Acoustic Roots and Blues: Acoustic Guitar
Level 2/3
A modern troubadour of roots & blues, Jacobs-Strain's extensive knowledge of music history informs his playing with an authenticity that is startling for his age. This workshop will focus on the texture and the feeling that evokes the music, rather than rote memorization of the songs. Skills learned can be applied to a range of songs in the blues styles, and interpreted on steel or acoustic guitar. Vocalization techniques will also be explored and put into practice during class.
