Grab your guitar and get ready to play in the Lead Guitar World-wide Virtual Showcase Concert. Practice with the play along videos from our instructor team lead by Denis Azabagic and follow the easy instructions for submitting your performance video. 

If you play guitar - even a little bit - go to this link, follow the directions and, using the scrolling sheet music, have a blast practicing music by J.S. Bach, Tito Puente, Beethoven and Bob Marley with the entire LG teaching staff until you’re ready to record your part to add to the mass ensemble. Deadline for the video submission is April 20th 2020.

Then, on Saturday, April 25th at 12pm CST US, tune in for the live FB event at: https://www.facebook.com/leadguitareducation/

We’ll be inviting guitarists around the world to play along live to the premiere of the mass ensemble video featuring Lead Guitar students and hopefully, you! Sponsored by GSI and Cordoba, hosted by LG’s own Denis Azabagic and featuring some fabulous guest artists, it’s an opportunity for us to lift each other up with community music making and give some deserving students an opportunity to shine on a big stage of a different kind.

Lead Guitar  is a not-for-profit that builds free, sustainable classical guitar programs in schools with low arts access and more than 80% of students eligible for free/reduced lunch. With help from our partners atGuitar Salon International andCordoba Guitars we are making music accessible to students stuck at home by providing at-home access to learning materials and by giving up to 100 Cordoba XX guitars to students stuck at home without an instrument.

Normally in April and May, Lead Guitar students in L.A., Chicago, Arizona, Oklahoma and Colorado would be performing in Showcase Concerts hosted by our partners like The University of Arizona, The Aspen Music Festival, The University of Denver and Roosevelt University. These are opportunities for our students, many of whom might be visiting a university campus for the first time, to perform for and celebrate with their friends and families in world class concert facilities.

Due to Covid-19, Lead Guitar has, of course, cancelled those Showcase Concerts for Spring 2020, but we are excited to announce a National Virtual Lead Guitar Showcase. We’re hoping you might play along. Current Lead Guitar students, will be joined by LG graduates, instructors and guitar players from around the world in playing and videoing themselves playing as part of a mass ensemble.
