Thanks so much for putting together this incredible, in-depth resource and making it available. It reveals to me a whole world of music that is interesting and exciting, but know little about. I look forward to spending some serious time on your site, learning about these innovative musicians. Your blog will find an appreciative audience here in the AGF community.

Very kind, thanks. This is the personal goal: create a resource about guitarist's motivations to play. This is a non profit blog, open to ideas and collaborations.
