aaand the answer is...



























Alex Feather Akimov




I bet you are tired of these cryptic writings by now - so I'll just say it in plain GMCish: We have a new instructor and he rocks!

Alex is a world class session guitarist and has some of the biggest names ever on his list.

He has already started spreading his vast experience on our forum - check out these topics:

But today you get more than that, check out Alex' first lesson: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/ls/Beautiful-Lani/ - a song that will be on his third album.

Also check out his http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/instructor/Alex-Feather/, two beautiful compositions - and his introduction video:




Alex's goal at GMC is to give you all the tools necessary to become a world class studio guitarist, as well as to give you an understanding of the business.

Welcome to GMC Alex, I can already feel the over-all level of inspiration here rising! biggrin.gif
