This session is one of our Music Corner Drop-in series with Jamie McCredie. Generally we run them weekly each Tuesday at 7.30pm and delve into a broad range of subjects relating to technique, theory, know-how, practice or something topical in the guitar world.
Over two sessions we’re looking at the unique style of Stevie Ray Vaughan. He’s globally recognised as one of the best guitarists of all time. Lots of techniques, know-how and licks to apply to your own songs.
Overview
This session looks at the legend, Stevie Ray Vaughan. His playing has inspired so many famous guitarists including the likes of two who we have looked at fairly recently, BB King and Eric Clapton.
He absorbed an eclectic mix of styles such as blues, rock and jazz and others. These all featured heavily in helping him to form his unique musical voice and approches to performing.
We’ll be looking at some of the techniques he used as part of some of his repertoire. More on this nearer the time of the session.
Music Corners in general
These weekly one hour sessions are designed to give us the tools to self-improve and widen our knowledge in the following general areas: rhythm, reading music, improvising, understanding music theory, getting good tone, how to play a solo, how to play with a group, how to develop your ear, learning the rules of music through transcribing the history of a genre. Our tutor, Jamie McCredie, will share key things he has learned over years that have helped to make him the professional guitarist and musician he is today.
Materials:
You will receive any relevant PDFs and occasionally we might record the live Zoom lesson and make it available.
Session suitability
These sessions are most suitable for intermediate players with a tad of music theory/knowledge but players of all standards will register some lightbulb moments and pick up some great ideas and approaches.
