GMC Forum _ PRACTICE ROOM _ New Instructor - Rousseau Mannan

Posted by: Kristofer Dahl Oct 8 2008, 03:06 PM

Hi there,

Today I am happy to present Rousseau Mannan from Bangladesh/US.

Rousseau will be covering topics which we haven't seen any of yet - he will be starting with an Indian Raaga! I am very excited about this - as I think he will teach us stuff we can use in our phrasing to get away from standard rock "clichés". (I can't think of a better way add originality into phrasing etc)

Here is a short bio of his:

QUOTE

Rousseau grew up in a musically inclined family and started playing the guitar at a very early age. He received guitar lessons from various instructors in Bangladesh and also studied classical guitar at the University of Central Oklahoma. Rousseau worked as a session musician and also played with famous bands and rock/pop solo artists of Bangladesh; such as, James (a.k.a. Nagar Baul), Kronic, Shadow of Doom, etc.
Currently he is busy working on his first solo instrumental EP, playing for his band “BIM” (Brothers in Madness), giving guitar lessons, and also recording and producing music for various artists at his home studio in Edmond, Oklahoma.
