The workshop will be led by guitarists Steve Karla (Hot Point Trio) and Phil Alley (Gypsy Guitars). The class will cover a variety of topics ranging from the history of the style to the specific techniques used for rhythm and lead playing. The class will serve as a beginning introduction to the style and is open to all ages and skill levels. All instruments welcome.
