Malik (2 – 3pm)
Malik’s name is well-recognised by fans of band MALEX and he is no stranger to many across the Causeway and in Indonesia. Having picked up the electric guitar since he was a teenager and released his first album in the early ‘90s, Malik made a successful comeback with his current band after a hiatus. He will share his journey as a guitarist, from his first album to his reluctant hiatus and the reasons for his return and how he made his comeback.

Rosli Mansor (4.30pm)
Having covered rhythm dynamics and grooving in the first guitar workshop, Rosli continues from where he stopped and will touch on ‘the sauce’ and the important components of music composition: the three Ms. Those who missed the first workshop don’t have to worry being lost as Rosli will briefly reintroduce what he covered earlier. If you are starting on music composition, this is one segment you will not miss.
