I’ve been very fortunate in meeting some of my music heroes, and today was no exception. I went to Rabea Massaad’s guitar clinic at guitarguitar in Birmingham. His playing was – perhaps unsurprisingly – precise, soulful and full of really tasteful ideas that just make you want to go home and write new music.
Afterwards he stayed to chat with us, and I was privileged enough to bend the man’s ear for a few minutes . He’s just an incredibly friendly and approachable person, and seemed really interested in meeting and chatting with his fans. He really is proof that (whilst apparently rare) it is possible to be a genuinely decent person in the music business. Goodonya, Rabea!
