You have to see it to believe it. With impressive musical dexterity, together with a good natured personality and maybe just a touch of complete madness, Rodney brought some of his jaw dropping guitar playing skills to an unsuspecting audience in Wombwell.

UK publisher's house artist takes Atom Live Masterclass on the road
The UK arm of Mel Bay publishing, Mel Bay Music, has announced that Rodney Branigan has teamed up with the Access To Music and its Atom Live enrichment programme to provide masterclasses for students around the country.
"Rodney has redefined the role and limits of the guitar. There is simply no way to describe this performance," said Mel Bay's Chris Statham. "He can play two guitars at once, creating music by himself that sounds like it is coming from a trio. His right and left hand frequently seem to be disassociated from each other, performing rhythm and lead parts independently also utilizing different parts of the guitar for percussion."
Branigan will be visiting Access To Music Centres across the UK providing insights into his techniques in the masterclass, before performing a local gig in the evening supported by music students. For more info go to the Atom Live website.
