Event Description:
Workshop fee: £40
This workshop introduces the blues, looking at techniques such as turnarounds, shuffles and basic basslines, demystifying ‘V-IV-I’ chord sequences. We’ll explore fundamental techniques such as finger picking, hammer-ons and pull-offs, using examples from classic recordings. You’ll need to be comfortable with E, A, D and B7 chords and be able to change confidently between them. Some knowledge of E and A minor pentatonic scales will also be helpful. etails of these can be downloaded via this link or email [email protected].) You will need to bring a six-string acoustic guitar. (The follow-on Blues Guitar Part 2 takes place on Saturday 18 July.)
Tutor Joff Watkins is an accomplished blues player who combines a performing and teaching career in both harmonica and guitar, including leading the highly popular blues harmonica workshops here at The Stables.
