We're setting up our cameras at Dottie's Coffee Lounge at 444 North St in Pittsfield during the "3rd Thursday" event on August 21st from 5-8pm. Hope we see you there!

Take a Peek at the upcoming George Benson Breezin’ Lounge!

We had the distinct pleasure of filming the great jazz guitar legend, George Benson for his upcoming Breezin’ Lounge project for WorkshopLive where you’ll learn how to recreate his signature sound. We're working hard to map all of his notes into our animated fretboard (not easy) and are re-creating the look of a great American jazz club online. Our very own master instructor and jazz virtuoso Jody Fisher plays host to these amazing lessons. This club launches later this month but you can see a very special preview of the video portion here. Enjoy!

The MercyMe Workshop is Here!

If you missed our email announcement, Grammy nominated Christian rockers, MercyMe, were in our Pittsfield studios to record lessons which will allow their fans to play the guitar parts for their greatest hits! Their club, called the MercyMe Workshop, is now accepting members. Details are at www.workshoplive.com/mercyme. Want to just take a peek at the actual lessons?
