Guitarist Justin Derrico (Pink, “The Voice”) Launches Fishman’s New Training Program for Seasoned Players

Fishman’s new Artist Masters video series features lessons, gear tips, and inspiring stories from world-class musicians.

ANDOVER, Mass., June 10, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Following the successful launch of "Learn to Play," Fishman continues its educational outreach to players with "Artist Masters." Some of the most exciting players in today’s music scene will host this essential new series of one-hour master classes designed to inspire and inform players at all levels.

The series debuted on June 2 with one of today’s busiest players. Justin Derrico has been Pink’s onstage axe-man for over a decade and has worked with some of the biggest names in music. A graduate of Musician’s Institute in Los Angeles, Derrico is also the house-band guitarist on NBC’s hit show "The Voice."

On his Artist Masters session, Derrico demonstrates how to play rock, pop, country, blues, and other styles and shows how to build a song from scratch. Viewers will also learn about Justin’s journey from Charlottesville to Los Angeles to seek a record deal with his first band. Weaving together playing tips and lessons with tales of working on television and in the studio, Derrico’s session is inspirational, informational, and lots of fun.
