What happens when you take a musician who has never played guitar before and challenge them to perform with a live blues band after just 24 hours of lessons?
Join Pickup Music’s Head of Education, Karl Kerfoot, as he tackles the ultimate teaching challenge: transforming Tatiana Tate from a total novice into a stage-ready guitarist. Over the course of one intense day, Tatiana learns three essential guitar skills—riffing, chord progressions, and lead lines—all while battling sore fingers, frustration, and an annoying ticking clock.
With a brand-new electric guitar on the line, will Tatiana rise to the occasion or crumble under the pressure?"
Teacher: Karl Kerfoot
