After Camp
Guy’s Open Guitar Tuning Austin Band Camp was amazing. After the camp, participants were sharing that what Guy taught us about open guitar tunings was way more accessible than anything else they’d seen on the topic.
Guy broke down some classic blues songs and some of his songs in Open G tuning and gave the participants a lot to woodshed on while we wait for the follow up, slide guitar camp!
Guy is a heck of a musician and a really nice guy. We are so lucky to have him as part of the Austin Band Camp family. He’s taught camps on harmonica, ukulele, open guitar tunings and next up, slide guitar!
That evening, during the house concert, Guy shared more stories and music and even a few more tips along the way.
Thanks to all the participants who make it happen, and to John and Carol who host us at Sessions and buy the beer! 🙂

About Guy
From Medium.com: Guy Forsyth is an Austin, Texas-based musician, singer, storyteller, and songwriter. Guy has won several Austin Music Awards, including best vocalist, while delivering diverse roots music, especially the blues, both classic and original, in which the story always comes first. He earned a ten-year residency at legendary Antone’s nightclub, “the home of the blues,” and recorded several records on the house label. He has toured the U. S. and Europe and opened for Ray Charles, Robert Cray, Dr. John, B. B. King, and Lucinda Williams, among many others.
To his mastery of the guitar, harmonica, and musical saw he brings an unforgettably passionate and plaintive vocal soundscape. As Texas Music Magazine observed, “The insanely talented multi-instrumentalist can put on one hell of a show, alternately dazzling and amusing audiences on a musical journey from ragtime jazz and Delta blues to socially conscious folk and rollicking modern rock.” As powerful as his records remain, Guy’s live shows will make you whole.
