⟣Coming Soon To The Musician's Workshop⟢
Blues Guitar Essentials w/ Glenn Weiser at The Parlor Room
4/7, 4/14, 4/21 & 4/28 at 7:00pm
In this four-part series with Glenn Weiser, who Acoustic Guitar magazine has called a “master teacher,” we will first learn the basic 12-bar blues progression in the keys most often played on guitar, and what the I, IV, and V chords are in each guitar key. After that, we will explore up-the neck chords to get a greater variety of voicings. We will learn the basics of soloing by using closed-position pentatonic minor scales, and study at the CAGED system of scale fingerings and chords to understand the musical layout of the guitar fretboard. We will also explore the theory of improvisation, and how to solo over a chord line. You can bring either an acoustic or an electric guitar, and play with a pick or with your fingers. No matter what your skill level is, there will be something new here for you to learn.
Performance Skills w/ Erin Mckeown at The Parlor Room
Saturday, April 26th at 1:00pm
Never been onstage? Been onstage alot but are looking to freshen up your approach? This comprehensive workshop will give useful tools, strategies, and most importantly help you develop new routines to make performing not only more comfortable, but even fun for any type of performer. We’ll start with the “gig-before-the-gig”, work through soundcheck, warm-up techniques, then stage time. There will be opportunities for you to get onstage in the workshop, or you can just sit and listen. Join us!
