- Education
I am a totally blind guitar player. There are many barriers to blind musicians playing guitar and working with pedals: learning what each knob, button and port is, or whether or not the pedal will even be usable. In this podcast, I will demonstrate individual pedals, and document all of the controls and ports on the pedal, so that a blind or low vision user can start using the pedal out of the box.
