With Lee
Hodgson,
Next weekend 14th May 2010, NOW FULL.
These weekends, whilst being highly informative, are also highly enjoyable, humorous and truly epitomize our motto "Learn at Leisure". You will have a great time.
Rhythm using country playing techniques to get great grooves.
Soloing and Improvising techniques to get that great country guitar sound using Pentatonic, Diatonic, Chromatic and open string scales.
Musical knowledge to help you understand what you're doing, including the
jargon used (terminology).
How to accompany other players and singers tastefully (joining up the chords).
How to practice effectively and develop a practice routine with exercises to improve you're playing technique.
Lots of hot country licks, Bluegrass picking and
banjo rolls.
How to set up your amp for that definitive Country or personal sound.
Finger-picking techniques, Merle Travis, Chet Atkins.
Hybrid-picking (both fingers and plectrum).
How to use double-stops and open string runs to get that great country sound.
Open tunings for acoustic.
Learn how Albert Lee get's that fluidity and speed in his playing.
Look at the styles of 'Chet Atkins', Albert Lee, Jerry Donahue, Clarence White,
Brent Mason and many more.
A great holiday break where you will join other like-minded players for an excellent social and informative weekend.

Dear
Malcolm,
Sincere thanks for the superb
weekend with yourself and Jim Hornsby. The quality
of the teaching and the informal structure were just
right and I think everyone got a lot out of it.
Everything about the weekend was spot on, the
accommodation, atmosphere, course notes, gear set up
etc. ........and the comradery at the pub
too!
I will certainly be joining another weekend in the near
future - you are providing a great service here which
you can be proud of.
