Hi People

Sorry this page is a few hours late, I've been in bed all day with the flu, oh well had to catch it some time and at least I should be safe for Christmas!

This months video tip is about sweep picking, a very difficult technique to use. Take your time with this one. I have seen a lot of players 'bluffing' their way through this technique. Every note should sound and if it doesn't then you need to work on it, don't kid yourself with this one. Be you own critic and don't just speed up the technique and hope for the best. It's a very distinct sound to use so give it a go.

The albums post-production is currently at a standstill and I hope to pickup work again in the new year. To tell the truth the rest will do me good, I have after all completed two albums in less than 12 months! Most artists knock out one every 2 years and they work on them full time not just on their days off!

I managed to get to MusicLive at the NEC this year. I went with my good friend John Boswell. We got there nice and early but to be honest we both felt as though we had walked around the whole thing in no time at all. I went with the idea of buying some upgrades for my Keyboard and V-Studio but I couldn't get hold of them. This was disappointing but I did manage to get them from PMT Music on the way home! Thanks guys!!!
Highlight of the show for me had to be the Line6 stand, they had some great players demoing their gear for them, a great (and very young) guitar player showed off the variax for the company will style. I hope line6 appreciate the talent they have working for them as much as the MusicLive crowd did.

I'm going to keep it short this month folks. All that remains for me to say is have a very happy Christmas and I will see you in the New Year.

All the best

Scott

Hi Everyone.

Hope you are all well.

The VIDEO TIP this month deals with hammer-ons and pull-offs within a scale (slurs). This can have a very cool effect if you spend some time getting to grips with the basic techniques involved. I run through these techniques on the video. When using this approach to playing make sure you maintain a strong volume as you hammer and pull-off. That's the secret to getting it sounding even and fluent. Also remember to try this technique through all you scales and at different tempos. Go on give it a go! Let me know how you get on on the GUESTBOOK.

I'm pleased to announce that all recording work is complete on my second album 'Swimming with Piranhas'. It's been tough but I'm happy with the tracks ( I'm listening to them as I type this page!).

Here's the final track listing.


1. L.T.T.E.W
2. Shellshock
3. Swimming with Piranhas.
4. The Orange Box Music Festival.
5. Nailbomb.
6. Black or Blue.
7. Six Reason to Live.
8. The Shape of the Future.
9. Storm in a Blackhole.
10. Man Vs. Time.


Just the last track to outline for you all this month.

Man Vs. Time
I wanted a track that said 'goodbye' at the end of this record. I wanted it to feel like the end of the CD. I think I have this with this track. It's a track that for me has an almost signature type finish to it. The last few bars are some of the most simple guitar parts I have ever recorded and yet they are very powerful (to me at least).
I hope you like it as much as I do.

OK then folks the album now goes into post production. The process involves final mixing and mastering. John Boswell is going to help again with this process (thank god!) and we both agree it's going to be a mammoth task. We both have no idea when this work will be complete as the process this time is much more complex due to the fact that the equipment I have used this time round is 'Pro-level'. As always you will hear any news first on this page.

I just want to say that I am very happy with the record. I couldn't have written, arranged or played any better than I have. I hope anyone who buys it will like it. It's a natural progression from '1969' and yet it's VERY different. I think it shows a style of it's own too and that is always the important thing for me.

I'm having a week off work at the beginning of November and that gives me a chance to go to the Music show at Birmingham with my good friend John Boswell. Should be great as I haven't been for about 5 years. I need to buy some production stuff for my V-studio and Fantom X so I hoping to pick up a few bargains as well as making sure the larger in the bar is 'up to standard'!


Say hello if you see me there.


Have a great November and I will see you hear again next month.

All the best

Hi Everyone and thanks for checking out the website.

My good friend John Boswell has taken the time to film all of this years video tips, the latest of which can be seen on the VIDEO TIPS page.Thanks John. This month we take a look at an often overlooked part of many players development....chords. On the video you will see me run through a diatonic chordscale in the key of C Major. On paper this may sound complex (to some players) but don't be scared!! The first types of chord any player should learn are called TRIADS, they are 3 note chords (as the name suggests) and come in 3 flavours, Major, minor and diminished. Most players learn the first 2 but there are have been many times when I ask a guitarist to play a diminished chord and they don't know how to. Do yourself a favour and learn them. Put them into the chordscale outlined on the video and make sure you practice them.

