GMC Forum _ Bands and Guitarists _ Unknown Guitarists - Do You Know Any?
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 17 2007, 09:13 PM
Hey there!
As you know - great instructors don't grow on trees. In an attempt to have more and more updates - it struck me that you guys probably know better than anyone else about the guitarists out there on youtube or elsewhere...
So please let us know what suggestions for new instructors you have got. At this stage the video-recordings doesn't have to of very good quality - let's just brainstorm a little!

Then there's Curt Mitchell, I doubt it he'd be interested but that's for you Kris to find out.
Curt used to make those "In the style of" instruction videos. Don't know what he's got cooking now though.
He's a skilled instructor and got a forum of his own. http://curt-mitchell.com/
EDIT: Sorry, I saw now the subject said "unknown", Curt perhaps isn't known to the broad masses but not completely unknown either.

My current guitar instructer Jeff. he is good enough to play professionally and has been in about 100 bands and recorded 23 albums.
Posted by: MickeM May 18 2007, 03:11 PM
Eh... this is kind of a "I met Lassie" story but my younger brothers friend, Per Nilsson, plays guitar in Scar Symmetry. They lost the contact some years ago but when I started off playing the guitar I recall he offered to give me guitar instructions, that was in the early 90's. I didn't have the $$$ at that time and I regret it never happened. I belive he sold his sould to rock n roll (or death metal rather) 
If I remember right he's always played a 7 string Ibanez.
I don't have any contact information. Perhaps http://www.scarsymmetry.com/ will help.

Thanks for the suggestions - keep em coming...
When we have got 20-30 we will go through them and start contacting people.
Guitarman700: Do you have a link? Or an e-mail address?
Posted by: Guitarman700 May 18 2007, 03:48 PM
The problem is he doesnt have a computer. otherwise i know he would.
his friends do though so i will ask him and get back to you via email.

