Titled A Little Bit Of Everything, Townsend will cover all things guitar related and also look at how he records, mixes and lays down vocals in the studio. He’ll also take part in a Q&A session at 12.30pm on September 22.

Townsend will be joined over the weekend by other musicians, including Mr Big’s Paul Gilbert (opens in new tab), The Mute Gods’ Nick Beggs, Lari Basillio, John Patitucci and many others.
