				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In this difficult time, where social distancing is crucial, Fender finds a way to support its community. On 9 April 2020, the guitar company made an official announcement about 3 months of free guitar, bass and ukulele lessons.</p>
<p>“We’re blown away by the overwhelming response to our three months of free guitar, bass, and ukulele lessons on Fender Play,” said Fender CEO Andy Mooney.</p>
<p>Another act of support for musicians, in this unpleasant reality, was the company&#8217;s involvement in initiatives like the &#8220;Uncancelled Music Festival&#8221; and MusiCares &#8220;COVID-19 Relief Fund&#8221;, helping, not only the musicians, but the touring personnel as well.</p>

<p>To sign up for a free 3 months of Fender Play, interested users can visit <a href="https://www.fender.com/playthrough?utm_source=press_release&amp;utm_medium=PR&amp;utm_campaign=PT3MO" target="_blank">fender.com/playthrough</a> . The link will lead to the official Fender Play website, where musicians can receive a code to enter and start learning. Card info is not needed for that process. As stated in the official announcement &#8220;There are no strings attached – just music&#8221; The video lessons are versatile in terms of the genre preference and the level of the musician.</p>
<p>The program is directed by professional music teachers and it gives beginner and intermediate players to learn and play the songs of their favourite artists. Short demo of a lesson with official guitar instructor Nikki Stevens has been posted on the Instagram Profile of Fender Play</p>
