Melodic, raw, and bursting with energy—the Blauwe Zaal shook (in the best possible way) during Metal in the Making, a masterclass by none other than Bart Hennephof, guitarist and co-founder of the legendary Dutch metal band Textures.
From razor-sharp riffs to unexpectedly tender licks, Bart showed just how versatile and expressive metal guitar playing can be. With lightning-fast solos and deep dives into technique, he took us on a journey through the history of metal—shining a spotlight on the electric guitar like never before.
A few reactions from the audience:
“Really fun and informative masterclass—I absolutely loved it.”
“He explained everything so clearly and gave great demonstrations.”
“Refreshing program, incredibly skilled guitarist!”
“Loved learning about the evolution of metal and how its sound has developed.”
This program was part of the BRIDGE Guitar Festival Eindhoven,, organized in collaboration with Muziekgebouw Eindhoven.
