Just Got Your Tax Return?
Then, choose a new guitar from our new guitar arrivals!
Social researchers are telling us that in 2017 more Aussies are choosing to spend their tax return on experiences and things that are meaningful to them. Apparently, we’re saying goodbye to smashed avo on toast and down payments on a house and hello to what is individually important.
So if a new guitar is on the horizon for you, or you’ve ever thought of taking up the guitar, welcome to GuitarsOnline.
We have an exciting new shipment including the new Almansa range, and stock models from beginner to concert to special builds.

GuitarsOnline Performance Showcase
At GuitarsOnline, we love to profile and showcase Australia’s leading talent.
In our new Performance Showcase, we feature Australia’s leading and up and coming classical guitarists, playing from our range of the world’s finest classical guitars, from Australia & Europe’s greatest luthier craftsmen.
In addition to showcasing this talent, it is designed to help you in your quest to find your next guitar, as our guest performers bring to life the experience of testing our range of classic guitars.
We have just uploaded a new batch of 46 recordings - the result of a very busy day with a multi-camera videographer, a host of guitar professionals and up-and-coming players. The recordings also feature AMEB repertoire, which will enable students to evaluate what the different models can deliver in AMEB exam situations.
In this latest recording session, the invited guest was AMEB examiner Giuseppe Zangari. Players may find it useful to know what the exam performance standard is.
Some players missed out on the day and the good news is that we will be holding recording days on an ongoing basis. So, if you are keen for your moment of fame drop me a line.

Featured composer - Marian Budos
In this month's Featured Composer series, I'd like to introduce to you all to Marian Budos.
I first met Marian in Canberra a few year ago when Marian was trying to buy a new, traditional sounding Spanish guitar.
He chose a Jose Maria Vilaplana model that he has since played and used to compose his guitar music.

Featured New Guitar Teaching Method: Macrocosm Roger has been working on his Macrocosm guitar method and refining it for years I remember seeing the drafts five years ago and being immensely impressed.
