Train To Ericland
.: info :.
This is a song that I wrote for Eric Roche who opened up my eyes to the percussive possibilities of the guitar. I first met him when I attended his first Residential Guitar Workshop in Newton Ferrers, Devon, UK in October 2003. Watching him play just blew me away with all his energy and musicality. Even though the workshop was only a week, it changed my playing in so many ways. I wrote this piece gradually after I came back to Malaysia from the workshop. About a year later, I finally performed this piece for Eric. I'm glad he liked it. Thank you for the inspiration Eric.


-UPDATE- Recently, Eric Roche passed away after a year over fighting cancer. He continues to inspire me and many others through the legacy of his music. For more info on him and his music, log on to www.ericroche.com
