If you are an intermediate/advanced player and have played bluegrass,
country, folk, Americana, or SWING, this class is for you. If you are
more of a beginner but able to comfortably play standard (aka
"campfire" or “cowboy”) chords, we'll review the basics as well.
We'll study and practice swing rhythms, including 'La Pompe', right
hand technique, swing and jazz chords, gypsy jazz 3-note chords,
familiar chord patterns and changes, how to get the "swing feel", and
of course, soloing. Most importantly you'll learn how to play swing
with others in band or jam situations and other aspects of swing
guitar that YOU want to learn!
We'll use as little theory as possible; prior theory, scales and sight
reading not required. The only prerequisites are to know the basic
chords (knowledge of swing chords is a definite plus) and to be
interested in playing swing!
