’23 BMA nominee Johnny Burgin spends most of his year on the road performing close to 200 nights a year. As he puts it „It takes me a year to see all my friends, and then I do it all over again“. Despite a hectic schedule, he still finds time to release a new guitar lesson YouTube video every Monday. That discipline as well as constantly playing with different collaborations keep his flame of inspiration going. His workshop will get back to the basics of a solid Chicago Jimmy Reed shuffles in E and A– the kind of good-time music that audiences still crave and are easy to learn, but hard to master. He’ll discuss how to establish a groove and feel right off the bat, and teach user-friendly guitar parts that blend together in a band with the drums, other guitars and the harmonica. Capos, thumbpicks and fingerpicks are discussed and recommended but not required. This class will get everybody playing together classic blues parts that sound GREAT.
