THIS IS AN IN-PERSON CLASS

In this class, we’ll learn simple right-hand picking patterns and open tunings by playing and singing songs like Lead Belly’s Relax Your Mind, The Memphis Sheiks’ Ain’t Nobody’s Business But Mine, and Robert Johnson’s Kindhearted Woman.

Bring your guitar, a capo, any finger picks you use, and a slide if you have one. We will not be using flat picks or tab. This class is suitable for advanced beginners and up. An audio or video recorder is strongly encouraged to support your learning.
