Favorite guitarists :
I respect any guitarist who can compose their own music, not just play other people's music. Any idiot can learn someone else's music, but you need real musical awareness and experience to compose your own. It's a similar list to my favourite bands, but out of the famous people out there who are great guitarists, here's a bunch of favourites:
Eric Clapton, John Petrucci, Guthrie Govan, Brett Garsed, Al DiMeola, B.B. King, Harry Manx, Jeff Loomis, Mikael Akerfeldt, John McLaughlin, Lori Lindstruth, Edward Van Halen, Michael Amott, Kirk Hammett, Frederik Thordendal, Will Adler, Devin Townsend, Paco De Lucia, Jesper Stromblad, Silenoz, Johnny Lang, Jeff Buckley, Steven Wilson, Peter Lindgren, Mike McCready, Neil Young, Johnny Cash, Darrell Lance Abbott, Dave Murray. There's always more...
Favorite bassists :
I'm a fan of Steve DiGiorgio from Death - his style is pretty full-on. Also, Billy Sheehan, Les Claypool, John Myung and Victor Wooten are unbelievably talented musicians.
Favorite books :
Fear and loathing in Las Vegas - Hunter S. Thompson. Birdsong - Sebastian Faulks. Band Of Brothers - Stephen E. Ambrose. The Hitch Hiker's Series - Douglas Adams. Do Cartoon books count as real books? If so, Red Meat is a favourite. Max Cannon is sick, and for that - I love him... http://www.redmeat.c om

Greetings. My name is Nick, I started playing guitar in 1999 and from then onwards I couldn't live without it. Literally, as I'm now a guitar teacher who earns his living from teaching people of all ages how to rock out. I'm pedantic about guitars being in tune, and even more so about treating them with proper care. I hate it when people trash their instruments. Also, I love cooking and making myself slowly fatter with each meal. I very much enjoy Paintball.
