Promo for my Instrumental Guitar CD Cosmic Playground

There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorge’s playground. It’s fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion.
Guitar Player magazine

“If there’s justice in the world, Rod DeGeorge will be one of the brightest stars amongst 21st century new guitar heroes…this is one of the hottest guitar instrumental records in the last few years. A must buy, no doubt about it!” – 10 out of 10 points.
HammerWorld Magazine, Hungary

“Check out this adventurous young fella: his playing is very exciting, and his technical proficiency is quite admirable.”
Elliott Randall (Steely Dan/Solo Artist)

“It almost frightens me about what we may see in the future from this incredibly talented musician. Cosmic Playground is more than a calling card…it’s a full-on statement of purpose that he has arrived and demands your attention”
Progscape.com

Rod DeGeorge is by far one of the most prolific talents I have come across in a long time. His international flavor is sure to become a heavy influence on future artists for years to come

“I would pity the Devil if he ever made his way from Georgia to Pennsylvania cause as bad a time as he had with Charlie, he would just be thrashed by Rod!”
Sea of Tranquility

“Rod DeGeorge has the potential to be a big guitar hero like Steve Vai or John Petrucci. Points: 15/10 (no, not 10…15!!!)”
Gitarren-Blog.de
“Solid, clean playing and great shredding skills abound, but unlike the modern prog-metal heads who are into shredding without making much of a musical statement, this guitarist speaks volumes in his writing, technique, and phrasing.”
Music Street Journal
“Then there was Rod DeGeorge’s legendary playing I’d heard so much about and finally got to see. And yes, he’s as good as the rumors and then some”. -Roving Reporter, Cindy Rutolo – Dietrich, PA Musician

“DeGeorge’s guitar work is nothing short of magnificent and his songs have interesting and inventive chord structure changes” – Jim Speese, Reading Eagle

quick run through of my song Cosmic Playground, from my Instrumental Guitar CD Cosmic Playground, in my studio through a practice amp:)

Advanced Hybrid Picking II with Marshall Harrison

Here we use hybrid picking to solve some nasty problems that arise while playing certain scale and arpeggio sequences. Try playing with a clean tone and VERY slowly at first, then speed up gradually. I really should have played it slower but oh well I got carried away.

Shawn Lane demonstrates Hybrid Picking (Aulnay sous Bois, France – 15th May 1995)

Here Shawn Lane demonstrates his use of Hybrid Picking, at a clinic he did in Aulnay sous Bois, France on the 15th May 1995.

For years now the location and date of this clinic has been a big mystery, all anyone knew was that it was from France sometime in the mid 90’s….. so i did some research with some french musicians that i thought might know about this event, or have contacts that do. I discovered that this clinic took place in a town called Aulnay sous Bois, in France…. and that the clinic started at 4pm in the afternoon of the 15th May 1995.
