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

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.

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!!
Thanks for the mention Jason!
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!
I don’t post strictly about guitar but I do play and include the occasional guitar tweet.
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
Great to have more guitarists to communicate with. pb
[...] involved. So after you’ve added us be sure and check out this blog post by John Shadrick, Guitar Related Twitter Users. This will get you off to a great start with a bunch of guitar [...]
Hey! Thanks for adding me to the list!
Very useful blog post! I am more keen on following someone who is recommended.
thanks!

That is a great list, but I just can’t believe you left off @fretbase. You’re killing me.
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)
Great Idea David. I will add you to the list on the next update.
Dave, I will add you on the next update. Thanks!
Many thanks!
Great links and guitar lists! Let’s populate the web with more useful blogs and talents.
Another guitar-related Twittererer for your list: Devin Townsend (Vai, Strapping Young Lad). http://www.twitter.com/dvntownsend
