G-TARanaki 2008

Post by G-TARanaki official »

Some of the biggest names in guitar playing will be descending on New Plymouth for New Zealand's first international guitar festival G-TARanaki from 14-19 July 2008.

Guitar hero Joe Satriani will head an all-star lineup in the six-day celebration of all genres of guitar playing that will include workshops, forums, concerts, and jam sessions that everyday New Zealanders can take part in.

The event will also showcase other legendary axemen including Glenn Hughes, former frontman of Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Uli Jon Roth, Guns and Roses' Gilby Clarke, Tim Donahue, and the Alex Skolnick Trio.

Aimed at providing a learning experience like no other, G-TARanaki will move beyond concert venues and out into local schools for Sky Academy workshops in Opunake, Inglewood, and Waitara.

"G-TARanaki will be unlike any concert or series of concerts ever seen in New Zealand. This will not be a case of the artists coming in, playing a concert, and leaving again."

The details on the masterclasses haven't been finalised as yet but will find out asap.


As for prices for the concerts here they are...

The onstage experience tickets for Saturday’s show have sold out and only a handful remain for Friday night. Tickets to these two major events are on sale now from Ticketek, $85 per event or $140 for both events.

I was interested in the jam session/lesson more than anything else.
