mangotango Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 The Scott Devine Academy has organised a Clinic with Hadrien Feraud for next week. They ran a comp for 20 lucky academy members to be amongst the attendees. Yesterday morning, I had an e-mail telling me that I was amongst that number. What a great way to start my 2020!! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So obviously the whole thing was videoed and will be available on SBL Academy at some point. It was a really interesting session - Hadrien was at times trying to overcome the language barrier for technical musical terminology...but when he played, it all became clear. Great player, very jaco-esque phrasing and sound, but his technique looks like he's playing classical guitar - barre in positions, moving chords up the neck, right hand positioning.... Anyway, although we'd been told not to take basses, because only Hadrien would be playing, just before the start, Scott Devine asked if anyone had a bass in their car? SOOOO tempted to reply "Yes....but my car's in Essex!" but on reflection, glad I didn't. 🤔 Eventually, someone rustled up a 5-string Jazz which was deemed OK, and applicable for the guy with the tinselled dreadlocks who came in and sat at the back. 'Cos it was Thundercat. Of course it was. So they jammed over a few tunes, and even though the amp started screwing up, what they played (and in TC's case, sang) sounded very good indeed. Tried to get some video, but wanted to see it happen rather than just watch in on a screen, so not much of any use. Will comb through what I have and add it later if it's any good. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 Was lucky enough to attend too. My main takeout was HF attributing his gains to transcription and just putting the hours in - not some innate gift, which is sort of encouraging. Seeing them play together up close was pretty mind blowing , insane technical facility. Fun day out, looking forward to seeing the eventual SBL vid. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
