Brett Garsed Discussion

Brett rocked out once again in Brisbane. We were lucky enough to to have a pretty small room and we all had a close view. Brett really rocked out with some of his smooth and yet crazy (tonally and speedwise) lines, moreso than he did at the Brisbane Guitar Show, in my opinion.

It was really cool, got to talk with Brett again after the show and finally got my copy Big Sky, it is truely an awesome album and the title track is particularly amazing. In fact, he showed me the fast lick from the solo, which was sweet, because it is easier than it sounds, just showing how good Brett is at using speed effectively. Got talking about other sweet guitarists like Guthrie Govan. It's really funny because Brett seemed like he's in complete awe of Guthrie, and yet Guthrie loves to do licks in the style of Brett Garsed whenever he has to write licks for 'Guitar Techniques' magazine. All in all an awesome show.

Come back again soon Brett! Very Happy

Wow! It sure would have been good to have been there at the Brisbane Clinic. Sounds like its a lot of fun. I would really love to go one time if I had a chance to. Cool

Here's hoping that he might do a clinic in Mackay someday. That would be even awesome if that did happen.

Sorry no pictures.... But I thought I would post my thoughts on the day.

I was lucky enough to go to one of the master classes with Brett which was fantastic. Brett showed me how to play parts of the Myth, 4 notes per string scales and opened my mind up to a whole new way to approach modes. The only bad thing about the class was it was over to soon I have so may questions I could of asked.

After the class was the ESP clinc and I have to agree with madeh bretts plays was fantastic, I loved it when he cut loose and really lets rip. Like Brett said "you have to go for it."

Overall a fantastic afternoon and night. Thank you Brett, come back soon.

I forgot to remind Brett (and everyone else for that matter) to check out 'Fives' by Guthrie Govan, of the few recordings out there that one is my favourite, soo many tasty fusion licks and beware there is some scary unashamed widdling too! Laughing

Its off 'The Alchemists' compilation CD out on liquid note records (think you can get it off Guitar9). Brett has a track on there too IIRC.
