On Saturday, February 23rd, from 1:30p – 3:30p, Barry Pollack will teach a class in ‘The Art of Fingerstyle Guitar’ at Dusty Strings Music School. This is the first workshop in a new monthly series.
Create your own musical arrangements for fingerstyle guitar by figuring out how to play the melody, chord progression, and rhythm at the same time. In this class, also learn how to add an independent bass line and characteristic riffs to make your arrangement stand out. ‘The Art of Fingerpicking’ will teach how the arrangement is built and different solutions for specific phrases.
Each month, the class will present several easy to gig arrangements of a song picked from the folk, rock, pop, jazz, Latin, world or blues genre. All music presented will be in both TAB and staff notation, with available Mp3 practice tracks – and every class will provide opportunity for using a smartphone or tablet to take videos of demonstrations.
The class costs $50. Please pre-register on-line at Dusty Strings Music School (click here,) or stop by the store for more information and registration before the class on February 23rd.
