“Learn To Play is a perfect extension of Fishman’s mission to help musicians find their own unique sound,” says Chris DeMaria, Fishman’s Head of Marketing. “Creating your own voice is something that starts when people first pick up an instrument, which a lot of people did during the COVID lockdown. They want to play like their favorite guitarists—be they rock, blues, folk, or hip-hop—but don’t know where to start. We’re here to tell these beginners, ‘you can do it, and we’re gonna help you every step of the way.’”
Fishman’s 5-7 minute video classes familiarize viewers with parts of the guitar and move into major and minor chords, strums, fingerpicking, blues basics, and more. Players can subscribe to be notified about new lessons and Learn To Play content and can enter to win a virtual one-on-one lesson with guitarist Melanie Faye (Noname, Mac DeMarco, Maggie Rogers). To benefit all new players regardless of their situation, the courses are offered free of charge.
The Learn To Play series is just the first milestone in Fishman’s broad-based initiative to educate and inspire musicians in all stages of playing experience, which will roll out throughout 2022. “How To Buy” will help players find gear solutions suited to their unique styles and abilities, and “Gear Your Way” will coach musicians to use innovative technologies to shape their own unique sound. Perhaps most exciting, “Artist Masters” will feature extended classes from notable musicians who will share their stories, discuss their gear and offer playing tips and tricks.
