Swing Rhythm Guitar w/ Tony Marcus
Tuesdays, 6:30-7:45 pm, beginning November 15
Tony Marcus has long been a presence on the San Francisco Bay Area acoustic music scene. Known for performing with Cats & Jammers, Cheap Suit Serenaders, and Leftover Dreams, Tony is a highly skilled (and superbly swinging) player of guitar, violin, and other stringed instruments. He is often called on to do clinics and workshops in swing guitar and vocal harmonizing and arranging; these have included the Puget Sound Guitar Workshop, International Guitar Seminars, California Coast Music Camp, Augusta Heritage Workshops, and more. |

We'll use movable four note chords and good voice leading combined with a strong 4/4 right hand beat to create the sound that makes people want to dance. This class will feature two levels of complexity for each song: For those new to the style, we'll start with just a couple of chord shapes and build on that as the classes progress. For those with experience with the basic chord shapes we'll move them around, using different inversions, chromatic neighbors, and simple harmonic substitutes. Lots of playing in class!
