2009 has been a fantastic year for Guitar Noize with nearly half a million visitors, 1000 RSS subscribers and 1500 followers on Twitter. Paul has managed to think of essential listening almost every weekend for us with his ‘5 for the weekend‘ feature as well as some very in-depth product reviews of TC Electronic gear. I managed to keep up my daily (except weekends) posts as well as a lot more reviews and video demos despite having a baby in January.

Looking forward to 2010 there are going to be a few changes for me which is going to assist with improving Guitar Noize. In a couple of weeks I am moving into a new house which will have a dedicated soundproofed recording/teaching studio which will enable me to record more professional product demos and teach not only locals but internationally via Skype. I have already lined up some great gear for the new year and also have my Suhr currently being built which should arrive February.

Thank you to all of our readers, especially those who take the time to comment and to the guitar blogging community who have helped promote Guitar Noize this year. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
