If you’re tired of playing covers all the time, then you should learn how to find your inner songwriter. By writing your own music, you can discover a new way to express yourself, and rediscover music in a different way. During this FREE workshop Mike Wagner hopes to help you do exactly that.
Like most musical concepts, songwriting is something that you need to practise in order to become proficient. Sure, you can always find a few videos on YouTube to teach you the basics, but the best way to learn is from hands on experiences. By attending this workshop, you can pick the brain of a musician with a wealth of experience.
All Guitar Frenzy workshops are free, but seating is limited. So if you want to ensure that you get a good seat, be sure to arrive early.

More about Mike Wagner
Mike Wagner is a guitarist singer-songwriter and drummer from Durban, South Africa. Over the years (both as a drummer and a solo act) he has played alongside acts such as Majozi, Jeremy Loops, Ard Matthews, and Seether. He started out drumming in church and in a band called Lieutenant Vinyl and later moved onto guitar and discovered that there was a front-man, but also a songwriter in him. Mike writes as honestly as he can from his personal, interpersonal and spiritual experiences. His simple songs tell stories and express humanity in whatever form the songs need to take in order to do this.
