      +1 I'm not missing this one.
        +1!!! As soon as this is finalized, PLEASE post the update!!!
          Excuse my ignorance, how exactly does a guitar clinic usually work? Does everyone just come and sit and watch the guy giving tips and techniques?

          The only coaching clinic I've ever been to was for cricket and there we brought our bats and kit and had a knock with the coach telling us what and what-not to do. I assume everyone turning up with their guitars and amps is not how this works?

            Yeah pretty much like this, you sit down and he plays a couple songs talks technique and maybe gear and he may answer questions ?

            This is pretty much the coolest thing ever ever ever, heard about it two or three weeks ago but didn't wanna go spilling the beans before it had been officialised ? First we get Mattias Eklundh and now Guthrie Govan, if Bumblefoot had come down this country would have experienced the holy trinity of zappa-esque guitar music in my mind. It's going to be amazing though, the man is an incredibly good teacher. Not only will it be mind blowing to really see him in action but I'm sure everyone will walk away all the better for it having really learnt and understood new concepts that would motivate them to expand their playing ? Now I'm gonna stop waffling, shut up, sit in a corner and grin maniacally like a monkey on crack ?
              AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! ?

              Best news ever!! Please please please don't let this just be a rumour!

                          :woohoo::dance:?arty::dance::woohoo:

                          Got my ticket!!
                            Did you get it online or from Marshall? I wanted to get from Marshall 2 weeks ago but they said they hadn't received them yet :\
                              i was confusing him with Josh Groban.......


                              thankfully i relaised the mistake at the last minute and did NOT buy the tickets..

                              i mean.. if i wanted to watch a guitar God in action, I'd play in front of a mirror.
                                Picking my ticket up this weekend...

                                  Got mine at the Marshall in Tokai yesterday. I'd completely forgotten about it until i saw the poster in the store.
                                  I think the Tokai store should still about 2 - 3 tickets left.
                                  Otherwise, try calling them (i.e. and the store in town) to see if they can reserve you one.