Next up is the latest on my new album 'Swimming with Piranha's

The track listing now looks like this.

1. L.T.T.E.W (formally 'Light through the exit wound' ).
2. Shellshock.
3. Swimming with Piranha's.
4. The Orange Box Music Festival.
5. Nailbomb.
6. Black or Blue.
7. Six Reasons to Live.
8. The Shape of the Future.
9. Storm in a Blackhole.

2 new tracks to outline for you then...............

5. Nailbomb. This one was a strange song for me to work on, it's a straight ahead rock song that takes me back to the time when I first started to play guitar. It captures the thrill of hearing the guitar for the first few months of playing (for me). I remember being so excited about hearing a guitar with gain on the signal. This track reminded me of that time period in my life.

9. Storm in a Blackhole. This CD will sound very different to '1969' and this track illustrates the difference very well. Again a straight ahead rock song but so different for me. It has a massive modern sound. Very intimidating to my ear hence the title.

Ok folks, as you can see the recording of the album is nearing the end. I hope to report in next months NEWS page that I will be mixing the album with my 'God-like' producer friend John Boswell. It will be a good time to finally finish recording and get my two days a week off back to myself !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

The deadline for the Winter exam session has passed and a lot of you are entered for an exam. Good luck to you all.

Have a great month and I will see you back here on the 1st November for a new FREE VIDEO TIP and NEWS PAGE.

Be good now!

Hi Folks

Another month goes by and again there's so much to tell you about.

The next FREE video tip is up and running now. It's a good workout for your picking hand. It's called the spider exercise and it's a great help to anyone who feels they need to co-ordinate their picking hand with their fretting hand. Start of SLOW and make sure you can play all of the notes very cleanly and to a high quality. When you are sure you have all the notes ringing well with strict alternate picking start to think about raising the tempo of the metronome. Give it a go on the VIDEO TIPS page!!!

Another new addition to this site is the two new student pages. The Student achievement page shows a few of the students who have successfully passed their graded examinations. They are pictured holding their certificates. The other students page is simply a gallery of some of the students currently studying with myself. I thought this would be a nice idea as it gives a visual insight into the wide range of students that I teach.
If you are a student of mine and would like to be included on one of these pages let me know and we will sort it out.

The album is progressing slowly and surely.

This is the track list updated to include all finished tracks.

1. Light through the exit wound.
2. Shellshock.
3. Swimming with piranha's.
4. The orange box music festival.
6. Black or blue.
7. 6 reasons to live.
8. The shape of the future.


So we have 2 new tracks this month.

Track 7 is called '6 Reasons to live'. It's a song about hope. It starts of with a suprise that I won't talk about (You can hear it when you get the record!) Again when this record starts I think it will shock a few people. The main melody is a nice simple idea (always best I think). The solo is the least notes I have ever played in my life but I think it just works so well. Very melodic and fitting for this track.

Track 8 is called 'The shape of the future' . A song that to me sounds as though is pushes forward all the time (hence the title), it's a rock song!!!

OK onto other news, believe it or not I'm also already in reproduction for the next CD after 'Swimming with piranha's. It's all change again for that one too!! The majority of the sounds will be provided by the new addition to my recording studio set-up. I have just got hold of a Roland fantom6 keyboard/workstation. I haven't had much time to use it as of yet due to my current workload but I am astounded at the quality of the sounds from the unit. It's going to be a joy to work with I'm sure!

The deadline for all students wishing to enter for Winter 2005 examinations is October 1st 2005. Don't miss this one if you are ready to go because if you do you won't get a chance to enter until Spring 2006 if you do. Send your entry's off now.

A big thanks as always to my students, thanks for your constant interest and ongoing support. It means allot to me.

Till next time.................................

All the best

August 2005

Hi everyone


Hope your summer is going well. It's been a busy time for me again, there's so much going on at the moment.

First make sure you check out the next free video tip (filmed by my mate John Boswell). This time it's a four note phrase that uses A minor pentatonic scale in the key position. It's a phrase that a couple of my favourite guitar players use, namely Angus Young of AC/DC and Joe Satriani. I'm using the Modern Hi-gain setting on my POD and some compression with digital delay to get the sound. It sounds nice because the gain isn't over-done. Always take care not to over-do the gain when looking for a rock tone. Think 'crunch' rather than saturation and you won't go far wrong. It's definitely something to watch if you want a nice repeating rock lick in your vocabulary. Start off slow and build up the speed slowly. Make accuracy the main concern and the speed should sort itself out without too much hassle.

