Beginning Swing Guitar
Cost: $99/$109/$50
Instructor: Bill Leake
Time: Thursdays 6:15-7:15pm beginning Oct. 2nd
Location: The downtown Meeker Music store, 624 N. Tejon St. (Park in back of store off the alley in the Meeker lot and ring the back doorbell as the store is closed at that time.)
Description: If you’ve been wanting to go to the Swing Jam but are intimidated by all those fancy chords and upbeat rhythm, then this is the course for you. You will learn the proper right-hand “la pompe” technique, left-hand muting, and 7 closed-position moveable chord shapes that will allow you to play any swing song, no matter how complicated. We’ll also get into a little chord substitution theory to help you recognize chord patterns when learning new songs and change the chords to ones that you know. This is a course in rhythm only. Leads will not be taught.
Prerequisites: Ability to play barre chords
What to Bring: Your own guitar (any model), a tuner, and a music stand
