GUITAR WIZARD TO REVEAL HIS TRICKS

West Yorkshire's own Jon Gomm, described by Acoustic Magazine as "One of the world's most gifted and inspirational guitar players", will be taking a break from his touring which has seen him visit Germany, Italy, Holland and Austria so far this year, to give a special masterclass on his guitar playing in Bradford this weekend.

The special workshop, which is being held at Factory Street Studios on Saturday June 4th 2011, is open to all acoustic guitarists from beginners to advanced. "My playing style is quite unusual, involving percussive techniques and two-handed styles, so advanced players might still find themselves going back to basics!", Jon told us.

As well as demonstrating these cutting edge new ways of playing the instrument, there will be an open question and answer session, and Jon will be willing to share his expertise and secrets on all aspects of music from songwriting and music theory to making your living as an independent musician. "I'll answer questions on anything really! Except football and girlfriend trouble."

Factory Street have hosted workshops in the past, and are hoping to become a hub for special musical masterclasses in the area, giving people a rare chance to gain insight and instruction from world-class professional performers.
