Kevin was also a student of Shawns for a long time and very close friends. He and Dave Flexer hung out with Shawn a lot and Kevin has also been a guitar teacher for over 20 years in Birmingham Alabama. He is an incredible guitar player and will probably be helping us as a teacher as we build this incredible community! Kevin also has many great Shawn stories and worked at Strings N Things with David Flexer for many many years. And I dont know Kang, but welcome aboard and if you have any questions feel free to ask!

Today is Sids Birthday yall! @Sid Woolfolk Ok so Joes New Pizzaria has decided not to open on Sundays anymore so we had to get a new venue for our Monthly Atlanta Guitar Masterclasses. He did find a place and we are picking it up in June. I will be way more active in here after this week yall. I have had two close friends pass away in the last couple weeks in Memphis, one of them was the bassist for Saliva and a friend of Shawns Matt Dees and he passed away yesterday. From Sid and Yes we are about to get him ready to go live as well! Im going to try and hop on tonight or tomorrow night. I'm excited to announce we have a new location for our TYGP Workshop. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, June 7th at Rehearse Live LLC located right off of "Spaghetti Junction". The workshop will be followed by an open jam, and everyone is welcome to play. More details coming soon! Dont forget yall, we have founders pricing back and these courses and premium membership content is absolutely worth it if your on the fence about signing up. Well its less than a dollar a day and there is unreleased Shawn Material in there as well so $29 per month or $300 per year and that will be locked in as long as you stay a member! Also earn money with us or at the very least get your membership paid for by using our affiliate program. Anyone you refer with your code you get 40% of whatever they are signed up for every single month! Skool does this automatically with their program or if you know anyone that might want to start a skool community there are affiliate links for that as well. I pay $100 per month for this community, well we pay as a collective so imagine if you knew people to start their own communities such as maybe @Chris Alexander wanted to start a learn to work on cars community, well if you referred him and he paid the $100 per month every month you would get $40 of that! Help us grow this thing yall, the more members we get the more resources we have where we can dedicate much more time to this and start some of these other projects!

Looking forward to being here!

Hey @Bill Oliver and @Mick Trammel can yall please enlighten everyone on the relationship between Shawn and Eric Johnson? When did they meet? I know they played together and were friends but I wanted to get calls stories on this!

I want yall to welcome @Bill Oliver Bill knew Shawn when he was a kid and Bill was a Rhodes Scholar and he and his frat brothers knew Shawn was a young genius. Bill is the one that introduced Shawn to Holdsworths Music and in fact is the one that took Shawn to see him play and Bill said after that very night Shawn chaged everything about his playing within a few weeks. Bill was Shawns closest friend over the years and we have been friends for about 30 years and it is an honor to have him be a part of this community and he knows a lot about Shawn so the Q&A section, feel free to tag him! Welcome Brother! We have another huge surprise coming into the group as well hopefully later today!
