Inspiring Guitarists Welcome to the website of Michael Ferris, classical guitarist. I have created this website to inspire guitarists and musicians alike. I hope to do this by sharing my guitar story. The site is also intended to interest listeners. There are recordings, interesting reading, a blog "Great Composers and their Lives", and more. Read the story of how I started playing guitar at 17 and then went on studying at a world renowned university with world renowned players. Having had many wonderful teachers, not only with great talent but also great souls, I moved on to study at the internationally acclaimed Mozarteum University for Music and Applied Arts in Salzburg, Austria, where I completed my M.A.degree in Guitar, studying under well-known guitarists Maria Isabel Siewers de Pazur, Joaquin Clerch, Augustin Wiedemann, Ricardo Gallen, and the world-renowned player Eliot Fisk. I have also had the opportunity to play for master classes held by leading guitarists, such as David Russell, Alvaro Pierri, and David Tannenbaum. In doing so, I have not only learned the instrument, but lived out my dreams. At this site, you will find a guitar resource page, photos, interesting reading, a blog on classical composers and more.
