Happy New Year everyone!
Lots of stuff happening these days.. lots of time spent in the new studio, making progress on the new Quist album..can't wait to get it out there....
There's a fair few Jam Tracks in production as well - they seem to be finding a fast growing audience on Youtube/iTunes and such places! :)
Last year ended with some fun gigs, thereamongst sessions with beautiful L.A. singer Tara Priya. In this context I also met the extremely funny and very talented Raghav, as well as BBC Radio DJ Nihal at his Bombay Bronx night.
December also saw the release of the very first batch of downloadable jam tracks from www.jamtracksmania.com - now available from iTunes and all the rest of the online vendors!
And JUST before Xmas I signed a contract with a well known Guitar Magazine as I'll be writing for them in the new year... chuffed!!

'City Echoes' is out on Itunes on the 3rd day of October 2011!
Available on iTunes, Amazon, etc!
City Echoes is the first single release from the coming experimental album of the same name. The single is featured alongside tracks from guitar greats like Slash, Buckethead & Tom Morello in Quist’s first book (on rock guitar), out in the autumn of 2011 - and published worldwide by the world’s leading publisher of illustrated non-fiction books, Parragon. Experimental, dirty and virtuosic in equal measure, City Echoes has traits of P.J. Harvey, Muse and Swedish neo-classical hard rocker Yngwie Malmsteen mixed up into one hell of an explosive moment of experimental guitar music.

Just had a great session today filming a video for one of the new experimental guitar tracks - should be out on QuistTV soon - many thanks to director David Proud and his awesome crew!
One of the techniques used in this one:
I've just found out copies of my book on Rock Guitar will arrive from the printers in late September... can't wait!! It'll be out worldwide on Parragon later this year...
