Guitar, Bass and Tapping Retreat

Enjoy a rejuvenating four days (July 31- Aug 3) of guitar workshops, master-classes, recording sessions, impromptu jams and energizing concerts on the pristine mountain campus of Saint Francis University in Loretto, PA.

The 2007 Guitar Retreat Series is a one of a kind four-day guitarist learning community where you can learn everything from the basics to advanced concepts and techniques of this incredible instrument. If you're a complete beginner, this is for you. If you have some experience with the guitar, you'll gain valuable new skills and insights. If you're a pro already join us to further expand your capacity as a player and musician. Most of all, you'll enjoy and grow.

Since 2004, the focus of this program has been to engage students as well as adult learners from all over the United States in a culturally rich, all-inclusive music program.

Our philosophy is that students learn best in a completely hands-on, relaxed, safe environment without the pressure of being perfect. Beginners are warmly welcomed. This program is built for adults over 18. Enrollment is very limited. Register today. For more info, please visit: http://www.jimdonovanmusic.com/guitar07home.html

FOR TOUCH-INSTRUMENTALISTS: Whether you prefer to tap on 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 strings (or any number in between), I’ll be providing opportunities to learn techniques which encompass: bass and treble independence, recording of stereo instruments, effects routing and bussing techniques important to our approach, jamming concepts for solo, duo, trio, settings, etc.

With the registration of only a few more wishing to concentrate on touch techniques, we’ll be able to hire at least one more touch-guitar instructor to enrich the experience.

This is a great opportunity to concentrate on generalities and specifics, relax and play, play, play. To register, please visit: http://www.jimdonovanmusic.com/guitar07home.html.

Fuzzy Logic Boptet CD Now Available at Abstract Logix

   Playing Favorites, the new CD from the LA-based group Fuzzy Logic Boptet, is now available on the progressive music distribution website Abstract Logix.
   Warr guitarist Jim Wright plays his Phalanx-12 on most of the CD, some of which was recorded live, and all of it with little or no effects, showcasing the incredibly full sound of this instrument, and the all 4ths tap-guitar tuning used.
   Polly Klemmer's progressive piece "Gate Array" (which can be heard at the link below) is the only song on which overdrive was used on the PH-12 guitar side, and demonstrates the anti-crosstalk features of this model very well.
    On the song Midnight (written by saxophonist Robin Rader, and which can be previewed at the link below), Jim uses a Warr Artisan semi-hollow-body 12-string with all nylon strings, perhaps one of the first recordings of it's kind.
   The CD is also available at CD Baby, and Amazon.
