My friend just did a tab book with Neil, so basically that's how I'm getting hooked up with him for the interview. Anyone have any questions for him?

Instru, is there any chance you could ask him what his inspiration was for "I'm alright", ive known it for quite a while and its nothing like ive heard before, its just so melodic, well technical proficiency thrown in. Anyway, id be so happy if you could smile.gif

Cool, I'll do my best to remember that one. I'm pretty sure "I'm Alright" is now his most popular song.

Posted by: The Uncreator Oct 7 2007, 10:33 AM

Wow...just wow, great melody, just intense and great stuff. smile.gif

oh yes I got a question

The scale that he often uses or maybe some of his personal favorite scales that defies his sound.

I can see why you're learning it. It's great biggrin.gif

Never heard anything by Zaza before, but this composition is very impressive. I must check out some of his other stuff. Thanks for sharing this!

Check out his album "Thrills & Chills" for a lot of his best stuff. "Rewind" is a good buy too - better than your average best-of package.

Not sure exactly, because I'm about to be out of town for over a month, so probably December.

I actually played with him! Well, my highschool orchestra did haha. I played violin but he taught guitar to our guitarist and he agreed to play a show with us. I guess he must be located near the akron area cus thats where I live. Anyway great guitarist and cool guy.

Posted by: Nemanja Filipovic Apr 30 2008, 09:22 AM

wow,great player,thanks for sharing!

Posted by: Danilo Capezzuto Apr 30 2008, 09:44 AM

I still remember when I have bought "Staring at the sun"...what a sound, what a guitarist!
