Renowned Maritime guitarist, singer and songwriter JP Cormier will be presenting a guitar workshop in Sharbot Lake. He is the master of many instruments but is a genius on the guitar. His fingers fly with speed and precision and he leaves his audience awed by his talent. JP Cormier will be performing in the evening of November 15 at the Sharbot Lake Inn and will conduct his guitar workshop in the afternoon at the Oso Hall from 3:00 to 4:30.

Cormier’s workshops for festivals, small groups or companies are a whirlwind of information and technical delight. This master of the instrument takes the workshop audience on a journey through ‘all things guitar’. From purchase, technique and set up, to flat picking and finger-style, this workshop is an information bomb for players in any style or genre. It is for experienced guitarists with the prerequisite skills (ability to fluently play open chords, to use strumming patterns and to read guitar chord charts), who will be delighted with the content of the workshop.

Presented by Blue Skies in the Community, the JP Cormier guitar workshop will be held on Saturday, Nov. 15 from 3 to 4:30pm at the Oso Hall in Sharbot Lake. Cost is $30 for adults or $20 for students. To register for the JP Cormier workshop, or for further information, contact Marily Seitz at 613-479-2855 or seitz@xplornet.ca.
