In this class we’ll learn 2 songs and 2 instrumentals (all new material) with the focus on new ways to apply technique: augmented chord, early music classical style, open tuning with suspended harmony, raggy rhythms, etc. All materials are shared before each lesson so students have music, tabs, song sheets, chord charts, to print as well as sound files.

This class will advance players’ musical thinking, as it applies to melody, form, harmony, and chord shapes, and fret board maps on fretted instruments. We’ll be using interactive lecture format with worksheets, music, and sound files that are emailed to the class. Reading music will be helpful, but in working through the assignments students may pick up skills in reading (and writing) notation. Students will email their work and questions at least the day before each session.
