and veered off course and was mainly advertising. The in depth stories were not nearly as good as they had been. I had kept every single copy from the very first one thru the last. I eventually sold the entire collection.
It was a great resource for a young guitar player to read about the gear other's were using and learning the back stories and struggles of so many of the players. Frampton, Billy Gibbons, Vai, Santana, Charlie Daniels, Robin Trower, Nancy Wilson, Leslie West, Les Paul, Chet Atkins, BB King, Wes Montgomery, and hundreds more.
You can find my music at: www.herbhartley.com Add nothing that adds nothing to the music. You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
The magic you are looking for is in the work you are avoiding.
Many of the music magazines I used to subscribe to, Guitar Player, Keyboard, Electronic Musician, PC World, and others were always vehicles for advertising. Many of the feature articles/reviews were always covert advertisements, but as time went by, more and more of the featured articles became advertisements, and the informational/instructional articles became fewer and fewer.
One month, many years ago, I think it was Keyboard magazine, they reviewed my BiaB styles and recommended buying them. I didn't ask for that, but I suppose because I was giving them hundreds of dollars in ad money, they thought it was a good idea to help me in return. The review was fair, but I don't think they would have done it if I wasn't a regular advertiser.
As the mags became more ad oriented, I went from reading cover-to-cover to scanning. Many of them I got for free because I used to run classified ads promoting my Band-in-a-Box aftermarket software, and as time went on, I would have dropped my subscription if I was paying for them.
Then came the Internet, where you could get the information you wanted, when you wanted it, and the tree-ware mags started disappearing.
Some of the old mags have Internet presence now, and others are just a fond memory.

Times change.
Such a shame. I'd guess that there's still a market for a high-quality mag (digital or paper) that drills deep into, learning, production, performance and gear.

I used to get both Guitar Player and Keyboard Magazine, but like several have said they turned into more ads than content so I quit getting them. Plus I realized that none of what I was reading had even the tiniest thing to do with my playing. That still, and will always, come down to putting in the time and the repetitions. No articles are going to be a substitute for practice time.
I am using the new 1040XTRAEZ form this year. It has just 2 lines.
1. How much did you make in 2023? 2. Send it to us.
One magazine that is available (for FREE! in the US) is +++ TapeOp +++ . Back in the days when tape recorders were king the tape operator, or tape-op, was the person that operated tape recorders during a mixing or recording session. Now days +++ TapeOpe +++ is one of the few magazines that is still available with lots of editorial content.
The publisher of all my main mags (Guitar Player, Bass Player, and Keyboard magazines) retired. I even got to correspond with him privately. The quality of all of them has gone way downhill, they being as concerned with product placement as they are with artist interviews or any of the other old columns they used to run. I even subscribed to BP for a year, but it was no good.
Even the electronic music mags I used to enjoy have become unreadable, although for entirely different reasons.
Sorry.
"My primary musical instrument is the personal computer."
I learned a lot about MIDI in the early days via Keyboard and Electronic Musician. But I guess once a subject is covered well, there is no need to keep writing about it.
Although the product reviews can be covert advertisements, it doesn't mean they are negative. I read about the Yamaha WX7 Wind MIDI controller in Keyboard (or another mag) and gave it a try. I'm using the 3rd generation now (WX5) and it's an essential part of my gig gear.
I saw ads for Band-in-a-Box in those mags, gave it a try, and it enhanced my life. It also gave me a second part-time business (side-hustle in today's terms).
All these things can be done on the Internet these days. However, the “menu” is huge and there is a lot of disinformation out there. In the Magazine era, we knew who to trust, and we had new products announced to us by the reviewers we trusted.
On the other hand, they are no longer cutting down trees for that purpose.
I used to get Guitar Magazine and Keyboard Magazine. I remember when they came with a little vinyl record in them that you played on your turntable! I used to pickup a copy of Down Beat every once in a while for jazz stuff.
Now I only get Premier Guitar magazine. I skip over a lot of it but it does have some interesting articles on guitars and basses. A lot of the musicians they feature are not on my top ten list but I do listen to many of them via youtube to make my decisions.
I much rather get it as a magazine instead of a digital copy. I prefer reading magazines and books over reading from a screen. I know I'm old!

