Interesting perspectives from the CEO of Fender

It makes perfect sense for Fender to do guitar lessons. There’s a lot of things that people can choose to do with their spare time, so being able to say we’ll sell this guitar and we’ll teach you how to play it puts them ahead of all of the other brands I’d say. We all know that people can be creatures or habit, so if their first guitar is a Fender, then the 2nd, 3rd, 4th… might well be too.
You can all gripe about Fender Play but I wish there’d been something like it when I first picked up a guitar (it wasn’t technologically possible back then but that’s an aside) because I might be a competent guitarist by now rather than starting from scratch again.

Speaking of Fender…
This is a pretty amazing comercial stunt from them. Lot of guitar heros…

And check out Brad Paisly…. Who would ever know he could rock out like that…

Check it out… needs to be played loud :grin:
