Herb's rhythm guitar workshop will focus on basic chords, the use of the capo in finding the right key/position for song accompaniment, lower string accent beats, proper pick selection and some finger picking.
The class will center on country, bluegrass and some folk music. The harmony singing portion of the workshop will address creating two, three, and four part harmony structures in the major and minor chords. Students should bring a song for this purpose (suitable for developing as a duet, trio, or quartet).

About Herb Pedersen
Herb began his career in Berkeley, California in the early 60's playing 5 string banjo and acoustic guitar with the likes of David Grisman, Butch Waller, David Nelson, and Jerry Garcia. Herb has added accompaniments to the recordings of many prominent folk and country music artists, ranging from Emmylou Harris to Vince Gil, James Taylor, and Jesse Winchester, to name a few. Herb's discography reads like a Who's Who of the singer/songwriter scene prevalent in the 70s- 80s. His own groups include The Desert Rose Band, and The Laurel Canyon Ramblers. With his lifelong pal, Chris Hillman, Herb is in the process of continuing the type of music they both grew up playing and singing. There is a work in progress most of the time and that's the way Herb likes it.
Herb is no stranger to the world of TV and movie sound tracks with credits including The Rockford Files, Smokey and The Bandit, Hunter, and The Simpsons employing Herb either on 5 string banjo or vocals. From Carnegie Hall to the Ryman auditorium, Herb is a respected artist with an established presence in the music scene. www.herbpedersen.com
