WorkshopLive Announces Over 1000 Lessons

WorkshopLive is a unique form of online guitar learning and has been so successful that they have now launched lesson number 1000.

The above photo is of famous west coast guitarist, Jody Fisher, who is one of many music instructors at WorkshopLive and has created 80 lessons including their 1000th.

Others who have contributed include Baltimore guitarist Tobias Hurwitz. Says Hurwitz:

Until now, if you wanted to play guitar, you would have to conform to your teacher’s instructional and playing techniques. WorkshopLive takes the exact opposite approach and matches you with a musician who’s attuned to your specific needs and interests. It’s basically the same principle as an online dating service, only it’s designed to bring together the musically compatible.

Such is the quality of the offerings by WorkshopLive, once can teach such concepts as creative pentatonics, sweep-and-tap arpeggios and multi-finger tapping - all over a high speed internet connection.

Mark Knopfler’s Guitars

I know that some of my readers are very interested in Mark Knopfler and his guitars.

For those of you who don’t know, Mark was part of the very successful Dire Straits band of the 80s.

Mark is particularly reverred by guitar fans, because he has an almost genius-like ability with the guitar.

He even prefers to finger pick on his electric guitars rather than use a plectrum!

Here is a list of his guitars, if you know of any others, please leave a comment!

• Fender Stratocaster
• Fender Telecaster
• Gibson Les Paul
• custom Pensa Suhr (various)
• Schecter (Strate and Tele)
• National Style 0 Resonator
• Gibson Super 400
