The seminar was held at the Red House in Walnut Creek, California, fittingly Newsted's hometown. Raja Singh, the owner of Red House, thought it would be a good experience for fans of Newsted and his work, and that people could get a chance to see a different side of Newsted, plus learn a few things in the process.

Newsted is involved in the movement Guitars Not Guns, a movement that helps children in foster care learn guitar, an outlet to try to keep them from causing trouble.
