Chance to win Fallout Cloud V2 for uber cheap

ThorpyFX

Hopefully people will appreciate this... A very talented and awesome guitarist George Collins has been accepted into Berklee to study and enhance his Already prodigious guitar craft.

As I’m too old and too crap a guitarist to have this opportunity myself , I wanted to support George in his goal to generate funds through Go Fund me. Anyway to that end I have donated a brand new ThorpyFx Fallout Cloud V2 to him and anyone who donates to his go fund me page (£5 min suggested donation) in the next month has the chance to be selected to receive this pedal.

Great gesture. But that kid needs to make his own path and stop copying John Mayer in guitars, style, fashion, hair cuts... And now education. 

He's defo talented, and I really hope he gets there. But if he keeps this up, he'll drop out, because that is what JM did.

Damnit. This is in classifieds. Sorry, ignore me, shouldn't derail

Regardless of thread location.....he’s just turned 18. He’s clearly a fan of JM and when you are trying to find your way in life and your musical path, it is normal to emulate your heroes.

i am sure Berklee will be a formative experience..... hell its an achievement just getting in.

I've donated some money his way. I got into Berklee ten years ago but couldn't get the money together (no wonder when it's about £60k per year!) so I really hope he gets out there. Is he aiming for 2023? I'm sure by then his style and playing will have developed into something more his own but Mayer is not a bad place to start.

The only advice I can offer, and this is from people I met and friends I have from my brief time spent in Boston to attend scholarship auditions, is that the performance strand is highly competitive (as you would expect) and therefore much more challenging to secure a job afterwards whereas something like production or composing opens up other career prospects.

Best of luck to him, I'll be watching his instagram to see how he gets on.

Just a reminder this competition is open to all and you’ll have a hand in creating one of the stars for tomorrow .

The slider has hardly moved since I donated some dough.
