Just in from NAMM. Great Show, great
to be with Warr Guitars for their
triumphant return to NAMM. Hundreds
came by the booth, dozens tried out the
instruments. It was Great to see
veterans of other touchstyle instruments making
great music on the Warr at first touch.
I did some demonstrating, but the monster
player we showcased the most was
Randy Strom, who is such a tremendous
player. Jim Wright is also on the top
shelf, he demonstrated the Phalanx and
its alternate approach.
Also great to see performances by Trey
Gunn, and sponsoerd by other
companies: Will Lee, Matt Garrison,
CGT, and Earth Wind and Fire(!).
Then also on Warr Guitar there is Brian
Kenney Fresno - I can't desribe it,
you have to see it for yourself.
