Icon vs. Icon has a story on the announcement of the launch of a new series of workshops in New Jersey for aspiring metal musicians.
The listed items for the month of September sound pretty cool, actually. There’s two sessions, one on recording and one on guitar maintenance. It’s also nice that they have some for different skill levels too–one for more skilled musicians and one for (likely) more beginners. Honestly, speaking as someone who has occasionally thought about trying to learn to play the guitar, the one on quitar maintenance just sounds like an absolute necessity for a beginner.
(For the interested Bon Jovi fan, the workshops are being held in Sayreville. However, the techniques that they’ll be teaching–at least in regards to sound–are probably a good deal heavier than Bon Jovi’s music.)
News like this makes me wish I had some actual musical talent, because this all sounds like neat stuff to learn. Unfortunately, I have a tin ear, so the world is probably better off if I just stick with playing Guitar Hero instead of a real guitar.
