  • Blues Camp
    These are regular weekend camps for studying and playing blues/rock guitar. The tutors are all professional musicians and tutors playing a wide variety of instruments. There are performance classes, workshops and seminars. www.bluescamp.co.uk
  • Max Milligan
    Amazing player, composer/ arranger. Max is a fellow RGT senior examiner, and an all around good egg, and very funny guy. Checkout his you tube channel to see his amazing acoustic playing, some cool lessons on there too. I can highly recommend his excellent acoustic album 'Homage'. Available from his channel, web site and on itunes, I have it myself. If you ever get the chance to go to one of Max's Seminars, I recommend you go. Not only will he improve your playing, you'll learn loads of cool jokes as well!!
  • Dan Burgess
    Although this a guitar related site, this is a link to a very new site, that a very old friend that I lost touch with 20 odd years ago, when he moved to Canada, has set up. He was always a great friend and amazing artist. However, I feel you need to checkout his site, and particularly his fantastic paintings. Amazing!! I don't normally do links to non- guitar related sites, but I think he is so talented. He also has a great you tube channel, featuring his fantastic animations.
