Mark McGuigan: Tom Quayle, Rick Graham masterclass review

f you are a fan of modern electric guitar then I’m sure Tom Quayle and Rick Graham will need no introduction.
Last year Tom and Rick hosted a very popular and successful three day masterclass. At the time I wasn’t able to attend so when I saw that another masterclass was being held on April 16th I jumped at the chance and got myself a ticket!

The masterclass was held at The Barn in the quiet and leafy setting of Calverley near Leeds and hosted in conjuction with renowned Leeds guitar teacher Jonathon Vipond.
The masterclass attracted a good turnout, around twenty odd people. We’d travelled from all over, eager to glean some golden nuggets of guitar genius from two class players and, I must say, it was also great to see plenty of Suhr headstocks on show

Jonathon, Tom and Rick greeted us warmly as we got settled and took our seats. We were also provided with pre-prepared handouts and tablature for the upcoming lesson topics. more
