Never Touched an Electric? Perfect.

You've been curious about electric strings for a while now. Maybe you've seen someone loop a full arrangement live. Maybe you've heard that soaring, distorted violin in a rock song and thought, "I didn't know strings could sound like that."

But every time you think about trying electric, the questions pile up: What gear do I need? Will it feel completely different? Can I even make it sound good?

Here's the truth: Electric strings aren't harder. They're just different. And you don't need to own an electric instrument to find out if they're for you.

This Workshop Is Your Risk-Free Introduction

No pressure. No judgment. No equipment required. Just 90 minutes of hands-on exploration with demo instruments, effects, and backing tracks.

What You'll Experience

🔌 Your First Electric Sound

We'll start at the beginning: plugging in. You'll watch a live demonstration of the signal chain (instrument → cable → amp), then hear what an electric instrument sounds like in its most basic form—clean, focused, and ready for anything.

🎛️ Hands-On Exploration at Rotation Stations

You'll rotate through three experimentation stations where you can try electric instruments and effects for yourself:

  • Station 1: Explore clean tone and volume/tone controls
  • Station 2: Add one effect (reverb or overdrive) and hear the transformation
  • Station 3: Play along with a simple backing track and feel the groove

Don't have an electric instrument? No problem. Demo instruments are provided. Everyone gets hands-on time.

⚡ Effects That Transform Your Sound

Discover how effects like reverb, delay, and overdrive change your tone instantly. You'll hear live demonstrations, then try them yourself at the stations.

🎸 Genre Showcase: Classical to Rock to Jazz

Watch a performance that showcases the same phrase in four different genres. You'll see firsthand how electric strings work in classical, rock, jazz, and experimental music—proving that you don't have to leave your roots behind to explore new sounds.

🗺️ Your Path Forward

By the end, you'll know exactly what excites you about electric strings and have a clear roadmap for next steps—whether that's gear recommendations, advanced workshops, or ongoing online learning.
