Manfred-Klose It starts at 7 PM, so early would be 6. Wink i am useally an hour early, but i know these cape town things, they always advertise 7, and then it only starts at 8, hope its on schedule tonight.
Reinhard I'll spot Alan and Manfred, but will be cool to meet some more forum members. I'll be the... Short guy lol.
AlanRatcliffe Life interferes again... <sigh> Anyone want a ticket for tonight? I have it as a PDF file I can email. You can just print it out.
arjunmenon Wow! Great clinic. All round nice guy. Very charming, entertaining and has a great sense of humour. Top 3 impressions he did would be: 1. George Benson meets Holdsworth 2. His Indian classical music influenced slides (in response to the fretless question) 3. Yngwie Malmsteen banjo licks. Top 4 tips to me were: 1. Sweat the free stuff - Look at the way you use the pick (attack, angle, grip etc) and maximising on your tone & volume controls. 2. Develop your fretting hand skills, the picking hand will follow. 3. Minimize learning stuff from tabs/tab books and start learning things by listening. 4. The vibrato and the floating bridge are great tools to get the best out of your guitar. Try vib-ing into the target note and out of the target note (Strangely enough i was watching Buddy Guy play Hoochie Coochie man on the Experience Hendrix DVD, and his vibrato and bending skills are off the chart)
