I came to Rockstar Experience by chance having met Leah at her stand at the Australian International Music Show. Chatting to Leah she told me they were looking for a lead guitarist to fill a spot. I immediately thought "mm they probably want a Clapton or Hendrix and I'm sure their are plenty of guitarists out their that could do a better job than me". In any case I left my email address and a few days later received an email to say they still needed a guitarist. In a moment of abandon I rang, spoke to Paul, and signed up! Best thing I could have done. Eight weeks later I was on stage with a great bunch of other players performing some great sounding songs to an audience. Each week of the program built my confidence and gave me expert advice on playing in a band, arranging tunes, and helped me to focus my guitar practice to a productive outcome. I didn't quite know what to expect and had always thought that being in a band meant becoming an expert at my instrument first This taught me otherwise and gave me confidence in my own ability and that I just needed to get up and give it a go and play to my level and capabilities. There was a place for me to grow as a guitarist in a band.. Being in a band is about playing good songs to the best of your ability. I can do that! I'm looking forward to the next round and hope to stretch my playing to more complex arrangements and songs. I now look at this program as a very valuable extension of my guitar practice. Well worth the time and effort. Well run. Thanks Leah and Paul.
