More on Drew Shirley’s Seminar
I mentioned in a previous post that Drew Shirley, lead guitarist for Switchfoot and member of the Sovereign Grace church in San Diego, will be teaching two workshops on electric guitar on Thursday and Friday afternoons from 4:15-5:30. They’ll be open to anyone who’d like to come.
Drew said he’ll be demonstrating guitar skills for the electric guitarist on the worship team – things like tone, texture, riffs, voicings, and techniques. He’ll also share some perspectivs on being an artist and some general music concepts. Should be a great time.

New Guitar Seminars Added with Drew Shirley of Switchfoot
I’m happy to let you know that Drew Shirley, lead guitarist for Switchfoot, and a member of the Sovereign Grace Church in San Diego, has confirmed that he’ll be able to join us for most of WorshipGod08 this year. In addition to playing for a couple main sessions, Drew will be teaching two seminars for guitarists, Thursday and Friday afternoons, from 4:15-5:30. Because this is a late addition to the schedule, no one needs to sign up in advance. Anyone at the conference will be able to attend either or both seminars.
Drew has been playing with Switchfoot for 6 years. He has written, played, produced, and toured in the music industry for over 15 years and brings a passion for music and worship. He is a member of Grace Church San Diego along with his expectant wife Jenna and 4 yr old daughter Lauren.
Drew also contributed to the Na Band’s recent project, Looked Upon. Looking forward to what he’ll add to WorshipGod08.
