Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Clinic & Workshop

Stevie Ray Vaughan Guitar Clinic & Workshop - Toronto, ON  On March 19

Play or enjoy Blues/Rock? SRV an inspiration?
Want to get that great Texas Tone?

Mark your calendars, this workshop is for everyone! On March 19 at The Black Swan <http://www.blackswantavern.com> , Rave On, Canada's premiere tribute to Stevie Ray Vaughan will host an informal all-ages afternoon workshop, complete with music and jamming. Among the guests on hand will be Canadian Guitar God Tony Springer of the legendary Hendrix Tribute Fire. If you've ever wanted to learn about the guitar playing style of SRV, this is for you.

You'll hear a set of SRV music played by Rave On, followed by a Q&A session. Renny Schweiger, Rave On's guitarist, will share his knowledge of SRV licks, technique, tone, guitar setup, amps, effects and more. Afterwards, Rave On will play some more of
your SRV favourites, and invite participants to the stage to jam. Bring your guitars! Rhythm section players will pick up some tips too; get some insights into the bass style of Tommy Shannon as well as drumming technique for that great Texas Thundershuffle.

Non-players are welcome. This all–ages, all–levels event will be of interest to anyone who likes Blues/Rock and Stevie Ray's music. There'll be giveaways and prizes, and don't forget the Stevie–Jimi guitar duel that just might happen!
