While he's in town, why not have him conduct a guitar workshop for your guitar playing patrons? It's easy enough to do. When you send out your mailing advertising the concert, be sure to include the information provided below about a Guitar Workshop. If you need any help just contact Toby's agent, McShane Glover and she'll be more than happy to assist you with the details about setting up this terrific, unique event.

                                                                                                    Take your playing to a new level with a guitar workshop from Toby Walker. Toby is a master of the fingerpicking country blues styles and has been teaching them for over 25 years. A regular teacher at Jorma Kaukonen’s (Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane) Fur Peace Ranch Guitar Camp, Toby will not only teach you hot licks and techniques but will also show you how to apply these to songs you already know.

That way nobody forgets what they learned and often times gets more valuable information then what was covered in class.

                                                                                                    Jim Morris-Knower


                                                                                                    Skill Level: Beginning/Intermediate to Advanced. I structure my workshops so that players of all levels will get plenty out of them. However, it does help to at least be able to switch first position chords and have some basic fingerpicking skills. What I do is start a song at it's very basic level and keep building it from there. This allows everyone to play along... and then rise to a level where they are learning something new and incorporating that into a song.
