August, 2008 It's been a while since I updated my website, so here we go: - At the end of June I did a workshop for a week at ToneZone in Cary, North Carolina. Thanks again to Derek Butler for having me. - After this workshop I played 3 gigs with Jeff Sipe
and Neal Fountain. We record all those gigs and the last one will be
very soon available - At the first gig in Wilmington I met Daniel Klein from Port City Amplification who told me about the new speaker cabinets he is building and asked me if I wanted to try one out. I did and I was blown away. It was a 2x12 cabinet (the OS version) and it sounded HUGE! Guess what, now have one at home and I can't recommend those cabinets highly enough. Check out the Port City website. - In May I got an endorsement from Godin Guitars - I am now the proud owner of a Freeway SA - which is a wonderful guitar that I will use as much as possible. I already used it on an instructional DVD that I did for LickLibrary in May. - UKZ: We finally met! In July we rehearsed for 2 days
in Los Angeles. - I played 2 gigs with the Virgil Donati band (one in May and another one in July). The music is very challenging but also fun to play. Virgil put up to short clips of those shows on YouTube. - Tomorrow I am going to Austria for 2 weeks. I will teach at a summer seminar in Schoenbach. - Normalizer 2 is still in the works. I finished a couple of tracks last week and will continue working on this as soon as I am back from Europe.
April, 2008 - Virgil Donati invited me to join his band - we will play our first gig on May 3rd at the Baked Potato (see dates) - in January I did some weblessons for LickLibrary. In these lessons I covered a couple of concepts for chord voicings. - Here is a YouTube clip from the gig with Kai Eckhardt

2 project ...This CD should be finished and released
