Love guitar? Love the blues? Played for years but always wanted more? How would you like to learn and jam every week with like-minded guitarists eager to learn more, play more and have more fun?

What about the opportunity to record music each month in a real recording studio as part of this exclusive group?

What if we said Brazil's main blues guitarist was your host each week?

Guitar Jamz and Studio 257 are collaborating on this first of its kind class.

Andre was the first ever Brazilian to attend GIT in LA where he also worked at the prestigious Norman's Rare Guitars. During this time he studied with Robben Ford, Pat Martino and Joe Diorio amongst others.

Andre went on to play with everyone from BB King to Buddy Guy to Carlos Santana. Not to mention having the first ever number one blues album in Portuguese, Mandinga in 1989. He also recorded the last ever record in the famous Chess Records back in 1991 with The 2120 Sessions.

As a pop star in the 80s playing in Rita Lee's band Andre cemented himself as a guitar star in Brazil and his stories are worth coming for alone!

Send us a message now to reserve your spot for the first session on Friday October 4th 6-8pm at Studio 257 in Glasgow.

There is free parking and coffee. All you need is your guitar and a fresh set of ears!