So more news on my next album.....it's called 'Swimming with piranhas'. When I'm recording this time round it almost feels like a dangerous thing to do, I think that may be because of all the kind comments from you all concerning '1969'. I want this to be a record that everyone who bought '1969' will like so the pressures on a bit! I can say that I'm very pleased with the way things are going, it's different too and that's important to me. It's going to be a little darker than my first CD and should also be longer timewise. I talked about a few tracks last time, this is how the track listing is looking so far.


1. Light through the exit wound.
2. Shellshock.
3. Swimming with piranhas.
4. The orange box music festival.
6. Black or blue.


OK so there are two new additions to the track listing from last time.

1. Light through the exit wound - Razorwire was very popular as the opening track on '1969' so I've got a lot of very hard work to do on this track. I recorded the intro this week and haven't done anything else on it yet. It's the next one to get finished. I'm confident this is the opener I need so it should be just a matter of getting the recording right............. I'll keep you posted.

2. Shellshock - this could have been an opener too, a solo guitar riff kicks the song off and then it all gets a bit wild! A very fast solo is included for good measure!! Near the end of the track I play a diminished and whole tone scale run just to keep the dark theme running. It's different for me. That's the point for me, I want it to be a shock.

I will keep you up to date on all progress from the C.D. as it happens so if you are interested make sure you keep checking back. The C.D. should be ready near the end of this year.


Here's an important notice for all students, my summer holidays are drawing near. The last lessons will be on Tuesday 9th August and lessons will resume on Friday 26th August. Make the most of your time away from your lessons by getting together a really good practice routine.

I've recently been going back to some old CD's to see what I think of them now. Some of the stuff I've bought goes back to when I was about 15! I expected it to sound rubbish but I was suprised by how good it still sounds. I suppose we don't really change do we? I would love to hear about your influences on the Guestbook. Drop me a line.

If at any time you encounter a problem with the site or have any suggestions drop me a line and I will see what I can do.


OK that's your lot

See you soon

July 2005
Hi Folks!
 
Welcome to the new website. I hope you take the time to have a good look around and enjoy your stay @ www.gradeaguitartuition.co.uk
This site has been created from the ground up by my good friend and all round techno expert Mr John Boswell. I think he has done an exceptional job even by his ridiculously high standards. Thanks John for all your time and effort on this project.
 
There's so much to tell you about. First regular visitors will have noticed a lack of diary pages on the old site, I thought I would hold all entries until the launch of this new site. The DIARY page of old has been replaced with this NEWS page so this is the page to watch for all things new Grade-A wise. Check out the rest of the site while you are visiting. Try the great new free video tips section by yours truly or sample and buy my debut album '1969' from the album page. If you are looking to start guitar lessons have a look at the TEACHING STUDIO page and find out more about my musical history and qualifications on the ABOUT page. Any students wanting to get their photo on this site are welcome to speak to me about it and we will add your mugshot to the STUDENT page.  I think you will agree the content of this new site is very broad and it can only get better. I spoke to John Bowswell today (1st July 2005) and he told me that the site is in it's most basic form and there is every intention to constantly keep adding to what is already in place.
 
With the introduction of this new site comes a fantastic studio project by John Boswell. At last John is making his home studio available to the public as 'Point5' studios. I have heard some early work from the studio and can tell you that John is achieving 'Pro-audio' quality. It's the only studio that I would put my name too and I am VERY, VERY critical of audio quality. John was unsure as to whether or not he would have a separate 'Point5' page ready for launch of this site but make sure you have a good look through the page when it is up and running.
 
I am now working very hard on my next CD. I will reveal the title of the C.D. on a future NEWS page and will promote the album near to the time of it's release on the ALBUM page. I have finished 3 tracks so far..............
 
 
Track 3 (Title track to be announced on a future NEWS page) : This one is very dark and different for me. It has an ominous sound that is hard to put your finger on really. I based the song around the title of the album. I can't wait to get some feedback from this one. I think you will either get the vibe of the track or won't.
 
