Eddie Manson is a professional musician that has scored and backed up
many movies.  At the Chicago SPAH he hosted a very efective workshow
wherein he would take a volunteer from the audience and critique the 
playing right on the spot.  Amazing to see how some of the guys were shaped
up in a matter of minutes.  

If you have the opportunity to encounter one of the seminars, I suggest that 
you take advantage of the opportunity.
