In this class, I'll be showing you the basics of country/folk guitar
rhythm playing and how to get the best tone with a flatpick. If you'd
like to break out of general strumming into a simple, effective
flat-picking style that supports your vocals and sounds good in groups
and jams, this is a great place to begin. Prerequisite is being
comfortable playing the first position "cowboy" chords.From Previous
Students:
"Richard, I'm really enjoying the current Intro to Flatpicking class.
Crossing my fingers that the Freight will keep you teaching classes.
I'm hoping to take the Singing from Inside the Song class next
session."
"Richard's Intro to Flatpicking Guitar class has been extremely
helpful for me to learn the rhythm basics to participate in bluegrass
jams. The pace of the course has been ideal - new material every week,
with the potential to dive deeper into previous concepts. It's giving
me a great foundation which I hope to continue through future classes
of Richard's."
"I took Richard's Intro to Flatpicking class. I had played a little
bit of guitar before, but really not much. I got so much out of it.
Richard teaches the basics to become good enough so that you won't get
kicked out of a jam, and maybe even make a welcome contribution."
"He showed us techniques for backing up singers with solid rhythm and
simple walk-ups and walk-downs, and gave us practice playing with
other guitar players. We worked up our own set with a few simple but
reliable songs that are suited to our own singing style."
"He's incredibly patient and challenges his students without leaving
anyone behind. I loved this class and would be delighted to take
another class with Richard to build on the skills I have."
"Richard, I just wanted to note that I really enjoyed your Intro to
Flatpicking course. It taught me exactly what I was hoping to learn at
this stage of my guitar playing. Looking forward to your singing class
on the 3 Sundays in January."
