May 26th Blues Guitar Day
Hillingdon-West London
The Community Hut, Manor House Farm, Ruislip Ha4 8bd
Throughout the day we will look at all styles of acoustic blues guitar, from the shuffles of Brownie McGee, through the classic blues of Robert Johnson, moving on to more complex ragtime chord progressions and exploring open tunings. Time permitting, there will also be a chance to look at the slide guitar style (slides can be provided).
Some of the tunes covered will be; Brownie Mcgee's 'Living With The Blues', Robert Johnson's 'Kind Hearted Woman' and 'Hellhound On My Trail', Blind Boy Fuller's 'Trucking My Blues Away' and 'Let Me Squeeze Your Lemon'.
We will look at blues in the keys of E, A, G and C.
Students need not have finger picking experience, but should be familiar with 'open' chords.
The day will run from 10am to 5pm, with tea (tea and coffee provided) and lunch breaks.
Spaces are limited to 12 persons maximum, so please contact me here or Gary Harbord [email protected]
Cost £60 (reduced price for concessions)
