ABOUT CHRISTIAN GUITAR WORKSHOP
Christian Guitar Workshop was founded in 2007 by Rich Severson to share his skill and faith with Christian guitar players worldwide. His no nonsense, no shortcuts approach to teaching essential music concepts to guitarists has made him one of the foremost instructors at Christian worship conferences across the U.S. and Canada.
ABOUT GUITAR COLLEGE
Our philosophy relates to an old adage, "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and feed him for life." It's that way with guitar playing too. Learn a song and all you'll know is a song. We'll teach you some music theory, develop your ear and improve your skill so you can learn all the songs you want. You can develop your skills so you can read charts, learn new songs, change keys on the spot and improve your songwriting too.
In 1989, while instructing at GIT in Hollywood, Rich saw the need for guitarists worldwide to have a music education as well as just a guitar lesson. Already a published author Rich decided to develop and publish a mail order program of written and audio guitar lessons called "Guitar Correspondence." In 1994, the more than 100 correspondence lessons written they were grouped by subject, packaged into home study courses and offered on the world wide web as GuitarCollege.com. Along the way video supplements have been added to many courses. Since then over ten thousand students worldwide have improved their skill and increased their knowledge with his courses.
In 2005 Guitar College launched a two hour Video Magazine on DVD. It is an "Entertainment Tonight" style show for guitar players with lessons in a variety of styles, interviews, performances, events, etc. Our viewers told us "This show needs to be on TV for all guitar players too see." So here it is with a slightly Christian slant for our fellow believers.
