Guitar Masterclass November 2009

Wednesday 25 November saw Guthrie Govan come to Exeter to give a master-class to 4 of South West Music School’s rock guitarists. The session was 4 hours long with Guthrie working through questions from the students ranging from how to play more rhythmically and how to make fast passages smooth to different pedals and hand positions.

It was so exciting to talk to him and ask him all the questions that have been building up inside me. – Ross Pike

He was really inspiring. I would love to work with him again. – Joel Stedman
