Is there a Talk Guitar out there?

So I've tried to find a good guitar forum like this one, but I keep coming up with sites that are full of 13 year old metal heads who do nothing but call each other newbs and rant about how great buckethead is. I'm looking for some guitar advice, but from people like you guys. If any of you know of a good forum, please let me know.
 
Not a bad idea ;) It's been done before. With mixed results.

Bryan, do you keep a list of all the best of all of the frequently-done threads? You're definitely quick on the draw!

Nope, but I'm going to make a sticky called "Looking for a guitar version of TalkBass? Try here..." this week as the question does get asked a ton. The problem is "guitar" and "site" are not searchable terms, so a lot of people look those up and get no results.

Try searching with Google: guitar site -bass

It seems to come up with quite a few hits on the topic.

Here are a couple threads you might want to check out:

If you see hits that don't match, keep adding terms with the - in front to eliminate the unwanted ones.

The focus is on making and finding backing tracks, recording, recording software & gear. It's a carefully moderated board running the same software as TB. They're a nice group that talk to each other with civility. There is an IM style chat on the home page, a chat room where you can play to BTs & choose to allow others to hear you & they host a room on CamFrog. Supporting members can upload recordings for feedback.
