I am coming to you live from John Petrucci’s Guitar Universe 2018!
This year’s camp is bigger and better than any other summer session I have ever attended. Last night we had an improvised “Fractal Audio breakout session” in the main Embassy Room, where I was delighted to present the Axe Fx III and FC-12 to a large group of Fractal Audio die-hard fans and curious newcomers. Special thanks to virtuoso Jason Richardson for playing for the crowd! His own mini-concert was performed Monday night through the Axe-Fx III, which he has been working with for several weeks.
Following this we were treated to incredible performances by some of the greatest players in the universe. Guthrie Govan was stunningly entertaining. Or was it entertainingly stunning? (He played through the AX8 in either case.) Tosin Abasi could impress anyone, anywhere, anytime. It’s great to reconnect with him and hear that he is excited about the Axe-Fx III as he prepares to record new material! Andy James has a touch unlike any other and scores a perfect 10.0 every time. Jon Finn and Jon Petrucci played masterfully through their own Axe-Fx rigs, and legendary bassist Dave Larue brought his own FX8 to the jam. Every fret on every instrument hung on for dear life under the flying fingers of these geniuses. A veritable Armashreddon unfolded when all took the stage at the same time to close the show. I’ll need to take some time alone in a quiet place after that to prepare myself for what promises to be a spectacular performance tonight by Al DiMeola.
But first... Today and tomorrow, I am set up with a full array of Fractal Audio products in room 111. Bring your guitars and come play, or place your online orders for our products directly with me. These events tend to be a whirlwind but I will try to take some pictures and share them with you here today.
