Critique affiliate webpage please, need tips, marketing ideas

There are several things I would change...

First of all, I don't like that design, but that could be just me.

On the home page, I would make it more like a "traditional" squeeze page, especially if you don't plan to launch it before getting those 500 subscribers. I would remove those links on the left and that "under construction" banner. I would make opt-in box more "visible", list just couple of benefits, and offer something in exchange for email address (like a free video with one specific guitar tip, or something like that). I'm pretty sure that would give you better conversions that just "subscribe for updates".

On that review landing page, it looks like too many banners to me, especially for a landing page of review for a specific product. I would (maybe) keep those in sidebar, but remove all other banners. Also, don't get me wrong, but that review article could be much better, from copywriting point of view. (You can PM me and I'll send you some free resources that I think are good)

And when it comes to marketing, I would definitely concentrate on online marketing, social media and probably PPC to get first flow of traffic to the site.