Track 4 'The Orange Box Music Festival' : A song about one of those days we all look back on and remember with a warm glow inside of us. This track has been like an exorcism for me. It was extremely difficult to write and took several rewrites. I am however very pleased with it and the track has turned into something very special for me. Out of the 3 tracks I have recorded so far this one feels almost 'precious' too me.
 
Track 6 'Black or Blue' : There is a lot of different styles to develope on the next C.D.. This track will serve as a break from all the 'mayhem'. It starts with solo drums and builds into a very big sound. The bridge really lifts the whole song and this track contains a solo I am very proud of. It's a short solo but I don't think I could have picked better notes.
 
I will post any new additions to the next C.D. as soon as I can so if you are interested in the progress of the C.D. this is the page to check back for.
 
OK that's your lot for this time, please leave me some feedback on the GUESTBOOK about the new site.
 
I Hope you have enjoyed your stay!
 
 
Thanks

Hi Folks!!!!!!!
 
This is a special diary entry for me this month as it sees the first anniversary of the opening of the guitar studio at Pillaton Hall farm. It opened on Friday April 31st 2004 and it has been a busy studio ever since! Thanks to all students who have used the studio both past and present, the first year really has been a pleasure. Here's to many more years of teaching and more importantly FUN!. It can only get bigger and better from here.
 
The radio exposure is definitely going to happen although unfortunately I don't have a date as-of-yet for the broadcast. I have been in recent contact with Matt Lewis, the DJ for the station and he's very keen to get my music on the radio. I will post the dates of the broadcast as soon as I have them.
 
I have felt the need of late to listen to a lot music. I need to hear music that makes me feel good at the moment. I'm really into Keane , yeah I know the album's a year old now but I can't stop playing it. My favourite track has to be 'Bend and Break'. It has a great melody structure, the singer uses quite unusual notes to great effect.
 
Most students will be sick of me going on about a great guitarist I have just discovered via the Internet. His name is 'Buckethead'. He's a strange one alright, KFC chicken bucket on his head and a white china mask.....oh and he walks like a robot as well sometimes. I know he sounds ridiculous but who cares when he plays the way he does. I have bought all 9 of his 'Buckethead' records over the last few weeks and he has really woke me up as a player. The thing that strikes me most about his playing is how diverse he is. I read somewhere on the net that every album his creates is like a snowflake, completely different to the next. Having played his CD's to death I would have to agree. He is an incredible player who can turn his hand to any style. Styles include extreme metal (grindcore), funk, techno and dance,  trance, dance chillout, thrash metal and 80's style metal. I love all his C.d.'s but I have a particular love for 'Bucketheadland 2' album, a bizarre audio trip through his trippy theme park Bucketheadland. I love the narrative that accompanies the music. Just my type of humour. Imagine a cross between the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and South Park and you're in the zone! Another great CD is ' Bermuda Triangle' (great 70's style cheesy voice acting!) and the awesome 'Colma' album which shows his more subtle side, it sounds like a dance chillout album played on guitar. If you are looking for a new musical experience you won't go far wrong if you check out Buckethead. His offical site is www.bucketheadland.com , just do him the justice of not judging him by his appearance.
 
If you are ever on the net looking for new players to get your creative juices flowing try the great website www.guitar9.com .It's not a mainstream site so don't expect any 'chart players' on there. Go to the opening page and find the 'listening room'. It's a great page for finding players you would probably never hear if it wasn't for the site. All featured artists have mp3s for you to listen to. I spend too much of my life on this site, that's where I found out about Buckethead. Another amazing player you should check out is Mattias AI Eklund (Freak Guitar) and also try Bumblefoot. Go and have a listen, let me know what you think via the guestbook.
 
I am very close to completing the first track from my new C.D.. It's a song about one of those great days that we all look back on and remember with a warm glow inside us. It's called 'The Orange Box Music Festival', it's turning into something really nice for me. It's not completely finished yet so I will talk about it in more depth next time.
 
Good luck to all Students in for guitar examinations this spring. I know you will all do well .
 
Just a quick reminder there won't be any lessons on May Day.
 
I hope everybody will join me in wishing John Boswell (this sites creator) a happy birthday for 1st May. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATE!!!!
 
 
Have a good month everybody and try to find a unknown guitarist who blows you away, let me know if you find any
March 2005
Hi folks!
 
