Nightwish - Official web site of my favorite band in the world. Epic, orchestral soundscapes, powerful drums, soaring guitar riffs, ground-shaking bass, and angelic, Operatic vocals combine to create an aural experience that is nothing short of heavenly.

Within Temptation - Official web site of my second favorite band in the world. Equally beautiful, powerful, and intense.

Andre Segovia - There isn't a Classical guitarist in the world who doesn't owe a debt of thanks to this man for bringing the Classical guitar into mainstream popularity.

Sharon Isbin - This woman gives new meaning to the phrase "artistic voice". Her skill with guitar and ability to convey varying degrees of emotion are enough to give John Williams a run for his money.

Christopher Parkening - This man's talents are unquestionably good. When he plays, I'm compelled to listen.

Xuefei Yang - China's premere Classical guitarist.

John Petrucci Forum - This is the offical message board of Dream Theater's guitarist, John Petrucci, and is where I go to shoot the breeze with fellow guitarists. I've never found a more friendly, inviting, or active place to meet other guitarists and get tips on how to improve my own skills. Though I play Classical guitar, I've always felt very welcome, and very much a part of a community of musicians.
