Greetings guys,
from the woods outside Gothenburg and from the Freak Guitar Camp.
I'm here with another 30+ people engrossed in all things guitars.
I've never seen so many talented guitarists gathered in one place at the same time. Mostly guys. Just two women - a shame really, we need more female guitarists i think.
And I've never seen so many high end guitars in one place - Caparisons, Suhrs, Mayones, Fenders, Ibanezes, Gibsons, Jacksons and so on.
And of course my 7/8 Warmoth Strat. (24" scale?? What are you doing in a place like this with 7- and 8-strings and 27"-scale monsters?)
Anyway, I thought I'd post some pictures here as the week progresses.
Starting with some I took of the neck of a Strandberg guitar. For those of you that haven't seen or tried one, they've got a pretty interesting design. They call it "Endur neck" and have applied a patent for it.
And here's an image of those True Temperament Frets that IA uses on several of his guitars (all laying around here for anyone to try)
I'll be trying out these a bit more to see how good they really are. I can tell you though that they don't really feel that different from normal frets.
Besides of getting to play the most complex music I've ever encountered in my life (think Zappa's Black Page) we're getting treated to guest musicians sharing their expertise.
Yesterday Ola Englund was here playing and talking about making it in this world of social media (for those that don't know he's a big Youtube player).
And here's the amazing Magnus Olsson showing his tapping, hybrid picking and legato skills.
The footage is from my phone and the volume in the room is pretty LOUD and the sound quality suffers because of this. And for some reason the sound and image doesn't sync up. But you get the idea.
To be continued ...
