Godin’s pioneering work with synth access guitars (SA) has brought us into contact with many of the world’s top guitarists, including several members of the Guitar Department faculty from the Berklee College of Music. Berklee recently acquired 35 Godin xtSA guitars, which will be used by students and faculty for use in the guitar department labs as well as in private instruction. The xtSA’s superb tracking capabilities put the guitars in high demand for students exploring various guitar-to-computer applications.

He’s also a superb guitarist and therefore a great information resource for us. Now you too can benefit from this connection as David has produced a primer for guitarists interested in exploring the guitar-to-computer connection. David’s presentation focuses specifically on the Apple Powerbook running their Garage Band software. Click here for the full lesson.
