Practical follow-on workshop for beginner blues guitar players covering 12-bar progressions, the blues scale and shuffle rhythms.
Blues Guitar Beginners Part 2 runs at The Stables on Saturday 14 November, starting at 10:00am. It's a practical follow-on workshop for beginner blues guitarists, so it's designed for people who've already had a first go at the basics and are looking to build on them rather than start from scratch.
The session focuses on three core elements of the blues. You'll work through 12 bar progressions, the foundation that holds most blues songs together; the blues scale, which gives you the notes to build your own solos; and shuffle rhythms, that swinging, uneven feel that defines the genre. It's a hands-on morning, so you'll be playing through these things rather than just listening to someone talk about them.
The Stables runs public music workshops and courses throughout the year, and they describe them as sociable and stimulating ways to become a musician. The sessions are open to people at different stages: those returning to playing after a long break, those taking their first chance to play in a band, people creating their own music, or anyone working on technical and performance skills to get more confident. This particular one is a practical follow-on for beginner blues guitar players, so it's a good fit if you've already got the basics down and want to push a bit further.
