Simone Wagner will be visiting Handel Hendrix House, Brook Street in Mayfair on Saturday 28 June from 2pm for an exciting talk and guitar workshop that dives into the iconic sound of 1970s rock! The talk will last around 1 hour, and the ticket includes admission to all of Handel Hendrix House, including Jimi Hendrix’s London home which has been meticulously re-created.
As Simon Daniels, Director of Handel Hendrix House explains: “In this interactive workshop, in which participants are welcome to bring and play their own guitars, or simply to listen, Simone will help you explore the genius behind Deep Purple’s unforgettable riffs, song accompaniment, and dynamic guitar soloing techniques, with a special focus on Ritchie Blackmore’s unique style and his influence from Jimi Hendrix.”
He continues: “Simone’s love for 70s Rock and Jazz led her to studying jazz guitar at the University of Music in her hometown Munich while playing with various formations. Simone is currently writing a PHD on the guitarists of Deep Purple and she is absolutely delighted to come back to Handel Hendrix House and give some insights about the amazing world of guitar playing in the 1970s.”
