NEWS: Paul Gilbert VIP lessons in Southern California
Here’s something I think I might just have to check out while I’m in California for NAMM: Paul Gilbert is offering ‘VIP lessons’ for two days to coincide with NAMM. Only problem is that I won’t have a guitar with me in the US. Maybe I should get me an Ibanez Mikro or something!
By the way, before I get to the details, check out Paul’s guest post for I Heart Guitar, where he talks about his Ibanez Fireman Kikusui Ginjo Junmai custom.
Here’s some info from Paul’s site:
For the first time in the Southern California…
I will be offering VIP lessons for two days, January 17th and 18th, 2010.
I have chosen the time and location to coincide with the NAMM show, to make it convenient for out-of-town students as well as those living in Southern California. Here are the details:
LOCATION:
ONLY ONE MILE FROM NAMM!
Wall of Sound Studio
1745 S. Claudina Way
Anaheim, CA 92805
www.wallofsoundstudios.com
VIP Lesson Inlcudes:
* A 75-minute guitar lesson with me.
* Each lesson is limited to 6 students. This small class size allows me to give personal attention to each student. I will answer questions, give guitar sequences, techniques, and advice based on your current level, and we will all plug in and jam together! I want to hear YOU play, so I can give you focused and practical advice.
* An exclusive booklet with my newest phrases and techniques.
* A Paul Gilbert Tour t-shirt.
* A set of custom guitar picks.
* You are welcome (and encouraged) to bring an audio recorder to remember the details of the lesson. (no video, please)
* At the end of the lesson, I will sign autographs and take pictures.
What Should You Bring?
Just bring your guitar! Amps, cables, and tuners will be provided. If you want to record the lesson, please bring a small audio recorder. If you would like a photo together, please bring a camera. (If you have a locking tremolo, please set-up your guitar to standard “E” tuning.)
DATES and TIMES:
SUNDAY, January 17th: Start times: 1pm, 3pm, 5pm
MONDAY, January 18th: Start times: 1pm, 3pm, 5pm
Please arrive 15 minutes early to sign in.

Hi! I'm Peter Hodgson. I write for Gibson.com, Australian Guitar, Australian Musician, Mixdown Magazine (including my instructional column, 'Unleash Your Inner Rock God,' which has been running since 2007), guitarworld.com, Tone Deaf, Beat (including their weekly hard rock/metal column Crunch) and The Brag. And I'm Assistant Social Coordinator with Seymour Duncan.
I've been playing guitar since I was 8 years old, and I've been writing for magazines since I was 18. I've also worked as a guitar teacher (up to 50 students a week), a setup tech, a newspaper editor, and I've also dabbled in radio a little bit. I live in Melbourne, Australia, and my hobbies include drinking way too much coffee, and eating way too much Mexican food.
You can check out my guitar playing at Reverbnation or on YouTube, and feel free to email me at iheartguitarblog@gmail.com
Private. Lessons. With. Paul. Gilbert.
*dies*
Man . . . that would be the greatest thing ever. Paul's my hero. A pity that the lessons are after my spring semester starts and there's no way I could afford to go there. Ah well. I'm not good enough to deserve lessons from Paul anyway . . .
I'd get a ESP LTD KH-Jr… Hang on I HAVE got one ;-)
that is so awesome. why can't you carry a guiter to namm ?i'm pretty sure you can in a gig bag, carry one of your Rg's
Man, this just makes me sick. I would LOVE to have a lesson with the master, but there's no way I could afford this since my wife's been out of work for 7 months. One of the few times that living in southern California would really have worked for me, too. Damn this economy.
Ah well, my best wishes to everyone who plans to sign up for these lessons. I'm jealous as hell of anyone who gets to go, but I will forgive you on one condition; make some beautiful music and enrich the world the way Mr. Gilbert has.
Have a many good wishes to everyone who agree to ener this site.
hellow …that would be the greatest thing ever.
that is so awesome.
