The Mendocino Guitar Workshop normally takes place every July at the Albion Retreat and Learning Center in Albion, just 7 miles south of the historic town of Mendocino on California’s stunning north coast. However, due to the constraints and uncertainties of the pandemic, this year we will conduct our first ever virtual workshop on July 12-17, 2021. We will continue to offer many of the same components we have been offering for the past 20 years but, unfortunately, without all the good food and the recreational activities. The upside is that we will be able to take a deep dive into group and individual instruction without the logistics and expenses of travel, which just might make the prospect of attending much more convenient for many of you.

The workshop will focus on performance, technique, arranging, and composing for fingerstyle players and singers who play guitar, but we welcome players of all backgrounds. Alex and Sean and special guest instructors will share their insights into the techniques and inspiration that have become an integral part of their unique styles. Workshop attendees will also have the option to participate in an ensemble piece that will be rehearsed and recorded using online methods that will allow everyone to hear themselves and play along with a pre-recorded track. The finished recording will be streamed at the end of the workshop for an online audience. And, because it’s online, this year we will be offering an a la carte menu to anyone that would like to audit selected sessions of interest to a wider audience.