Do you still have that message I sent you awhile back with a whole bunch of names?
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 18 2007, 06:56 PM
Yes - thanks a bunch for it! Now is the time to use it:
Paco Hernández
www.youtube.com/user/PacoHRGuitar
Paco is a really talented improviser who recently started putting videos of himself on YouTube. He’s very nice, and he even filmed a video specifically for Guitars Suck 6. His debut album was just released for free online. My guess is that he’d definitely accept an offer to do an instructional for GMC.
Jean-Do Leonelli
www.youtube.com/user/JeanDo
www.myspace.com/742instru
Jean-Do is another guy I know, and a friend of Paco’s I think. He lives in France, but his English is good. He first contacted me a couple of months ago, and submitted some nice melodic instrumental videos, one of which I used in Guitars Suck 5. He’s an extremely nice guy, and I bet he’d be happy to help out. Being a 7-string player, maybe a lesson by him could detail some of that. Recently he formed a 7-string duo with another guitarist named Art Rodriguez. The duo is called “7-4-2” (7-strings for two), and I recently edited/produced a performance music video for their first track, “Never Enough”:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=je4qhDncXoo
Kosta Vreto
www.myspace.com/kostavreto
http://www.youtube.com/user/kostavreto
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Wrfb_iRVK48
Kosta is a really nice guy with a unique technical approach and a very cool rock-fusion sound. I think he’s filmed videos for G.S. three times now. Every time I’ve contacted him about appearing in another installment, he’s recorded and sent an awesome new video within just a few days. I can’t find his email, but I know you can contact him through his myspace page. My guess is that he could do something really special for right-hand technique, since he’s such a good hybrid-picker.
Takakazu Nakamura
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=Takakazu+Nakamura+
http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendID=1000014762
Taka is a young Japanese guitarist I recently discovered. He’d posted some technique videos filmed upside-down with a cellphone-camera on some obscure Japanese guitar blog, which I downloaded, edited and uploaded for him on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajGPuBYkXT0
Since then I’ve spoken with him several times, and asked if he’d record something for Guitars Suck 6. I wasn’t expecting anything, but he replied back with videos of four entire songs of his (which you can watch at the youtube link below his email address). Obviously his two-handed legato technique could make for an interesting GMC guest lesson. The biggest problem with him is that his English is poor, so a detailed explanation of his technique might not be very clear. But I bet he could tab everything out just fine.
Ed DeGenaro
www.eddegenaro.com
www.myspace.com/eddegenaro
I don’t know Ed well, but I’ve spoken to him a couple of times. He’s a fretless fusion player, so he might be able to do an interesting lesson about that.
Rob Sbar Noesis
www.rob-sbar.com
www.myspace.com/therobsbarnoesis
Rob is a really nice guy. I first heard him on one of the Shawn Lane tribute records. A good friend of mine takes private lessons with him, and he can’t say enough about Rob’s teaching. Rob will be filming for Guitars Suck sometime soon, so I assume he has a camera. Being a professional instructor I’m sure he could do a good guest lesson. He has a unique avant-garde sound, so his lesson could probably be a bit more jazzy.
Pash Zaburuev
www.zaburuev.ru
www.myspace.com/fusionguitar
Pash is an interesting funk/fusion player who contacted me recently. Check out one of his videos that’ll be appearing in G.S. 6:
http://www.zaburuev.ru/video/www.zaburuev.ru-cat_walk.wmv
Troy Grady
www.troygrady.com
www.troygrady.com/feedback.php
Obviously an astonishingly talented player. His break-downs and tabs of complex solos he’s transcribed are among the best I’ve ever seen. He’s currently filming a shred documentary called “Cracking the Code”, so he certainly has the right equipment. I’ve never spoken to him before, but he sounds like a nice guy. I don’t think he’d have the time to do a lesson specifically for GMC, but he’s currently tabbing out Shawn Lane’s solo on “So What” for his own site, so maybe that could be duplicated on GMC. I know he’s done something similar with one of his previous transcriptions that appeared on a popular tab site.
Stelios Arnaoutoglou
www.stelios.tk
http://www.myspace.com/guitarist_777
A personal friend of mine from Greece. I’ve only seen him on video once, but I know he has the equipment to record something. I really like his music (which you can find on his site), and he has a lot of technique to back it up. I bet he’d be happy to do something for GMC.
And here are the names, websites, and email addresses for a bunch of other guys I’ve spoken with, used in Guitars Suck, etc…

Posted by: MickeM May 18 2007, 09:54 PM

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=mattotten
A player I've checked out some time ago, good rock and blues player.
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=riffguy
Chatreo. Guy from Thailand, works in a musicstore I guess. Fast fast fast shredder, sometimes it gets sloppy. Judge for yourself. I never saw a clip in english though.

Posted by: jeff May 22 2007, 06:05 PM
I though about signing up for lessons from him, but he is so far beyond what I can play I don't know if I should!
Posted by: Aaron May 22 2007, 06:36 PM

Actually, the Chantilly one's real close to me too. I thought I knew that area pretty well (mmm...Willard's BBQ) but I had no idea there was a music shop back there. Will have to check it out.
I'm looking to maybe start taking some in-person lessons this summer if I can keep up a regular practice schedule. While I'm learning a lot here, one thing I think I need is that "stop right there you're doing that wrong" immediateness of having someone in the room with you that knows what they're doing.
Posted by: Aaron May 22 2007, 08:25 PM
sorry its not called kirk music studios its called "HOLLYWOOD ACADEMY OF MUSIC" I'll let him know that you are looking for guitarists
Posted by: Kristofer Dahl May 23 2007, 09:45 PM
OK - so we have contacted 30 guitarists via e-mail, most taken from this thread, thanks!
Please keep the suggestions coming!
Kris

That kicks ass!!!
Posted by: Andrew Cockburn May 25 2007, 07:38 PM
His rendition of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was one of the things that kicked me in the *ss and made me realize that I needed to learn shred and everything else - I downloaded a track that was labelled as a Yngwie track but was him - I was amazed, and decided to learn shred so I could use it casually in a melodic context rather than making everything about shred, just as Chris Impelliteri did in "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" .... so he's a big part of why I am here
