Saturday Workshop 08/21/10 2:00 p.m. Guitar/Bass/String Instrument Setup and Maintenance

 
Saturday, August 21st at 2pm
Little Rock Frets (Inside Little Rock Jams
Breckenridge Village Shopping Center (Near the UA Theater)

Hello all!
Well we may still be feeling the heat but soon the weather will turn cool (we hope) and that furnace will kick on and our guitars, banjos, mandolins and other fretted instruments will soon face the perils of dropping temperature and humidity.

I will be holding a seminar on how to combat these changes and I will show you, in depth, how to perform a full setup on your guitar.

As always, discussions will be driven by YOUR questions, so bring 'em on!

I will also introduce Little Rock Frets' newest addition, Justin Kinchen, Certified Luthier.

A drawing will be held for several door prizes so come learn about guitars, meet Justin and maybe win a prize...


See you there!

Another tip of the hat to our blog...



We got word today that the Guide to Art Schools  listed our blog as one of the best music blogs on the internet. I took a look at the list and there are so many great blogs listed. It is an honor to be picked as one of the best alongside these other blogs.

You can check out the list here...

Here are a couple that caught my eye...

Jazz: The Music of unemployment - there's something to be said in an honest title, and this one nails it. It's just not all about jazz though.

My Job  - this is about life as a working musician

Thanks Guide to Art Schools for selecting us!

Student of the Month - June 2010 - Alex Joseph

Alex is a student in our Rock School program.

After a successful show with his Rock School band last month, Alex was asked to step in at the last
minute and play with another band that needed a replacement drummer.

With little time and only one rehearsal before the gig, Alex learned their set list and played a great show!

The show must go on, and because Alex stepped up and made it happen, he is our student of the month .

Congrats Alex!
