I have been using Twitter for several months now (I am @guitarworkshop) and have made some great connections through it.  Inspired by Darren Rowse’s TwiTip blog, here are my 10 favorite guitar-related Twitter users (in no particular order) is a comprehensive list of Twitter users who are way into guitar.

@premierguitar – Premier Guitar is one of the very publications that are actually growing.  Mostly gear based, but some great educational content as well.

@guitarnoize – Guitar Noize is one of the most read guitar blogs around.  It is a daily read for me.

@iheartguitar – Peter does a great job with his guitar blog from Austraila.  With a name like that, I can’t leave it off this list.

@johnhorneguitar – John is one of our teachers and he has a great guitar blog.  He is relatively new to Twitter, so make him feel welcome.

@madstratter – Another great gutiar centric blog from upstate NY.

@cameronmizell – Cameron is one of the bloggers at MusicanWages.com.  It is a hugely informatve website that is highly recommended.

@guitarkadia – Emon writes a great guitar blog at guitarkadia.  Thankfully he uses his Twitter stream for more than just new blog posts.

@guitarplayerzen – One of the most original guitar blogs on the internet.

@Vurnt22 – Vernon Reid from Living Color.  Enough said.

@amymantis – Amy writes a great blog about her experiences as a freshman at Berklee.

@JasonHeath – A great blogger on all things Bass.

I am moving this list to it’s own page here.

  • Another guitar-related Twittererer for your list: Devin Townsend (Vai, Strapping Young Lad). www.twitter.com/dvntownsend
  • Great links and guitar lists! Let's populate the web with more useful blogs and talents.
  • Many thanks!
  • shadrickguitar
    Dave, I will add you on the next update. Thanks!
  • shadrickguitar
    Great Idea David. I will add you to the list on the next update.
  • Does one have to be an uberfretmeister to get on the list or can a humble amateur (@sciencebase) make the grade...I'd live to start a #ChordSwapFriday or something on twitter. Voting for F#7add11 (2nd fret F# with open B and E strings do it on an ES335, add some distortion and lots of Fender chorus and you're Lifeson to a tee circa Hemispheres and again on Far Cry (Snakes & Arrows)
  • That is a great list, but I just can't believe you left off @fretbase. You're killing me.
  • Very useful blog post! I am more keen on following someone who is recommended.

    thanks!

    Gabi (Gabriel)
  • Hey! Thanks for adding me to the list!
  • Great to have more guitarists to communicate with. pb
  • Haha, maybe you did not rank me in because you do not know me : http://twitter.com/flameboy (or maybe because I am just a French guitar blogger). :p
  • I don't post strictly about guitar but I do play and include the occasional guitar tweet.
  • Jason,

    Thanks for the nod!

    I've had a hard time finding guitar-related twitterers but I've added everyone mentioned above, and gained several new followers today!
  • Jon
    Thanks for the mention Jason!
  • Hey, Jason, thank you, thank you for the mention!!! I was wondering where a bunch of new followers were coming from.

    You're awesome, dude!!
  • Thank you! I'm always looking for more guitar people to follow on twitter.

    Stuart Weber is a classical guitarist based in Montana, a few CD's out, etc. I also follow Jason Heath who writes at Double Bass Blog. There's probably man others, but that's all that come to mind right now.
