(modified 1/28/10) Blues Guitar Class Taught by Rob Krumm
We don't have dates set for the next session of our blues guitar class. If you're interested in this class please contact Rob! His info is listed below.
This group a continuation of the "Let’s Play The Blues" class, and will emphasize beginner-to- advanced beginner techniques for playing the blues. If you have taken the Guitar From Scratch or the Build Your Repertoire guitar classes, or if you are interested in learning more about playing the blues, then this session will be perfect for you.
For this class you should know basic guitar skills, how to play open chords (e.g., G, C, D, A, E, Em, Am and others), and you should be able to change chords at-tempo. If you're not that experienced, then please check out our Guitar From Scratch class so you'll be ready for this one next time around!
This will be a group class with an emphasis on sharpening many techniques--including blues progressions, chords, turn-arounds and scales for playing leads and fills-- within the context of playing specific blues songs.
We’ll work together to develop a repertoire of blues tunes and students will recommend some of the songs that we’ll be playing. This is a great chance to work on those blues tunes that you’ve always wanted to play. We’ll play one or two new songs every week.
During this class we’ll explore playing lead guitar and you’ll learn to play the minor pentatonic blues scale (in many positions) to play leads and riffs.
You should come away from this class with a much better understanding of many basic blues guitar techniques and how to apply these techniques.
The fee for the "Beyond the Basics –Let’s Play the Blues" class is $90. If you are interested in taking this class or have questions about the class, please contact our instructor, Rob Krumm, via email rob@c-4a.org or phone at 217-840-4901.
