Very excited to finally announce this!..

On July 12th, I’ll be hosting a special in-person guitar workshop at Nottingham Contemporary alongside the wonderful Adam Levy.

We’re calling it ā€œConnecting The Dotsā€ - an evening focused on improvisation, phrasing, harmony, creativity and learning how to truly ā€œnail the changesā€ in a more musical and connected way across any style of music.

This won’t be a flashy shred-clinic type of thing. The idea is to create something relaxed, warm, inspiring and genuinely useful for players who love roots music, jazz, blues, Americana and tasteful guitar playing.

We’ll be digging into:• improvisation concepts• melodic awareness• navigating chord changes• phrasing, feel and tone• musical connection across the fretboard• getting more out of your looper practice• and the deeper stuff that often gets overlooked

Tickets are £65 and include a complimentary drink on arrival. At the end of the session lesson materials on all key concepts discussed will be provided for you to take away with you. We also have plans to film a bunch of clips of the session, which I will of course share with all attendees. To keep the workshop personal and interactive, attendance is strictly limited to just 30 people.

Patreon members are hearing about it first before I announce it publicly elsewhere, and as a thank you for your incredible support, there’s an exclusive Patreon discount code which gets you 10% off! Simply enter "PATREON10" at checkout.

I genuinely can’t wait for this one. Adam is one of my favourite musicians and thinkers on the instrument, and I think it’s going to be a really special evening.

One of the great things about Nottingham is how easy it is to get to by train, bus or car with it being fairly central, so I’d really encourage people to make the journey if they can. I have a feeling this is going to be a really memorable night.

We’re hoping it’ll be the first of many, and we’re already talking about doing another in November if this one goes well.

This is awesome, will this be available to attend via stream for those of us who cannot attend in person?

Alex Farran Guitar

I’m trying to make that the case, will let you know for sure in a few days. šŸ™šŸ»

Slow drag Ali

Can this be streamed for a fee. Two of my favourite players but sadly just too far away !

Alex Farran Guitar

I appreciate that mate. Yes, I’m hoping we can set up a stream for it. Will post final details here over the coming days.

Bob R

Another vote for a livestream if possible . I'll supply my own pint !

Nick Whalen

Is it Saturday July 11th or Sunday July 12th?

Alex Farran Guitar

Hi Nick, sorry, you should be seeing the updated image by now. It’s Sunday 12th July

Nick Whalen

I was pleading my case with my wife and wasn’t sure what day it was. I would like to book but the links to the tickets seems to not be working…

Alex Farran Guitar

That’s awesome Nick! I’ve had to remove the link for a moment as it wasn’t working. Just waiting for the venue to enable to link. Hopefully tomorrow. I’ll update everyone on here when booking is live! Will be great to meet you buddy!

John Olenski

Please offer a livestream option. Will be great. šŸ™Œ

MarkF

Yup livestream for me too being across the pond or pay a premium for the recorded version with a credit for the pint-lol (as a side note I was listening to Adam’s album Spry last night and I can’t recommend it enough it’s brilliant playing by the trio.

Esgi...sg

I’ve got to check that album out, thanks for the tip Mark…I’ll be traveling tomorrow so I’m putting it in the queue šŸ™šŸ¼

Rupert Hawkes

Ahhhh yea pla make streaming available or even better record, will love to watch. Happy to pay!

Rupert Hawkes

Yes pls to streaming or a recording

GoofyRaf

Wow ! I wish I could be there ! A Masterclass with two Masters ! Cool

Sava Kalbachou

Count me in! I have been looking for an excuse to visit Nottingham, but I couldn't even imagine for such a great one! This is going to be amazing, thanks so much to both of you for organising it!

Gert De Groof

Man, that is brilliant! And then to think I will be on holiday in the UK at that very moment! Unfortunately we’ll be visiting the south and I don’t think I will be able to convince my entire family to do a cross country roadtrip for an awesome guitar workshop…we’ll see šŸ˜‚. So, yeah, definitely another vote here for a non-linear streaming option! Take care

John Canton

A Recorded Class would be great. I would gladly pay to have this Master Class to watch and learn from the two Masters. I've never met anyone that comes close to your teaching skills Alex. Unfortunately I am unable to fly over there at this time. I have no doubt the class will be very successful. I wish you the best.

Sean

From across the pond I'll gladly buy a ticket for stream access and/or a recording.

Nick Whalen

Tickets booked. Looking forward to meeting you all at the workshop!

Gordon Bird

Another vote for live or later stream. Vancouver to Nottingham is a bit too far for me.

Marsha in Austin

I’d love to attend but I live in Austin TX!
