When Guglielmo Malusardi [the Shred Baron] invited me [the Shred Admiral] to Milan, I was delighted to accept. Guglielmo had compared ZC3 show in Bucarest a few weeks earlier. This was Milan's 6th guitar day and it featured loads of great Italian guitar players and Michael Angelo Batio. The full list

At the end of the evening the players got up on stage and jammed this classic track, Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix. Daniele and Michael had a trade off solo section which was great fun!
After the gig, I was lucky enough to get a free guitar lesson with Daniele Gottardo [the king of rock fusion tap] ... although to me the scalloped neck and strings felt more like chopping board and cheese wire! I think Daniele must have laughed his socks off at my poor attempt at two handed tapping!

| Laurie Monk... this is the way you play 8 finger guitar! |
A little later on I talked with the very likeable Michael Angelo Batio, aka the King of Shred. His clinic show is chock full of humour and his trade mark lightening fast alternate picking! I was also able to have a go at holding the famous double neck!
