<p>I'm considering schools that offer majors in guitar performance and need suggestions for colleges that are commendable and are distinguished in their popularity. Anything will help, so leave me what you think. Thanks.</p>
<p>Classical, Jazz, Rock, some other genre or some combination of any of the above?</p>
<p>Two resources that really helped us and gave an overview of what's out there for jazz and rock: Downbeat Magazine's annual issue of music programs nationwide, and Rolling Stone Magazine's book: Schools that Rock. You get a sense of where to start looking for a program that suits you, and go to websites from there. It is so individual looking for the right place for a certain instrument, and I feel that guitar, in particular, can be so many different things depending on your interests: classical, jazz, jazz fusion, rock--you must do your own research, make phone calls, etc.</p>