 Happy Easter
 
 Hope you are all enjoying the Easter holidays.I have a week off at the moment so it gives me the chance to write the diary page without having to rush to my next lesson.
 
 I have had some great news and I can't wait to tell you about it. My album '1969' will be featured on a new Wolverhampton radio station shortly. This is a great chance to get some exposure for my music and I'm very grateful to Matt Lewis, one of the stations DJ's, for helping me to promote my music. Matt is currently preparing for his new job and he assures me that the CD will be played on his show and he will also interview me on-air! (Check the GUESTBOOK of this site for his 5 star review of my album)
Matt is no stranger to the 'lime-light', as a child he was a weekly feature on 'the' Saturday morning children's  t.v. show legend that was T.I.S.W.A.S. It featured many now household names such as Chris Tarrant, Lenny Henry and Jasper Carrot. Matt has been on t.v recently too, a year ago he made an appearance on the Frank Skinner show were he caught up with his old T.I.S.W.A.S mate Chris Tarrant. After the show he went for a drink with him too! It's a real thrill to be given this chance Matt,so thanks for this great opportunity. I can't wait to hear my own music on the radio. I have read with envy about other artists who describe the way they feel the  first time they hear their music on the radio. I'm going to get my chance to experience that feeling too.
 
Near the air dates I will post a special message on the GUESTBOOK and also submit an extra diary page detailing the play time-table. I hope you will all tune in! 
  
Next up is the progress on my next album.
  
I'm just starting to record that now. I will be using many new recording techniques this time round. I have spent alot of time on preliminary drum and bass recording. This will be handled differently this time round. For this C.D. I will use a more advanced recording approach, this will enable me to have greater flexibility at mixdown and post production. 
I'm going to stick with drum machines (I prefer the sound of them over real drummers anyway), but this time because I'm not too restricted by available tracks I'm going to record most of the drums to individual tracks. i.e. kick drum to track 1, snare drum to track 2, hi-hat to track 3 e.tc.
Using this approach each drum can be tuned to perfection. For example a common feature of drum recording is to add more reverb to the snare drum than the rest of the kit. This push's the snare through the mix and gives the overall drum sound a professional feel. Another production trick is to add an 'expander' to the hi-hat and also 'big' EQ to the kick drum.
This technique also allows you to pan the drum kit in a more useful way. Think about it, if you record a drum machine onto just two stereo tracks they may sound great until you add all the other instruments into the mix. Once other instruments are added you may want to slightly chance the panned position of any of the drums. That's not possible if your drums are sitting across just two tracks as the panning is now 'set'. If all the drums are on separate tracks you can more the position of any of the drums near to mixdown. It just gives a bigger kit sound. This wasn't possible on my last C.D. due to track limitations. It shouldn't be a problem on my new set-up.
 
 The album itself will be another rock instrumental C.D.. However I do want to try and suprise people with it, so I suppose I should say expect more of the same but it 'will' be different.
 
 John Boswell has said he will help again, this is a massive help to me as I couldn't have got the first one done without him. So then John are you ready for some more stress!!!
 
 Lessons are fully booked and I would like to thank all students for their on-going support.
 
 Have a great Easter.
  
All the best

Hi guitar lovers!
 
 I know this page is late this month. There is a reason but unfortunately I can't say (just yet!).I delayed this months page by a few days in-case I got the news I was hoping for. I know that all sounds a bit 'secret squirrel' (ace cartoon from the 80,s!) but I run the risk of looking a right fool if I mention 'IT' and it doesn't happen. If 'IT' does happen though it will be really cool! (oh god! this is getting silly already).
 
 The most I can say about 'IT' is that there are three things going on behind the scenes all of which are very exciting. I'm going to stop going on now but needless to say I will keep you all posted.
 
 A lot of students this month have shown a great interest in the RGT graded examination syllabus. I think that's great. I do all I can to encourage any student to start the study path. Also it's so well structured that regardless of your playing level you are sure to learn something useful, and don't forget for every exam passed you get a University of Thames Valley certificate to hang on your wall with pride. The exams themselves have not long been upgraded and sit directly in line with GCSE's and 'A' levels. They also count as University entry points, always worth having I reckon.
 
 Contact the Registry of Guitar Tutors to checkout the syllabus and University points attached to each certificate.
 
