This part of the workshop will include a lesson on all the parts of the guitar and how they contribute to the overall sound, there will also be a segment on learning how to change guitar strings as well as tuning them as well. On top of learning about the guitar itself it’s also important to learn about amp and pedal settings as well to be versatile.
Studio knowledge:
A basic foundation of knowledge in studio technology goes a long way for a working musician. This will assist musicians when composing with other musicians.
