Guitar Accelerator
Speed up your progress!
Guitarist Tiny Grimes (Library of Congress)If you've been taking lessons for six months, a year, or maybe two and you find your motivation starting to flag, you're not alone.
Or maybe, the problem is that you are alone. Learning is so much more fun with other people - and music is exponentially more fun with other people. That's the first thing you'll learn in this workshop, although you'll learn many other things too. For instance:
- How to tackle those scary barre chords (and how learning one of them really gives you a dozen)
- Lots of new songs, riffs, patterns, and lead licks
- How to trick yourself into reading music
- The secrets to good strumming
- How to identify any note on your guitar
- How to improvise a cool guitar solo using just five notes
- How to figure out songs by ear
Whether you're tooling along the road at a pretty good pace or in danger of heading toward the breakdown lane, this workshop will turbocharge your skills and get you in the best guitar-playing shape of your life, all in a friendly, supportive environment. The week will end with a concert for your family and friends (don't worry, you don't have to perform solo if you don't want to!).
This workshop will be offered the weeks of June 25 and July 30, 2012 at 56 17th Street in Ansley Park. Sign up now!
