Well this is exciting! I'm probably one of the younger people to join this forum (19). I say that because reading through the posts, it seems like many of you are pretty accomplished musicians, and I don't know many people my age who can say that about themselves... Or maybe I just don't want to admit I'm getting old

But anyway, right now, I'm studying to be a nurse, which is pretty awesome. You get to like, save lives!

I don't have a job right now, so in my spare time, I'm a guitarist! Well, for about three years now. I'll listen to anything really. And the type of music that I play reflects that. I play rock oriented worship songs for my church, and that's really all I play live. Everything else I play for my own enjoyment, and the styles vary from metal, to classic rock, to acoustic stuff, etc. I've been getting into jazz recently, and I've taken a liking to jazzy fusiony type stuff. John Petrucci is one of my most enjoyable guitarists to listen to, and until recently, he *was* my favorite. However, about a week ago, I discovered Guthrie Govan, and it turned my world upside down. He rocks!!

And one last thing, I've been trying to improve on my improv chops as of late (which were practically nonexistent about a month ago). It's slow progress, but listening to good music keeps me motivated to keep at it!

So anyway, sorry if this was really long, I like to be thorough. Oh, and just fyi, I'm a dude. In case the nurse thing threw you off...lol

Namast'e, my loving friends and brothers!

I don't live too far away from chelmsford, and I'm really looking forward to seeing Guthrie and the fellowship at the Bassment soon, but I do have an important question that I'm hoping some of you guys might be able to help me with!

Is "The Bassment" Venu 18+ only? Or are minors allowed?

That's it really!

Peace, and thanks in advance!
Harrison.

I believe last year he played a few gigs around central/north England. He played Birmingham but I couldn't make it.
He was also at Music Live in Bimingham a couple of years ago I believe, but I didn't see him

Ok, so I've been playing the Red Bear Big Jazzer for over a month now and I have to say it is awesome. The sound and feel you get is very smooth and the pick is really durable, it hasn't worn down much. You can also get the pick care kit, which lets you file down and buff the edges if they wear out.

hi ive just noted all the new gig listings, which is great, but god damn, get guthrie and co away from down south, lets get some birmingham, manchester liverpool or scotland gigs on the go, ill go to as many as i can, but a trip down to chelmsford costs an arm and a leg and about 6 hours in the car, milano and roma, and sardinia, thats great and all, but guthrie could easily fill the academy in mancheter, ritchie kotzen played there, just food for thought i guess, peace.

I don't believe I've ever seen that done in 10 years of buying Guitar Techniques. I'm pretty sure they always re-record the original (cheaper to license, at a guess?), unless they're transcribing 'live' solos by guest columnists (a Carl Verheyen article springs to mind there).

I'd like to hear your recording of it, for what it's worth....do you fancy doing it anyway?

Cheers
Jordan

well i have issue 1 upto issue... whatever we are on...

there are many example of this

Ultimately, what you are saying IS correct, but at the same time, Guthrie owns his own publishing, and with his own permission, can use his own track

Id just give the transcription to save him the work lol

It's close but I don't think that it's the album version...could it be the album version before GG started re-recording parts.?

Ah!

I may be confusing it with the version that was on the Cornford Introducing EP, would need to double check but I'm drinking tea right now.

id deffinately like to see it. fan made tabs are ok but i love to read the personal notes on transcriptions made by the composer.

Miss'treater is a super-fanboi, remember

Have you got a recording of you nailing it? That's a big part of the GT features too, imho.

I can do one

But to be honest, i would rather just donate the tab, and them to put guthries version on the CD
