What Is the 1 Hour Colorado Guitar Workshop?
This workshop is a brief, lively session designed to introduce you to guitar basics in a friendly environment. Held in Denver, the workshop isn’t about becoming a pro overnight but about giving you a taste of guitar playing. For beginners or casual players, it’s a relaxed way to start understanding how to form chords and strum simple tunes.
The workshop is hosted by Chris’s Guitar Workshop at a centrally located spot on S Colorado Blvd. Over roughly 70 minutes, you’ll get some hands-on practice, guided by an instructor who aims to make guitar accessible and fun. The session wraps up back at the meeting point, so it’s easy to incorporate into your day.
The price of $65 might seem steep for an hour, but when you factor in the free gifts and the chance to win prizes, it offers a bit of extra value. Plus, you’re paying for a local, personalized experience, not a generic class.
What Can You Expect During the Workshop?

Once you arrive at the starting point, the instructor will likely give a quick introduction before jumping into the core of the session. Expect to learn some basic chords—these are the foundation of most guitar playing—and maybe some popular tunes that are simple enough for beginners. The focus is on having fun and learning enough to impress friends and family with your new skills.
The highlight? Participants often get special prizes at the end. These can include gifts from the course, and there’s an added element of excitement with the opportunity to win free gifts from the course—the big draw being the chance to win things like an iPhone cruise trip.
The workshop is designed to be interactive, so don’t worry if you’re new to guitar; the instructor aims to keep the vibe light and encouraging. If you’ve ever wanted to strum a few chords or learn how to impress with a simple tune, you’ll likely find this workshop both approachable and enjoyable.
Meeting Points and Location Details
The activity begins and ends at 1585 S Colorado Blvd, Denver, which is a convenient location close to public transportation options. The schedule runs from Monday to Thursday, between 6:30 PM and 8:30 PM, making it a good after-dinner activity if you’re staying in the city.
Booking is straightforward, with confirmation usually received instantly unless booked within three days of the experience—then you’ll get confirmation within 48 hours, subject to availability. This flexibility means you can plan last-minute if needed, but it’s wise to book in advance to guarantee your spot, especially during busier times.
Who Should Consider This Experience?
This workshop is best suited for beginners, casual players, or anyone curious about guitar but not ready to commit to a full lesson. It’s also a good choice if you’re traveling with friends or family who want a shared, lighthearted activity. Music lovers who enjoy interactive experiences will find the chance to win prizes a fun bonus.
It’s worth noting that since the activity is only about an hour, those looking for an in-depth learning experience or a serious guitar course might find this too limited. If you’re after a quick, social, and entertaining intro, though, it’s a great fit.

The Value of This Experience
For $65, you’re getting more than just a basic guitar session. The inclusion of free gifts adds a layer of excitement, and the chance to win prizes like iPhone cruises makes it stand out from standard workshops. The local instructor’s approachability makes the learning environment feel welcoming, especially for total beginners.
However, some might find the duration somewhat short if they’re eager to delve deeper into guitar skills. Also, since the workshop is weather-dependent and a minimum number of travelers might be required for it to run, it’s good to keep flexible plans in mind.
Final Thoughts
If you’re in Denver and looking for a fun, informal way to dip your toes into guitar playing without a huge time commitment, this workshop offers a friendly, interactive experience. It’s particularly appealing if you enjoy surprises and prizes, or if you want a memorable story to tell about your trip.
Travelers who appreciate a personal touch and a relaxed atmosphere will probably find this more charming than a large group class. Keep in mind, it’s not a comprehensive guitar course, but it’s perfect for a quick taste and maybe even sparking a new hobby.
This experience is best for those who want to enjoy a light, social activity and don’t mind the weather playing a role in their plans. If you’re after something more serious or longer-lasting, you might want to look elsewhere, but for a fun, low-pressure introduction, it hits the right notes.
