Guitar Master Class: Playing Guitar for a Living

Join us for a Guitar Master Class by Alexander Knutsen!

In this master class, Playing Guitar for a Living, session guitarist and touring sideman Alexander Knutsen will show us what it takes to create guitar parts that  hold up both in the studio and on stage. He will demonstrate how to expand on simple ideas to create the sonic variety and quality necessary for recording, and in turn reducing these ideas for an effective reproduction in a live setting. We’ll hear isolated guitar parts from some of Alexander’s recent releases, and he will share simple techniques to help students to  create professional guitar parts instantly. Sit back and enjoy this rare opportunity to get a peek behind the curtain in the world of recording and touring.

Alexander’s notable collaborators include Charles Haynes (drummer for Ed Sheeran and Lady Gaga), Krysta Youngs (songwriter for BTS and Marshmello), and Adam Jensen (#1 Billboard Top 20 Artists To Look Out For in 2021). He has toured internationally and has performed on the smallest stages to the Xfinity Center and Gillette Stadium. His mentors include legendary jazz icon Mike Stern and world record-setting drummer Mike Mangini.
