Thanks for another great interview, Adam, and for bringing Emil to my attention. I don’t know how the hell you fit it all in! Just keep going, Emil summed up what your inspiration etc means to us out here in wannabe pseudo-competent fingerstyle land!

Hi
Oh, man I guess I must be the most frustrated finger picker in Europe before hearing this podcast.
I wanted to attend the boot camp in Sweden and tried to get a seat three months ago, when I learned about it – but all seats were taken.
Magnus from DalaGuitar did put me at the top of the waiting list – and I waited until a couple of weeks before the camp before I gave up – or just forgot about it….
One week after the boot camp had taken place I discovered that I missed an email from Magnus where he offered me and six others a spare seat. I was at the top of the list…..
I missed it and I am so darn tired of it 🙁
On the other hand this podcast is very helpful in my agony – because two fantastic musicians with such passion for their craft and music, share their thoughts on things for all of us to enjoy – and its so obvious that they have tremendous admiration and respect for each other.
They could spend hours in privacy sharing ideas and playing music, not needing any feedback from the public at all (They probably already have at the boot camp at the Siljan Lake in Sweden 😉 ).
Emil and Adam, Thank you so much for being so immensely (talented) and generous enough to share this wonderful talk about your music and careers – I believe that it is the same kind of generosity that make you play music for all of us to enjoy in the first place – so thank you very much for every bit of music and thoughts about music and business that you share with the world.
Please keep on doing what you love – it is very inspiring.
I loved this podcast – and I am feeling much better even if I missed the boot camp this year.
Please tell when you will get together and do a boot camp again. (Near Denmark where I live)
Cheers Måns
