The chain of Music shops here who host the Exams I’m involved in are pretty switched on, and last wednesday saw the arrival of Christophe Godin to the same hotel. He was here in his capacity of ‘sponsoree’ for Laney Amplifiers, and there was a guitar clinic on thursday evening in a local public hall venue, sponsored and promoted by the music shop (since they are the India Laney importer).
In short – it was awesome, he’s a really nice guy, and I had the privilege to spend some down time with him, and we got on really well. So another great human being is added to the list of associates and friends, and he was also quite inspirational to listen to, not just in terms his playing but in what he had to say in general too.
I won’t risk boring the non-music fans here, but if anyone reading this wants to more, ask and ye shall be told. You can also check him out via his website or youtube. He plays a variety of styles including Heavy Metal, Jazz Fusion, Blues and more. He’s known for his sense of humour, virtuosic guitar skills energetic performances and overall wacky personality [no wonder we hit it off].
He was also voted 5th best international guitarist by (French) Guitar Parts Magazine.