<...snip...> I much rather get it as a magazine instead of a digital copy. I prefer reading magazines and books over reading from a screen. I know I'm old!
I like to read books and magazines on paper better than on-line. It just seems to be more convenient.
I get the local newspaper to keep up with events that affect my gigging business. I get the physical paper twice a week, and on-line the other days.
Here is the comparison.
Paper newspaper:
Take the plastic bag off
Open the paper and read
Digital newspaper:
Open the tablet
Enter the password
After it boots up, 'click' the newspaper icon
Click the X to get rid of the pop-up ad that covers 90% of the screen
Click sign-on
Enter my username and password
Do that stupid CAPTCHA thing from one to 4 times, depending on Google's mood for the day
Wait for the page to load, the ads come first, then the menu
Click e-newspaper in the menu bar and wait up to 10 seconds
Click the X for the next ad that covers 75% of the page
A choice box drops down for about 5 seconds. Since the paper is related to three counties, I have to click the one I want to read while the choice box drops down
Optional: (If the ad doesn't disappear in time, the choice box disappears. Then I have to click the editions box on the sidebar, wait for the dialog box to load, click my county's edition, then click submit)
After step 11 or 12, wait up to 15 seconds for the e-newspaper to load
FINALLY I get to read the paper.
Sooner or later, while reading, another full page pop up ad will appear, and the little X to get rid of it won't appear for another 15 seconds.
>> And if that isn't bad enough, the on-line edition is buggy. Sometimes I have to scroll to finish the article, and when I do, it might jump up to 5 pages away and land in the middle of another article. Arrrrrrggggghhhhh.
Don't get me wrong, some things are much better digitally, and if it's better on-line I'm delighted to use it that way. But there are some things that are better off-line, and IMO reading books, magazines and newspapers are better on paper.
So I guess I'm old, too. I just like to think of it as being efficient though.
Notes, you forgot to add that you never have to stop reading a book or magazine because the battery was low!
The only thing I have on my Amazon Fire are my docs for my music programs. That way I can keep the music program on as I read the docs. Lately more companies have the docs included with the program, mostly on F1.

I have a good internet connection and none of the problems that Notes describes arise.<…snip…>
I have a good Xfinity Internet connection, the problem is the paper site itself. No other site is consistently delayed like that.
Even if there were no delays for the pages to load, I'd still have to go through all 15 steps that I listed previously. With the paper newspaper, I just open it up and read. Instant gratification.
I've written about the CAPTCHA. After I put in my username and password, why do I need to solve the CAPTCHA puzzle? They give no answer. I assume it is so that Google can put a cookie on my tablet, and log ever article I read to sell to advertisers. In other words, it's spyware.
And why does it sometimes make me do it a few times, even though I definitely clicked the correct boxes? That one I can't figure out a reason for.
And sometimes I get the “we are having trouble—try again later” type message. Saturday, they don't print a paper newspaper, so everyone has to go online, the delays in the morning are horrendous, and the try again later message is not uncommon.
They have an app, a friend of mine warned me. He said they disturb you dozens of times per day with updates that contain ads, and there is no way to turn that off.

That, too.
And if you like, you can read before bedtime without that blue light pollution that supposedly makes it harder to get to sleep (I never have that problem, even with blue lights).
Plus, I'm keeping a local person, the carrier, working. I've met him, he's a nice guy, drives an older car, and definitely needs his job. He spends money in our town, which helps our local economy.
There are some things that work much better online, but IMHO the newspaper and books are not better that way.
I read non-fiction books. Sometimes I put little bookmarks in pages I may need to go back and refer to. I can flip back and forth between the bookmark page and the one I'm reading.
And sometimes I come across something that I need to look up, and my trusty tablet is by my side, that's one great thing about the Internet. And I don't even have to close the book. The paper book and the Internet reference sites complement each other.
Some of the apps are more user friendly than others, my partner used to buy the print edition of a newspaper here every day, probably over of a year, it was in excess of £300, changed to digital edition less than half the price, and a lot easier on my tired ole eyes.
Think of the print copies, you have usually to go to newsagent to get them or through post.
Digital for me anyways is the way to go, I use the Pressreader app a lot, newspapers from all over the world. I am lucky where I live that the local library will pay for the sub, just put in my library card number and away I go. Some of the newspapers are in excess of £1 to buy, but free with the library sub.
Ok with Pressreader you have to do a few clicks to get what you want, but no big deal, its a free sub here so saving big time.

With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
