Decolonising The Guitar: A Beginners Workshop With Musician Ray Aggs

In this workshop, Ray Aggs will read from their zine, DIY GUITAR FOR BEGINNERS, and discuss the roots of the guitar from a Black feminist perspective. They aim to demystify the instrument by deconstructing the white male rock roll cannon and exposing the whitewashing of punk, folk, and rock history. We will discuss traditional and experimental guitar techniques and learn a simple song together. No previous guitar knowledge is necessary – non-musicians and beginners are welcome!
