Blues Guitar in Open Tunings w/ Pete Madsen
Thursdays, 7:00-8:15 pm, beginning September 13
In this class we will play strictly in open tunings. We will explore some of the great songs from blues masters such as Robert Johnson, Skip James, Son House and others. We will also learn some exercises meant to stimulate your own creativity in open tunings. Some of the tunings we will look at are: open D, open G, open C, open D minor and others if time permits. We will be playing mainly fingerstyle (using an alternating bass), but might do a little strumming, as well. Participants should have some familiarity with blues fingerpicking.
