Some people have asked if they need to be present at the "Live" sessions. Of course, it is best if you can, but you will be able to access this complete workshop at any time in the future. All workshop elements will be recorded and uploaded to the Blues Weekend homepage. You have unlimited access to these recordings, PDF, practice tracks, and more.

What Students Are Saying About My Recent Workshops
Don, this was the best and most informative class I have ever taken. Forty-plus years of playing mandolin, and this course has opened doors and new ideas that I never thought of. The best thing about this course is how logical the process was throughout the whole course, and this makes learning so much easier and quicker. Wish I could have had this course years ago when I first started learning mandolin. Thanks for all you do!
