Short url: 

https://squ.at/r/6qxj

This workshop will fill you in on the BASSics (sorry we had to):
– Learning notes & finding your way around the fret board
– Hand/fingering techniques to make your playing easier
– Basic scales so you can speak the same language as other musicians and write music together!
There are 15 places for this workshop. Book a place in advance to avoid disappointment here . Tickets are £5 (+booking fee). We aim to make our workshops as accessible as possible, so if you would like to come but cannot afford the ticket price, you can reserve a place by emailing firsttimers@diyspaceforlondon.org

About First Timers Fest:
FTF is a season of workshops followed by a two-day festival where every band plays its first show. FTF is about getting new faces and voices in bands, and doing something about the lack of diversity in the make-up of the DIY music community.
As a direct way of addressing the lack of diversity in the make-up of the DIY music community, our workshops centre people who are disabled (visible or non-visible), LGBTQIA+ folk, people of colour, and women. As well, we are here to support people who have never played in a band before // never played the instrument they’ve always wanted to learn before because of their class, race, gender, mental health, etc.
Our 2019 festival will be taking place on May 4th & 5th 2019. Applications from new bands to play are open: email firsttimers@diyspaceforlondon.org
