Sydney Guitar Show

i went to the sydney guitar show yesterday with karina and ben cos karina had free tix....
quite disappointing actually cos it was actually quite a small show. there were 3 pavillions and all of them were really small and most of the guitars on display, you can see at any music store anyway. there were however, special prices for the show and my fren was looking at a pedal board that is usually over $1000 in the shops and they were selling it for $875 which is a nice discount.

we were looking for a bass for karina but there werent many on display so that was disappointing. i did see some nice guitars but didnt look too hard cos i cant really afford to buy a good one at the moment.
it was fun trying to convince karina (not very seriously) to buy a daisy rock bass. if ur bored check out the daisy rock site . was thinking maybe we should start up a girly band... and buy the daisy guitar and the heart bass...

the next disappointment for the day... i really like a sydney guitarist called stuart fraser and was really looking forward to hearing him play. he plays in a few bands but you rarely hear him play lead except for in noiseworks. he plays in the john farnham band and also i've seen him with another guitarist named brett garsed. anyway... they were running late so must have axed him... i'm so disappointed cos i think he was gonna demo some marshall products.

we did see this guy called jeremy barnes. he's apparently in the elite list of the fastest players in the world (think he plays like 40 notes per second). so we watched him on the outdoor stage for a bit... the guy is a nut... pretty impressive... i mean he's no malmstein... then again dont think he smashed his guitar either... anyway... wow!
