Suggestions for best SA players for Guitar DVD..

UncleGoatLips

Sup?

Some film industry friends of mine approached me with the idea of making a DVD about SA guitarists, it'll be a documentary/instructional thing. We have a pretty big short list of guitarists who we want to approach with the idea to see if they'd be interested. I don't want to mention names right now but I was hoping I could get some suggestions?

We need about 5 guitarists of different genres and styles. We are looking for big names or bigg-ish names so that the guys can sell the DVD's at their gigs and to further sales, it'll hopefully help toward marketing SA as a music hub and to show the world that we have a musically rich culture that could stand up to any other. So please don't add things like "my buddy pete is pretty awesome, check him out".

We have a ton of other ideas regarding the production but if anyone has anything to add please post it!

I love that guy's music/playing. Never seen him that close, though!

MikeM

Man it was truly a revelation. Nico and I chatted him for an hour or two. Really flipped my perspective on music. Can only hope to bump into the guy again!

Goes without saying that you can't have a dvd of SA players without having Dan Patlansky in the mix. I have a few other blues/rock guitarists I like (albert frost, basson loubscher) but Dan stands out.

Also Bruce Sonnekus from Symphonic Schizophrenia

IceCreamMan

Mauritz Lotz

FruitarGeek

Unfortunately he passed a way, but Johnny Fourie would have been a perfect addition.

Johnny would have been perfect, kept thinking about that...

So far we have:

Selaelo
Dan
Albert
Mauritz

Malkav

That is if they say yes...

How bout guys in other genres? Nibs for example?

I want a list of about 20 where if only the bottom 5 say yes we'll still have an awesome DVD

Squonk

Nibs , there is also Guy Buttery

I suppose the list couldn't be complete without Jimmy Dludlu? (Maybe even Phuzekhemisi, to round out the genres...)

Bob-Dubery

Ray Phiri, Louis Mhlanga, Trevor Rabin (if you can get access to him), Tim Parr.... your problem is not getting five, but WHICH five.

Trevor Rabin is in the country more often n we think ...you may be surprised and he says yes ...... what a wonderful scoop that would be

UncleGoatLips

Martin Rocka? For something different?

So far...
