This is to all the participants of the 2006
First of all I just wanted to say a heartfelt thanks to all my students
who showed so much dedication and who all contributed to the whole
not only through just being there, but also by fully applying
themselves in mind and spirit. I really, really enjoyed this week
tremendously and am already looking forward to the next seminar.
Many thanks also to all those who were instrumental in getting this thing
off the ground against the odds, foremost to my friend Jeff Agins,
our production manager, who made it all happen, but also our crew, band and friends,
Olaf Senkbeil, Francis Buchholz, Michael Ehre, Ferdy Dörnberg, John Boswell,
John Kornarens, Anthony Kornarens, Stephen Claps, Tonio Neuhaus,
Ivan Lang, Mathias Dittner, Ralf Winter, Justin and Al Myers, Bobby Gervais,
Johannes Neumann, George Hernandez, Phil Woodward and Alan Cyr.
Many thanks also to the kind staff of the University Campus
particularly to Jeff Wachtel, who were extremely helpful, professional and supportive
during our 5-day stay in the hall on UCLA campus, the Ralph Freud Theater.
The “icing on the cake” for me was getting to jam with all the great guest musicians
on stage during the three concerts. I want to thank all of them for donating
their precious time in participating and making this a week of inspiration for us.
Many special thanks, of course, also to all of you who went to see and hear the concerts
and for your patience in sitting through four hour plus shows –
we couldn’t have done it without you !
We intend to hold another seminar next year at the same location
some time in April / May 2007, which will be announced shortly.

Uli Jon Roth's Sky Academy concerts are now titled
Uli Jon Roth and Friends.
The concerts will feature Uli and his all star band as well as
include many special guest artists.
The dates are May 24, May 26 and May 27 at the
Ralph Freud Theater on the campus of UCLA.
Sky Guitar Academy is to hold its first ever seminar and
Sky Music Convention at the Ralph Freud Theater
on UCLA Campus in Los Angeles, California.
This event is scheduled for May 24-28, 2006.
< >
The 5 day in Los Angeles event will consist of the following:
I
An intensive advanced guitar seminar, conducted by Uli Jon Roth.
The aim is to enable students to get to a higher level of playing ability and overall
musical awareness. There is an emphasis on imparting knowledge about little talked about
subjects such as that of inspiration. Uli draws from his own very unique set of discoveries,
which he feels contain many essential clues about how to achieve much higher levels of mastery
in relatively little time.
The seminar comprises of master classes, concerts, informal lectures and tuition.
II
Three concerts are going to be held during the evenings –
each one with a different theme.
The first two shows will feature music from all stages of
Uli Jon Roth's career, including lots of Scorpions and Electric Sun material.
The concerts will have different setlists, allowing for a wide cross-section of music.
The third concert, which is to take place on the last evening,
also involves some the best of the students who would join Uli during parts
of his concert exploring the art of improvisation together.
III
The Sky Academy Music Convention will allow like minded listeners from all over the world
to meet one another and to exchange their views. This means that Sky Academy is not only
open to performers, but also to those who just want to witness the seminar in order to broaden
their musical horizons and to be inspired by being part of the whole seminar.
