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!

Hi guys, sorry. I planned to be active again. Unfortunately, for a moment, it seems I have to take a step back, as much as it pains me. I do not know if I ever disclosed it, but my grandfather has cancer. He has been battling it for 3 years now, and although it was in remission, it has returned. So, this is something I have to be there for my family for. I will be dropping and going through the courses as I can still, and in the meantime, I hope you all are well.

This was taken yesterday at our monthly Transform your Guitar Playing Masterclass. We happen to have The Violinist from the Band Kansas, David Ragsdale Join us on this totally sick Jam! Also I got more of Clinic 3 up and Im about to start posting Clinic 4, yesterday as it is mind boggling and Sid shows you how to get well over 200 melodies out of the C Major Scale in 1 octave and way more in 2 ;)

I was telling Chris about him last night. He is blind and lives in Nashville and is a Savant like Shawn and is a master of many instruments actually. Here he is just tearing it up on an acoustic guitar with Tommy Emanuel! Insanity! Sid and I are both huge Rory Hoffman fans!
