TAB Guitar School's 20th anniversary special concerts Vol.3
"Tony McManus Japan Tour 2011" went successfully!!!

We organized the Japan tour of Tony McManus in April 2011. As John Renbourn described him as "the best Celtic guitarist in the world", Tony is recognized as one of the most high-level guitarists who have Celtic musicality as their musical roots. For this tour, he performed in Osaka, Nagoya and Tokyo. Although it was the difficult time for Japan after the disaster by the big earthquake, his music healed all the people in concerts. He also appeared as one of the guests for the annual big event "Fingerpicking Day" in Yokohama, which is held by Moridaira co. (other guests were Rynten Okazaki, Tokio Uchida and Daisuke Minamizawa). We put the photo pages of this tour on our web site. Click here (The photo pages are written in Japanese. But I think you will be able to watch the photos).

TAB Guitar School's 20th anniversary special concerts Vol.2
"David Laibman Japan Tour 2011" went successfully!!!

As Vol.2 of our 20th anniversary concerts, we had "David Laibman Live in Japan 2011" tour (Tokyo-Osaka-Nagoya-Tokyo). He is "the pioneer of ragtime guitar" who tried to arrange fabulous ragtime pieces of the typical great composers such as Scott Joplin, James Scott and Joseph Lamb for fingerstyle acoustic guitar seriously. His arrangements were the really acheived ones as he converted the possibility of the piano to the guitar and influenced many guitarists. Tokio Uchida joined the gigs and played his solos as well as the duos with David. We put the photo pages of this tour on our web site. Click here (The photo pages are written in Japanese. But I think you will be able to watch the photos).

As TAB Guitar School's 20th anniversary special concert Vol.1, we had the concert of Michel Haumont at Back In Town in Tokyo on Dec. 3rd. Michel is one of the most well-known excellent French acoustic fingerpicking guitarists. For the show he performed various tunes from European taste elegant instrumentals to groovy galloping-style fingerpicking numbers influenced by Marcel Dadi. The audience enjoyed his solo performance as well as the duos with Tokio Uchida. We put the photo page of this concert on our web site.
