Site features
MusicRadar's core content consists of news, features, reviews and tuition.
News is largely centred on artist news and music news, although music equipment news is also featured. MusicRadar also sends reporters to trade shows such as NAMM and Musikmesse.
Features range from podcast interviews with stars such as Noel Gallagher, KT Tunstall and Chad Smith to blog-style posts and opinion polls.
Product reviews are editorially written, and accompanied by photos of the product and a summary box which includes a small 'verdict' paragraph and an out-of-five star rating. Reviews are often supplemented with video or audio clips of the product being reviewed. Users can also add their 'user reviews' and out-of-five rating.
Tuition features lessons for guitar, drums and music technology, and sometimes more diverse subjects such as lyric writing and music promotion. Several lessons feature video footage, guitar tablature and audio clips, and there are also several guest lessons from stars including John 5, Paul Gilbert, My Chemical Romance, Rodrigo y Gabriela and BK.
