THE MAKING OF THE HOTLEG VIDEO FOR " Trojan Guitar"
In the words of the LEG
This is the 'not just the making of' video of the Leg's video for Trojan Guitar. Video. There are shots in there that you won't see anywhere else, including a unique 'arrow-time' sequence and a castle-top guitar solo.
The Leg brutally destroy a cast of thousands and there are delightful cameos from Paul Cornford, creator of the Leg's beloved Cornford amplifiers and three members of Saving Aimee!
Many many thanks to the amazing crew that worked so hard to make the shoot happen, the staff of Hedingham Castle for their warm hospitality, Saving Aimee for saving the day and to all of the wonderful Hotties and Legends that made the journey to Castle Hedingham to appear in or help out on the video - we hope you enjoy the results!
Great music, great.

A quick word about Cornford Records and Guthrie Govan.
Here are some very kind words from some wonderful players and industry people who seem to like the Erotic Cakes album...
Paul Cornford: Having many times being called the finest guitar player to
have graced the planet, Guthrie Govan is set
to turn the guitar playing world on its head.
'Erotic Cakes' is a listening and inspirational
jewel. Guthrie's exquisite playing will undoubtedly become the bench mark
for Guitar. Equally Seth Govan and Pete Riley have raised the bar with their Bass and drum virtuosity. The performances
here are truly amazing. The one thing that will separate
this recording from the mainstream is the musicality of the song writing
and the production.
Joe Satriani: Totally freakin awesome!!! this CD put a grin on my face a mile wide.
Richie Kotzen: Guthrie Govan can do anything he wants as a guitarist.
He has total command over the instrument; I love to
watch Guthrie live as he always plays something new
that the rest of us would never have thought of. He
is truly a gifted musician and I am honored to be a
part of Guthrie's 1st album.
(Guest solo from Richie on "Ner Ner")
Greg Howe: Guthrie is a brilliant guitarist whose super high
level of proficiency does not seem to be limited to
any one particular genre or style
Dweezil Zappa: Every time I hear Guthrie play I feel like I have to
fasten my seatbelt.
He is an alien. His technique and execution is
staggering. Ultimately what
is most impressive about him is his musicality. He has
total freedom on
guitar... BASTARD!
Rob Balducci: Guthrie is the most versatile guitarist/musician I
have ever heard. His music reaches new heights and he
can be one scary technical monster or be the sweetest
thing you tasted.
Bumblefoot, a.k.a. Ron Thal: I've known Guthrie since the days before email, when we'd write each other trading riffs. In the past years, we'd have long jams at NAMM conventions in California, and gigged together in the UK. And for all these years, I, and the rest of the world-wide guitar community have harassed him incessantly to please please release a full-length CD. Well, he's done it, and it's inspiring and mind-blowing and beautiful, as expected. Guthrie is the most-talented guitarist I've ever known,a great friend, and I'm honored to havecontributed to his album. Thank you Guthrie, for the wonderful music and all you are.
(Guest solo from Ron on "Rhode Island Shred")
Doug Aldrich: I just recieved Guthie's new record Erotic Cakes and I am floored!
Its been a long time since I heard playing and a record that cool.
Amazing songs and sick playing from the whole band on every track.
The song Waves is on my daily playlist now. Its one of those melodies
that you wont forget and you will crave to hear again and again.
I had the pleasure to meet Guthrie on tour in '05 and aside from
being one of the most gifted players I have heard, he is just a top guy.
Nice one Guthrie!....Thank you bro!
Steve Stevens: "Steve Stevens salutes you." For a whole new generation of geetar
players...Guthrie's got the ball and he's off and running with that
sucker!
Guitar Techniques Magazine: "Totally freakin’ awesome.” says Joe Satriani. “This album put a
smile on my face a mile wide!” GG’s debut has been around ten years
in the making and is one of the most eagerly awaited debut releases.
So was it worth the wait? Here’s what Whitesnake’s Doug Aldrich says:
“I’m floored! Amazing songs and sick playing from the whole band!
Waves is on my daily playlist!” And it’s true, from the moment that
first track nudges the speakers into action you know the boy has
exceeded even our greatest expectations. Weep at Eric, his tribute to
Eric Roche, grin at his million-miles-an-hour country fest Rhode
Island Shred and simply marvel at the magic of Fives and Ner Ner.
Guthrie has produced a textbook CD for everyone interested in weapons
grade rock guitar playing. As guest soloist Ritchie Kotzen puts it,
“Guthrie is a truly gifted musician and I am honoured to be a part of
his first album.” We have just one thing to say - go and buy it!
Reb Beach: The 'Erotic Cakes' CD is excellent. It doesn't get much better than that, does it? I stopped trying to improve years ago because of people like him. I love his melodies, which is rare for me when I hear other guitarists: so effortless. He is the most well rounded yet stunning guitarist I've ever heard.
Lyle Workman: Guthrie is an unbelievable guitarist, especially in light of his depth as a
musician who is clearly inspired by various genres, harmony and rhythm
extending far beyond technique-driven guitar music. The man is cooking with
a lot of ingredients. He is supremely gifted and simply astounding. Once
again, I have been reduced to guitar OWNER.
Neville Marten: Guthrie Govan is not just a brilliant guitarist; he's a fabulous
musician who can boast - although that's something he would never do -
flawless technique, perfect timing and an ear for a tune that few
players can match. At one moment Erotic Cakes has you gaping in wonder,
the next laughing with its obvious humour and then welling up as he
plays the perfect note over the perfect chord. It's been a long time
since a guitar album this good has seen the light of day.
Brett Garsed: An amazing debut! I can't wait to see where Guthrie will go with future projects as I'm sure it'll be a great and unpredictable ride!
Richard Fortus; Guthrie is one of the finest players out today. His record encapsulates all of the elements that make a truly great guitar album. His outstanding technique, unique voice and passion come through in every song. I'm sure this is just the beginning for this amazingly talented player!
INTRODUCING THE AMAZING INCOMPARABLE THOMAS LEEB TO CORNFORD RECORDS
The album Upside Down is now available through Cornford Records, please click below
Thomas Leeb
Austrian born Thomas Leeb plays a style he calls 'the bastard child of acoustic fingerstyle'. This style owes as much to percussive techniques as traditional fingerstyle guitar as his tunes are usually punctuated by slaps, pops and beats. Adding to the overall effect is his frequent use of ringing harmonics. The resulting blur of busy hands and fingers has to be seen to be believed.
His repertoire consists of self-penned numbers, traditional tunes and occasional covers such as Guns 'n' Roses' Sweet Child O' Mine and Bob Marley's I Shot The Sheriff.
Leeb released his first album, the now out of print Reveller, as a precocious 17 year old. However, his unique style didn't come into full force until his 1999 album Riddle. He has since released two further albums Spark in 2004 and Upside Down in 2006.
Along the way he has picked up a number of influential fans including Woody Mann, Alex de Grassi and Eric Roche who was his guitar teacher, "for about five minutes and then I heard him play".
HERE'S A QUOTE ABOUT THOMAS FROM THE WONDERFUL GUTHRIE GOVAN
What Thomas does with an acoustic guitar probably shouldn't be legal.
Not only does he elicit a wide variety of sounds from the instrument
which the rest of us simply can't find, he also manages to utilize
this unique vocabulary in an incredibly musical way. His pyrotechnic
playing style has to be seen to be believed, but perhaps the most
impressive thing about his technique is that it's never used
gratuitously; it always serves a musical purpose. Getting that
balance right is one of the toughest challenges facing any serious
musician... but Thomas always makes it look effortless. Highly
recommended! -G
