What other guitar related websites/forums do you visit on a regular basis?

I'm trying to put together a good list of places to add to my browser that I can look through on a daily basis.

Besides thefret, I go to the fender forums. Any others that are worthwhile?

I have to say none really. I go to the Gear Page once in a while, and I like it when I go, and am a member of a few others like the Fender page.

The Gear Page
The 2 Fender Forums

Not specifically guitar, but:

This is the forum I go to mostly. I also belong to The Gear Page, Heritage Owners Club, and The Steel Guitar Forum. I use to go to Harmony Central but it only takes a few visits there to see how worthless the forum section is.

The Harmony Central forums do have an admittedly high noise-to-signal ratio, but there's good info to be found there if you're patient. I don't post there very much anymore.

I'm also on TDPRI, the telecaster forum (a really nice community) and I look in on the Gear Page every now and then.

I go this one http://www.mylespaul.com/forums/.

There is a ton of info on how to make guitars and how to do mods on the OEM's

When I had my bass I went to talkbass.com a lot. Now I read the steel guitar forum but I'm not a member yet.

This is the only forum I belong to, or visit. And it took me long enough to join this one! I do check out reviews and audio/video clips on MF, manufacturer's sites and HC. That's it for me.

This is the only forum I visit regularly, as in on an at least once daily basis if possible (Sunday's outtage was a drag ...lost my day to catch up on promised pm's to members).

I have a boatload of others bookmarked, but I've signed up for just a handful and only check happenings weekly or so and rarely if ever post there.

I Breathe Music, besides being correctly spelled, has some great content. I just bought Eric Vandenberg's ebook, mainly for the stuff on sweep picking. That's my next project.

Yea - I found ibreathe, personally, really good for theory.

The other site I linked (electricguitarforums) is where I post a blog about my beginner learning of guitar. Now 10 months in (about 8 weeks altogether off for being away with work...) I keep the blog updated weekly :)

I only visit one other guitar site more or less often. It's a German fanpage of a famous guitarist and the members meet pretty often at concerts. It's nice to have also personal contact instead of writing all the time and being bits and bites only ;)

Sometimes I check mylespaul.com, but only if I seek some technical info. I rarely post there, nor do I participate in the forum's life there.

Most people in the other forums (except the German one mentioned above) are kinda not deep enough for what I seek.
