Yo everyone,

Just came back from an excellent guitar weekend with Fender and Dan Patlansky in Clarens. We were about 20 guys and the weekend included group and individual workshops(2 per class)

Four of us from the GFSA was there, good to have met everyone.

Although, it was frightingly could, it was just blues from the morning to evening.

Will post some pics soon!!

Looking forward to the GFSA guitar weekend later this year, it's gonna be great!

    You lucky bugger ?
    I heard about it after it was booked up. ☹
    Did the Old Brown Sherry come in handy?
    How is Dan, I hear he is a monster player?

      Ya, it was awesome. Great fun. Mental note for next time- Clarens is *%$#@ing cold!
      How is Dan, I hear he is a monster player?
      Hell yes he is!
      I know there not a lot of blues players here, but Dan could convert anyone. Was cool to get tips from a master guitar player. He was frighteningly good.

        He's awesome! ? check him out when he's in your town, you won't be dissapointed..

        I just have to add; there was some monster guitars present! 99% Fender, 0.2% Gibson, 0.8% other

          Woah! Just stumbled upon the topic...It was interesting being the youngest there, and one of the only people to NOT have a strat! ?

          But it was incredibly cold...the drinks were like jelly!
            What about a GFSA weekend later this year? (Sounds interesting, if I don't have my driver's licence by then, or a car, I'm going to have to beg my dad to maybe take me...)
              I missed the last spot with about a week.

              That really bummed me out... so I bought a Line 6 pocket pod to cheer me up.

              I will NOT miss this next year. No way Jose.

                  I think you had one too many ???

                  Or you weren't drinking the drinks, but actually guitar polish ?

                        Nice Blues........no wonder Dan is such an amazing guitarist..........any guy with fingers that long and cannot play guitar should be shot!!!!!
                        I'd really like to hear this guy............will make a real effort next time he's in town.........heard only good things!!!! ?

                        Don't you think he looks a lot like Josh Groban?....
                          nice foto's blues...

                          which model is that Red Strat of Dan's?

                          any ideas?

                            It's a 1962 original, which he found from some granny when he was 15!

                            That guy playing that dot is just so cool...I wish I could be like him ?

                              Haha, yes he does look a lot like Josh. He's actually in town at the moment. Check out his page www.danpatlansky.com I'll probably visit two or three of his shows, so maybe I'll see you there. I doubt you'll find better entertainment anywhere else
                                Cool pics. Looks like you guys had a great weekend...
                                  Andy Turrel, who plays drums for Dan, is a freaking great guitarist.

                                  I sometimes run into him and his ballie, Glen Turrell, who is a monster on bass as well.
