Affiliate Disclosure

Transparency is important to us. Here's how we fund MusicScene while keeping our editorial honest.

Last updated: April 17, 2026

Our Commitment

MusicScene (musicscene.com.au) is committed to transparency. This page discloses how we earn revenue through affiliate partnerships and how this may affect the content you see on our site.

FTC Disclosure

In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's guidelines concerning the use of endorsements and testimonials in advertising (16 CFR Part 255), some of the links on MusicScene are affiliate links. This means we may earn a commission if you click on a link and make a purchase — at no additional cost to you.

Amazon Associates

MusicScene is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to Amazon.com.au.

When we recommend guitars, amps, pedals, or accessories, we may link to those products on Amazon. If you purchase through one of these links, Amazon pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same whether you use our link or go directly to Amazon.

Where Affiliate Links Appear

Gear Lesson Pages

Product names, recommendations, and comparisons in our guitar, amp, effects, recording, and accessories guides.

Song Analysis Pages

Equipment sections describing recommended guitars, amps, and effects for recreating a song's tone.

Affiliate links are visually distinguished and open product pages on Amazon.com.au when clicked.

Editorial Independence

Our affiliate partnerships do not influence our editorial content. We recommend products because we believe they are good choices for guitarists — not because of the commission we might earn. Many products on our site have no affiliate link at all; we mention them because they're relevant to the lesson.

Our gear recommendations are based on:

  • Tonal characteristics & playing style fit
  • Build quality and reliability
  • Value for money at different price points
  • Artist usage & historical significance
  • Our own playing experience and testing

Other Revenue

In addition to affiliate links, MusicScene may display advertisements served by third-party ad networks (such as Google AdSense). These advertisements are labeled and are separate from our editorial content.
