Jimi Savage has just been voted Tutor of the

On this weekend as with any other we will organize the workshops
to match the ability of the students attending the course.
We will cover basics such as scales, chords,
progressions and how these are linked together,
we will expand your knowledge of chords dramatically.

Show you soloing using different techniques as used by the top rock players such as
sweep picking,

the use of effects.

Rock guitar.
Jimi runs the 'Savage Guitar Studio', in the heart of Newcastle, he is a
great teacher and tutors students who are playing for their own pleasure and those that are entering the field
professionally.
He writes articles and demonstrates equipment for national guitar magazines such

alongside top artists such as Jennifer Batten, Yngwie Malmsteen, Richie Sambora, John
Abercrombie, Martin Taylor, Jody Fisher, Vinnie Moore, Michael Angelo and Michael Lee
Firkin.
If that is not a good enough reason to come on his weekend then I do not know what
is.
Jimi is a born musician and great teacher, he has that special ability to communicate
with his students and get across information in a simple and easy to understand
way and he gets you playing.
Jimi can play many different styles but is a Rock Fusion player
at heart. His major influences being, Edward Van Halen, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe
Satriani,
Michael Lee Firkin and Shaun Lane.
He studied music at Newcastle College and Durham New
College for a period of four years before getting his teaching qualifications.
Jimi
appeared at the Bath International Guitar Festival 1997 and has demonstrated at many
guitar shows, including the Total Guitar Road Show.
He has also recorded an EP with his
Power Band which is well worth listening to. (Contact Jimi for this).
