GLJ will present guitar and songwriting workshops at Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago on March 27 and 28. You can register for them at the school website--http://www.oldtownschool.org/classes/register/workshops.php?type=Workshop
Workshop descriptions:
Intro to Hybrid Picking: Saturday 03/27/2010 at 1:00 PM
Hybrid picking isn't about deciding on a new car. It's simply a combination of flatpicking and fingerpicking, creating a new sound that incorporates advantages of both techniques. It can involve the flatpick and one, two, or three fingers, and is used by players in varied styles on acoustic and electric instruments. This workshop will introduce some of the advantages as well as challenges in applying hybrid picking to song accompaniment, picking patterns, strums, and soloing. You'll explore activities and exercises that help you get comfortable with the approach.
Songwriters' Workshop: Saturday 03/27/2010 at 3:00 PM
Here's a workshop for songwriters of all levels who would like some input on their works in progress. Bring songs that need some help, photocopies of the lyrics, and your guitar. The critiquing process used in the workshop is safe, unthreatening, and creator-focused. Gary Lee Joyner has successfully coached songwriters in private and group settings for many years.
Alternate Guitar Tunings: Sunday 03/28/2010 at 1:00 PM
I'm interested in DADGAD, but I just end up saying EGAD! How can I enjoy getting lost in a new tuning, but still find my way home? Are there similarities between tunings or is each one a totally new territory to be navigated without bearings? Is there a difference between altered tunings and open tunings? Is standard tuning just another altered tuning? These questions and more will be answered for anyone whose interest in tunings is hindered by intimidation. You'll explore and compare tunings, learn chord shapes, and get ideas on how to use them.
The "This-Is-Not-Your-Father's-Capo!" Workshop: Sunday 03/28/2010 at 3:00 PM
The capo is an indispensable tool for many guitarists while being misunderstood or even mistrusted by others. This workshop will offer fresh insights into the creative potential lurking in your capo. You'll discover useful applications for transposition, songwriting, composition, and performance. The exciting and constantly developing world of partial capoing will also be carefully explored and explained. Gary recommends that you come equipped with a standard Kyser capo suited to your guitar, as well as either a Kyser Short-Cut or a Shubb Partial Capo. The friendly folks at The Different Strummer can help you in your selection.
