Are you looking for new songs to add to your repertoire? Do you want to learn how to make a song come alive on your guitar? This is the workshop for you! Take advantage of Spencer Bohren’s four decades of collecting and performing traditional and contemporary blues, country, folk, and gospel music. Learn how to get the most from your guitar as he selects gems in all the relevant guitar keys from his seemingly endless repertoire and shares secrets about vocals, arrangement, songwriting, open tunings and more. Spencer’s inclusive teaching style also includes casual anecdotes, musical philosophy and historical background of the songs you’ll learn. Be forewarned, though, you’re going to have a lot of fun in this class!
A basic knowledge of first position “cowboy chords” and simple strumming patterns will be helpful.
