MONDAYS
Monday 6PM: Slow Track Fun #8 for Guitar & Uke (level 2) New Class! An easy going class for those who know some basic guitar chords or want to get started on the ukulele. We will learn at least a dozen well-known songs from a wide variety of sources. Songs from artists like Bonnie Raitt, Woody Guthrie, Ray Charles, Hank Williams, John Denver, Creedence Clearwater, Emmylou Harris, American traditional songs and many more. We will also learn how to start playing songs by ear. 7PM: Easy Americana #5
(Level 2-3 to 3) Wonderful songs from early blues and country sources plus many contemporary artists whose music has deep roots in the traditions that shaped what we now call folk, alternative, acoustic rock, singer/songwriters, etc. Artists like Mississippi John Hurt, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings, John Prine, Emmylou Harris, Tom Petty, Aiofe O'Donovan, and many more. |
TUESDAYS
5PM: All Paul Simon #3 (level 2 -3 and up) Another New Class full of Paul Simon songs! Learn a hefty handful of some of Paul Simon's best known songs tailor-made for intermediate guitar players who love both Paul Simon and Simon and Garfunkle. You should be able to play barre chords for this class. We will occasionally use guitar tablature when its helpful but primarily this will be a class that focuses on playing and singing great Paul Simon songs! 6PM: Songwriter's Circle
(no guitar level) Open to songwriters of all levels including beginners. Our songwriting class is different every quarter in our constant search for the muse. Come to get started writing your own songs; come for ideas and guidance; come to share a song in progress or a finished song. Come just to have a great time! 7PM: Americana and It's Roots #33
(multi-level class: levels 3 and 4) Always New Songs! This class will be popular, so it is offered at two different times and will be taught at two different levels to fit a wider range of playing ability. We will feature contemporary music that incorporates elements of American roots music styles plus the origins of American roots music. We’ll learn songs from artists like Lyle Lovett, the Wailin’ Jennys, Gillian Welch, John Hiatt, Brandi Carlile, Aiofe O'Donovan, Bruce Cockburn, Sarah Jarosz, Emmylou Harris, etc. We will also learn songs from some of the primary sources of American roots music. All guitar arrangements are written in tablature. |
