Exploring the Blues 9.0: Grooving Down the Blues Highway
Instructor: Terry Hoffman
Date: Mondays, February 10 - March 16
Time: 7:30 pm
Price: $125, early bird discount is available*
This term we will work on 3 classic tunes all in the same key. We will focus on expanding fretboard knowledge, time-feel and chord inversions.
Each class includes a dedicated soloing component, where we will work on scales, licks, phrasing, and lots of jamming – all in search of the best notes!
As always, I’ll include:
- a teaching video that demonstrates various techniques at basic, intermediate and advanced skill levels
- a play-along mp3 track
- an instructional chart
- extension material for advanced students
Note reading isn’t a requirement and material is suitable for intermediate and advanced players (intermediate means being able to play through three-chord progressions, i.e. C-F-G, E-A-B, G-C-D, etc). Mandolin players are welcome!
You can view a video sampler of the tunes and techniques we covered in the 2017 – 2018 terms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z0QEAX1zkZ0
