WORKSHOP: The World of Guitar!

I’ll demonstrate several different types of unusual guitars (7-string fingerstyle, electric guitar, hybrid guitar/bass, Indian) and show you some of the cool things that can be done that are out of the ordinary – playing multiple parts simultaneously, playing bass & guitar at same time (!), music from other cultures and more. We’ll show how ideas can cross over from one style to another or how they are similar or different.
