Great guitar sites that you should know about
The European Guitar Teachers Assosiation
European Guitar Teachers Assosiation
Based in the U.K. the European Guitar Teachers Assosiation (EGTA) website is a fantastic resource for the classical guitarist. It has a fantastic array of articles written by professional guitarists, biographies of musicians, instrument advertisements and teacher resource listings. Primarily devoted to the development of guitar teaching in the U.K. this organization has already made a great contribution to the classical guitar community and will continue to do so.
The Delcamp Classical Guitar Forum

With multiple languages and literally hundreds of thousands of posts, the Delcamp forum is the most popular classical guitar forum on the internet. Run by a community of moderators who are incredibly on top of responding and maintaining the site, this forum is well maintained and has a very active community.

Guitar Foundation of America
Guitar Foundation of America
The Guitar Foundation of America is most famous for its internationally recognized competition and festival that is an annual event in the United States as well as their publication Soundboard. Their website is largely dedicated to the festival and competition but it also hosts a large collection of links and resources for the classical guitarist. Among them are forums, educational resources and event calendars. The GFA website is a great resource for classical guitarists.
The Classical Guitar Blog
Classical Guitar Blog
Run by Chris Davis, the Classical Guitar Blog is a fun read and is perhaps the most regularly updated classical guitar site on the web. With daily posts and ‘tweets’ Chris delivers his ideas, opinions and internet knowledge with a good dose of personality.
The most impressive aspect of this site is the author’s dedication to bringing a constant stream of information to his readers. With a strong sense of community and sharing of opinions the CG blog is well worth visiting.
Douglas Niedt
Douglas Niedt
Douglas Niedt runs the guitar program at the Conservatory of Music, University of Missouri in Kansas City and his site contains a great ‘vault’ of tips about technique and performance. He obviously has a wealth of experience in education and this comes through with his well thought out and comprehensive articles that are delivered monthly to his subscribers. His site is largely dedicated to marketing his recordings and publications but you can read through his articles for free.
Guitar World
Guitar World
Guitar World is run by Mark Antony and is a site that exudes a passion for all things classical guitar. With a good selection of articles, links, interviews and opinions, this site has a very good assortment of goodies to sift through.

Guitar International
Guitar International
Guitar International is a brand new site that has burst onto the scence. While not specializing in classical guitar, it has a lot of high quility interviews and reviews. If you are interested in a range of guitar genres then this site might be right up your alley! If Guitar International continues to develop their site in its current fashion (ie. that of a charging bull) then it might just be a site you want to keep an eye on.
Hi,
I would like to recommend guitarra.artelinkado.com and especially its huge forum.
It’s in Spanish but really great in my opinion.
Today the forum is hosted at http://guitarra.artepulsado.com/
Definitely recommended (esp. if you speak Spanish)
I would recommend http://www.creativeguitar.org/
Huge collection of free public domain sheet music and great articles
Thanks for the post, I follow most of these blogs. However I hadn’t heard of The European Guitar Teachers Assosiation. Thanks.
Oh and, of course, some shameless promotion and recommendations:

Simon:
Thanx for this post on these sites. What a goldmine of info. I know it would have taken me for ever to find all these.
A new up and coming guitar site I would like to recommend is http://www.guitarliteracy.com, they have,
free lessons (video and otherwise) , a online practice journal, forum, search-able public domain sheet music, a blog and a store. It’s a very new site so lots of content is still needing to be added. but check it out.
Thanks.
One more site guitar rellated: http://www.guitar-tube
It’s like guitar tube site with thousands of videos caetgorized by guitar genre
There is a new classical guitar forum called… wait for it… Classical Guitar Forum lol http://www.classicalguitarforum.net/.
Clasical and flamenco guitars, handmade in Masaya, Nicaragua. Best prices for best quality, in my opinion.
http://www.guitarraspilarte.com
Since the forum has grown quite a bit, Classical Guitar Forum has gone.com: http://www.classicalguitarforum.com/.

I’d like to share with you a different website. Although it’s not about classical guitar there is a lot of lessons about Brazilian guitar in solo arrangement versions.
http://learningbrazilianguitar.com/
If you’re still taking suggestions for classical guitar websites, here’s a new one: http://www.louwarde.com. New editions of standard solo repertoire, new ensemble works, guitar curriculum and other new works for vocal and chamber ensembles. All gratis.
Another (hopefully) great guitar site is http://acousticbridge.com. We mostly have info on steel string guitars at the moment, but will be expanded into classical guitars soon. Give us a look!
For some time I have also a blog on classical guitar. In addition to her history and her interpreters, I also write an introduction to various works.
