always depends on what you wanna do with your musical career. here in austria we have the oldest music-universities and conservatories. about 30 years ago the education there was over the top - but now i would not recommend it (at least not for guitarrists) - the problem is, that when you are done with it you are like a machine with a lil slot where you can insert a coin and chose any song - seriously - you´ll need ages to get back to your own style. especially in classical music - those university dudes are pure sight-reading players and every note is played perfectly. but sadly 90% of them cannot improvise nore write a song apart from the strict rules they have learned. its a great loss of individuality.

the GIT would be cool though.
