Thom Shedlock: News

This year's Moravian Guitar Festival was truly great. I was in attendance for two incredible master lessons and solo concerts.
The first lesson was with Laurence Juber, solo guitarist and former guitarist with Paul McCartney's "Wings". The study dealt with open tunings for solo guitar.
The second lesson was with classical guitar virtuoso Jason Vieux. If Jason tours your area, he is a must see, very powerful classical guitarist.

A new video of the song "Blissology" has been released and can be viewed on the You-Tube website. The video features film footage from St. John USVI and photos from both Sydney and Queensland Australia. Also included is some undersea footage and a few cameos by myself. Please log on and check it out. Four minutes of relaxing bliss!

From August 1st through the 10th, I'll be celebrating Musikfest with friends and various artists in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. If you have never experienced this celebration of music, it's definitely worth the trip to Bethlehem.

On June second I was fortunate enough to take part in the Moravian College 7th Annual Guitar Festival -"Jazz on the Classical and More". In addition to the wonderful concert recitals I took part in a master lesson from the jazz icon, Gene Bertoncini (guitarist for many including the legendary tonight show orchestra). As always, it's great to mix with such wonderful artists. If you ever get the chance, you must see Christopher Ladd perform live (Christopher is the professor of guitar at The Hartt School of Music in Connecticut).
