Jennifer Batten – who was recently named by Guitar World Magazine as one of the 15 greatest all-star guitar teachers – will once again host a full-day Zoom ‘Deep Dive’ on how to record an album, as part of her Guitar Cloud Symposium educational program. Positive Grid presents this exclusive online course will cover a wide range of topics including creating a concept album, recording an instrumental album and finance and promotion, and anyone can take this one day course regardless of ability or goal. There’s even a half-hour ‘home studio recording techniques’ session scheduled, as well as smaller group sessions for students to enjoy more personalized tuition.
