Blues Week is back!
Blues Week 2022 provides the perfect opportunity for blues enthusiasts to come together for a full week of music making. It is a chance to broaden your skills and knowledge in a comfortable, relaxed atmosphere. The programme will offer morning and afternoon workshops and classes for all levels. The beginner classes are for those who have little or no knowledge of their instrument. The intermediate and advanced classes are for those who already play to varying degrees of proficiency and are ready to learn new tunes, techniques and styles. The evening activities throughout the week will consist of a concert by the staff members, a student concert and nightly jam sessions.
I will be teaching slide guitar, 'open' tunings and blues mandolin alongside; John Miller (guitar), Abi Budgen (guitar), Rick Franklin (guitar), Kenny Sultan (guitar), Michael Roach (guitar), Sonny Black (guitar), Homesick Mac (slide guitar), Eddie Martin (slide guitar and harmonica), Grant Dermody (harmonica), Will Wilde (harmonica).

Bude-Cornwall
Guitar Retreats-Cool Blues & Hot Pickin' weekend
SOLD OUT!
Contact Stuart at Guitar Retreats (click the button below) to get on the cancellation list
Learn essential finger picking techniques from the ‘cool blues’ of players such as Mississippi John Hurt and Memphis Minnie, then on to the exciting ragtime style of players such as, Blind Boy Fuller and Big Bill Broonzy.
Throughout the weekend students will cover basic techniques while learning ‘classic acoustic blues’, ‘ragtime’ and ‘hot jazz’ tunes. From the original Chicago blues of the 1920’s, then down the east coast to find the alternate thumb style known as ‘Piedmont’.
Techniques covered will include; ‘Thumb Rolls’, ‘Moving bass line’, ‘Chord inversions’, ‘Diminished chord runs’, and more.
The main course of the weekend will be standard tuning, although some time will be set aside for open tunings. A diverse range of early American musicians used open tunings without a slide to great effect.
