Guitar Center Workshops

[bilbal]

Guitar Center is offering free recording clinics/workshops in the coming weeks on Saturday mornings.

Has anyone ever been to anything that they offer to the public? I don't know a thing about recording with the exception of recording my shows with a PCM D50 and I'd like to learn.

What are your thoughts? Do they bring in actual studio engineer types or is it done by the staff on hand?

thnx,

It's free - why not?

It'll be a well-disguised sales pitch, but there'll probably be some useful info.

The basics haven't changed in decades.

Call your local GC before showing up.

My son and I went to the GC in Wilmington DE last weekend. They did not offer this workshop at the DE GC.

I was told that even though the website said 'every' GC, it was up to the individual stores to put it on.

Just saying, I would call before you show up like I did.

I attended one workshop - it was very specifically oriented around Garageband software. If you're like me and don't have a Mac or iPad - it wasn't exactly what I needed, but it was good for ideas and it was free. If you can ask some questions about your interests you can help steer the conversation.
