Due to scheduling conflict with shows that have been scheduled with legendary guitar virtuoso Uli Jon Roth (ex-SCORPIONS) and the SCORPIONS in the UK, the dates for Uli's Sky Academy at Producer's Club Theater in New York City have been changed to October 8-11 from the previously announced October 11-14. This intensive, seminar will be personally conducted by Uli Jon Roth. The aim is to enable students to get to a higher level of playing ability, overall musical awareness, and inspiration. Topics include: the way of inspiration, music and art; the art of sound — the meaning of sound; the art of the recording studio, the art of rehearsing; the psychology of music, mind versus emotions – two sides of a coin; the importance of high-quality technique and how to transcend technique; the art of musical performance.

Uli's teaching aims to help unlock the full talent and potential of each player by drawing on his unique insights into the deeper mysteries of the craft.

Admission to Sky Academy New York City includes:

* Three days of seminars led by Uli Jon Roth
* Special meet-and-greet session with Uli on the evening of October 7
* Concert Uli Jon Roth and Friends with many special guests! October 11 held at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City; Special student passes - including soundcheck!
* All-access passes to any Uli Jon Roth concert on his 2008 U.S. tour
* Special limited-edition Uli Jon Roth / Sky Academy 2008 NYC T-shirt that will only be available to students

Associated with the Sky Academy seminars is the much-talked-about "Uli Jon Roth and Friends" concert on October 11 at B.B. King Blues Club & Grill in New York City. Roth will perform compositions from all stages of his career, including lots of SCORPIONS and ELECTRIC SUN material as well as new material from his forthcoming album.
