Just come back from Rob Chapper's clinic in the heart of Monkey World. The 3 hour session just flew by ably assisted by the timely arrival of some Dominoes pizza! Rob put every one at ease with his own personal touch, something often missing from guitar clinics I've been to in the past. His approach to the art of guitar is holistic, that is to say, it's not just about the notes you play, but the way you hold your body, to the mental image you have of playing. Add to that his wise cracking anecdotes about the business and sage advice to players wanting to make a living at guitar made this a cracking show. I know time passed quickly for me... I even forgot to video Rob playing!!! Shred Medium was impressed, the lucky chap getting a Fender guitar strap into the bargain, he immediately asked me, after the show, if he could go to another clinic if one is arranged. A quick straw poll of a few attendees indicated similar feelings... you know, even I thought about getting myself a guitar and having a crack at a few licks!
On display for all was the new ML1 prototype, which a few of the players were lucky enough to have a shred on. The guitar is one solid bit of guitar, well constructed and thoughtfully designed bit of Win! There will be a couple of modifications to the final model , mainly thickening the neck. With Rob's trusty new Marshall's amp not only did it look a treat but it played well too. If you interested in ordering one just complete the form: http://monkeylordforum.com/ It does not bind you to getting one, but will be used to judge the numbers to be made.
