Interactive Guitar Workshop
December 9, 2023
Embark on a musical journey crafted for enthusiasts of rootsy folk-blues, gypsy swing, pop and Fingerstyle guitar playing.
Our Interactive Guitar Workshop is a haven for those seeking to conquer the intricacies of rhythm, fingerpicking, and lead guitar in these specific genres.
However, if your musical soul thrives in the realms of metal or rock, this workshop might not be your cup of tea.
We specialize in genres that resonate with the soulful tones of folk-blues, the playful melodies of gypsy swing, and the intricate artistry of Fingerstyle.
Led by the experienced trio of Frank John, Erin Manu, and Burt Ropiha, this workshop is your beacon through the challenges of musical learning.
Bid farewell to the struggles that once hindered your progress and welcome a world where harmonious mastery of guitar techniques becomes second nature.
Let the magic unfold as you dive into a transformative experience, breaking through obstacles and turning your guitar dreams into a melodious reality.