 Album wise it's all systems go again. (God , it feels like I haven't stopped). Ideas galore. I will keep you posted every month.
 
The guitar studio is still running at full capacity, thanks to all students as usual.
 
Not much more to add this month if I being honest so we will keep this one as a short entry. I'm not going to waffle for the sake of it.
 
  All the best everyone
  
See you next month

Hi  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (a bit late I know but that's how these diary entries go!)
 
Hope you all had a great Christmas and New Year. I had an unusual one this year. I'm not used to taking long holidays from work but this year I decided I would. 16 days of pure laziness!!! I did nothing but laze the short winter days away, it was a right treat! I didn't even play guitar!
 
 It was also a great time for reflection. I thought a lot about the previous year, 2004. It was the best yet!
I set myself a few goals to aim for and I'm happy to report that I achieved them all. The cd (1969) got finished and went on sale just before Christmas, I must say I am thrilled with the level of interest the cd has created. Almost everybody who has bought it has said that they really like it (check the GUESTBOOK for comments). Thanks to those people for their kind words. Also my next record is in the early planning/recording stages and will hopefully be available before the end of 2005. I'm pencilling in a Septemberish release date.
 
It will be so different too, I can already tell that it will be even at this early stage. I don't see why I can't get one done every year really, should get easier the more I do.
 
 A big thank you to all visitors to this site. January 2005 saw the 10,000th visitor, not bad considering this site has only been going for 13 months. An incredible amount when you consider this site is not advertised and most surfers were most probably word-of-mouth. Here's to the next 10,000 hits!
 
 It's been a crazy time for gear again! First off though I must tell you about a guitar shopping trip I went on with John Boswell (This sites creator).
He asked me to go to Birmingham with him over the Christmas break and try out a few guitars with him as he was on the look out for a new guitar. We tried 'Sound Control' first. John had told me he was on the look out for an IBANEZ. We tried a few jems and had a quick nose at the js series too. Nothing seemed 'really good'.
Off to 'Professional Music Technology' and we made ourselves comfortable in the 'guitar booth' and just lined em up and spanked away. First off the bat a blue Ibanez jem. I was suprised by this guitar as I own a floral jem myself, but I have to say it was 'poor'. Don't know what it was, it just didn't have anything 'there' at all. It was a no-no from the word go. We then tried a few of the high end RG and J-Custom models, again nothing blew us away (remember we are talking £1400-£2000 price range here).
John was depressed! We were just about to go home when in a stroke of pure desperation John pulled a js1000 off the wall. I would never have thought to try it myself, but it taught me a lesson I'll never forget.Try everything you can when looking for a guitar! The guitar was absolutely incredible. Tonewise it shocked me to the core! It's the bluesy-ist guitar I have ever heard in my life. The clean tone was killer, crystal clear and full of body. John didn't take the shops stock model but did go on to order the js1200 in candy apple red. SNOB!!! He's awaiting delivery but can rest assured he's getting one killer tone-dog! Nice one John!  Can I have a go when you get it please?!
 
 Just as the cd was released I upgraded my studio (another crazy day with JB!).
My new studio is the flagship Roland vs2480cd. It's a 24track digital recording studio of the highest standard. I was blown away when I heard the recording quality, it's difficult to explain how good it sounds but it really has put a smile on my face. I am pleased with my debut album '1969' but the next one will be a quantum leap in terms of quality and production. This is due in no small part to the flexibility of the Roland unit. I'm excited by the new set-up and it will inspire me to write the next record.
I also took a new pair of monitors with the studio. 60watt Roland digital monitors. I'm still waiting for delivery on these but they sound great. Really clean and punchy.
My old drum and bass machine is now in retirement and has been replaced with the new BOSS Dr-880. It's the 'biz' and will bring even better sounds to my next cd.
 
 Lessons are really busy as people have just received new guitars as Christmas presents. Please be patient if you are on the waiting list, I will contact you as soon as I have an available space.
 
 Congratulations are due to Keith Poulson, Paddy Cumming, Chris Lewin, Rob Wolverson and Mathew Glover who all passed their Winter guitar examinations with 'flying colours'. You all did really well.
 
 I'm gonna leave it there folks, if you still haven't got a copy of my cd '1969' email me from the CONTACT page of this site and I will arrange delivery for you.
 
 All the best
 
Scott Adams
