Studio Floor
The floor is in and looking good. This is actually a vinyl laminate floor that looks like wood. It even has deep graining. I’m happy with how it turned out.
Acoustic Treatments
Ready Acoustics provided me with an acoustics treatment plan to get the best mixes in this room.
I’ve got my rigid fiberglass panels to begin building my acoustic treatments (only a portion is shown) as well as the fabric I’m going to use to cover them (not shown). For those of you that don’t know what acoustic treatments are, they get the low – high frequencies (Bass – Treble) in the room by absorbing them. Without them, you are not hearing your recordings correctly and might add too much bass, treble, etc.
See you again soon!
Wow, time flies when you’re having fun! It’s been a while since I posted any updates about the Vivrette Guitar Academy Studio remodel.
Things are coming along well. The new painting scheme is complete and the new floor will be going in the last week in December. Then it’s on to acoustic treatments and lighting.
It’s taken longer than planned but fortunately, I’ve had some big help from a good friend and my family. Some things just aren’t practical doing yourself and those tasks have been contracted out.
It’s been tough having to move equipment around and keep the studio functional. A big THANK YOU to my students for your patience!!
Looking forward to showing some more pics soon as well as some video but for now I’ve got a few pics for you below.
See you again soon!

- Guitar Playing Tip – Visualize Your Way To Greatness -
I’ve recently found myself talking to my students more and more about using “visualization” techniques to help improve their guitar playing.

You too can use this powerful tool to help you play anything you want on your guitar. But what exactly is “visualization” and how does it relate to learning to play guitar? [Read more »]

Moving is never fun and this time was no different. The move to VGA’s temporary residence, while the final phase of the move is completed, took a little longer than expected.
I’m hoping this takes about a month to complete and then I’ll be moving to my new studio!
No worries though, everything is fully operational and classes are back in full swing.
I look forward to bringing you up to date as the move date to the new studio is finalized.
