Michael Babyak is a very talanted and successful painter, and I have the great pleasure of owning an original painting of his on canvas of a Fender Telecaster similar to the one I am pictured with on my teaching page.  Michael is also a guitarist and all around great person.

One of the most impressive guitar stores I have ever visited. Specializing in a huge selection of high end guitars and amplifiers.  It is worth the trip to Riverside, CA to see this unique gallery of instruments.

This music store located in Santa Monica, CA has the most extensive and diverse collection of high end new and used instruments that I have ever seen.

The name says it all.  No matter what instrument you play or style of music you are into, it is essential to at least be aware of Holdsworth's utterly unique approach to music.

To say that David Torn is an innovator is an understatement.  Torn has a unique musicial vision that he has actualized through the guitar.  Few musicians can make a similar claim.

I consider John McLaughlin to be the chief architect of the modern jazz guitar movement.  Starting with his work with Miles Davis and the Tony Williams Lifetime, followed by the Mahavishnu Orchestra, followed by his stunning acoustic work with Shakti.  His vast musical knowledge, technical abilities, and passion are breathtaking to behold.

The inclusion of the band Blackbery Smoke may seem out of place here, but not really.  Blackberry Smoke create fantasic southern rock music, and creating great music is what it's all about.  I highly recommend the Band's CD "The Whippoorwill."  The members of the band are also great guys and deserve all the success they have received.  Check out their live show.  You will not be disappointed.

Finally, just for fun, I provide a link to a web-site celebrating the classic television show, Get Smat, which, in my humble opinion, was the greatest show on television.
