BP, you doing any in the twin cities, MN area? You should hit up the Oakdale store, though I know we're kind of the underdog since we're still sorta new. But I'd stop by for sure if you did the Roseville store, or whichever. The twin cities is a pretty good market for gc (we have 4 stores), but we never seem to get any of these really cool clinics. Work your magic :).

Listen I dont really want to play myself but the guys insist...Ill show you emails from MOrse for this upcoming trip....Nobody wants to hear an old geezer play with their idol.

Here is the excert from ,my emails to Luke and Steve MOrse:
"BOys these are less about clinics and more about talk shows live. A
little Jerry Springer A little Valerie Bertinelli. I also want to avoid
playing if at all possible. Its like showering between two porn stars
in a cold room. I'm also a little sensitive to people thinking that it
may be self indulgent."

THis is from Steve Morse
"It's not self indulgent to play the instruments
that you make. It may seem more self indulgent to talk the whole time,
from my experience, people get antsy and demand some music if I talk
for too long. It doesn't have to be scripted out, but at least if we
have a few tunes to choose from, that we know we can do, it would help
get the ball rolling."

So Ill play and get slayed on You Tube.

THis is fun to show you guys the real inside of the deal...the valerie bertinelli and jerry springer show comparisions were just a joke.btw

Biff, I guess what I'm asking is what GC does with the videos (besides parting them out on the intertubes) and if they might have them available for purchase at some point.

Youtube is a necessary evil, but not ideal for quality.

If you search youtube for Guitar Center Sessions you can see some of the stuff for Petrucci (though I didn't browse all of the results, so I don't know if there's any other MM related ones out there). User comments are not too friendly towards BP though :)

Some of those comments are just plain stupid. I listened to the whole Patrucci thing all 5 sessions and not once did I think BP was an a-hole. Some people just suck.
