- **Event Description**: 🎸 NEW GUITAR MASTERCLASS WITH DARREN DSOUZA
The Art of the Bend – Playing With Authority

Most guitarists think the answer is more scales.
More speed.
More complicated solos.

But the players people actually remember?

They know how to make one note mean something.

On April 17 from 6:00–8:30 PM, Darren Dsouza will be teaching a special 2.5-hour guitar masterclass for players who want their lead playing to sound more expressive, confident, and professional.

📍 Avalon Music Academy
45 Dalkeith Drive, Brantford

⚠️ Only 10 spots available to keep the class focused and interactive.

And you do NOT have to be an Avalon student to attend.
This class is open to any guitarist who wants to improve their lead playing.

What You’ll Learn

🎸 Perfect Whole-Step &amp; Minor Third Bends
Learn how to bend notes accurately so they land exactly in tune.

🎸 Controlled Vibrato
Discover how great players use vibrato to make notes sound expressive and alive.

🎸 Sustain With Confidence
Learn how to hold a note with authority instead of rushing through phrases.

🎸 Phrasing That Makes Solos Memorable
Understand why speed means nothing without phrasing.

🎸 How Great Melodic Players Think
Learn how expressive players build tension, emotion, and space in their solos.

🎸 Practical Exercises You Can Use Immediately
Walk away with techniques you can practice right away to improve your sound.

⸻

🎸 Individual Player Feedback

At the end of the masterclass, each guitarist will get a short live critique from Darren focused specifically on their bending technique.

Each participant will have about 2 minutes to demonstrate a bend or short phrase, and Darren will give quick, targeted feedback on things like:

• bend accuracy
• vibrato control
• sustain and tone
• phrasing confidence

This kind of direct feedback is something most guitarists rarely get, and it can instantly reveal what to improve.

⸻

Most guitarists spend years chasing more notes.

But what actually transforms your playing is learning how to control:

• pitch
• vibrato
• tone
• sustain
• phrasing

Because great guitar playing isn’t about saying more.

It’s about saying something that matters.
