Thanks to Paul Gilbert expert Jenn from http://metalichicka.wordpress.com for the heads up on Paul Gilbert’s recently announced Fuzz Universe European Tour, Paul’s latest release has only just gone on sale (my copy is in the post so a review will be posted soon) but already Paul is embarking on a 2 month tour leading up to Christmas playing every day between the 5th November and 19th December kicking off in the UK and then onto all sorts of cool European countries such as Estonia, Lithuania, Czech Republic and Finland as well as the usual Euro hangouts like the Germany, Italy and Spain.

Also Miss Metalichicka noted that V.I.P. tickets are available for this tour which means you get a guitar lesson with the great man, here are the details:

A VIP Lesson Inlcudes:

* A 90-minute guitar lesson with me.
* VIP access to watch my band and me soundcheck.
* An exclusive booklet with my newest phrases and techniques.
* A Paul Gilbert Tour t-shirt.
* A set of custom Paul Gilbert guitar picks.
* A VIP Tour Laminate Pass.
* A new “Fuzz Universe” CD.
* Time to take photos and sign autographs.
* Every VIP Lesson is limited to 6 students. This small class size allows me to give personal attention to each student. I listen to each student so I can give advice, techniques, and exercises based on your current level and style. I’ll also explain my newest guitar ideas, and of course we will play our guitars together and jam!

What Should You Bring?

Please bring your guitar, a cable, and a tuner. I like everyone to get in tune in advance, so we can have more time for the lesson. (If you have a locking tremolo, please set-up your guitar to standard “E” tuning.)

If you would like to purchase a V.I.P. ticket, costing $300, head over to Elite VIP Ticket.
