Roo's 66 Hot licks, instructional software released!
"Im happy to present you a new guitar tool that I put on with Guitar Assault (instructional guitar website) :
Roo's 66 hot licks. We worked hard to create a very easy to use tool that will help you to build your own guitar solos, improve your improvisation skills and creativity around a 66 rock guitar chop's data bank! The best is that other versions (different styles/artists) with free upgrades will come regulary which make buying this guitar tool now a full worthwhile invest! Check it out now! "

Roo instructor at guitarmasterclass.net
“I’ve joined the official instructors team at top ranked guitar lesson website: GuitarMasterClass.net You can already check out free samples of my First Lesson ¤

Next to this, I have been working hard on my instrumental project. I have scored and pre-recorded the final set list -a lot of 16th notes ;) We will probably go straight for an Ep album instead of a demo. I'll keep you informed about that... ¤ (Ps: Because of spams, we’re about to close the guestbook. Let’s meet on myspace!)”

Roo stops live session work with the band Codeon.
“Because of schedule difficulties due of my other projects and also for financial reasons, the band Codeon decided to hire a new live session guitarist and then to stop our collaboration. I am not totally happy with that decision but music business is made of these and I respect their choice. I keep in touch with the guys.”
