This is a class designed for adults just starting out on guitar. We will learn chords, strumming patterns, songs, a few riffs and licks, songs and of course more songs. Students will receive handouts and mp3 files to listen to and practice with.  Some of the artists we will cover: Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Bob Marley, Ventures and more! All you need to participate is a guitar and willingness to learn.

ZZ TOP

THE GUITAR OF BILLY GIBBONS

Six Thursdays

Starting January 12

7-8:30

on-line (zoom)

price: $175

If you got the time…to learn some classic blues rock from that little band from Texas then this class if for you. Gibbons playing is deceptively simple. Yes, it’s steeped in blues, but there are a lot of tricks he had up his sleeve. Song will include:

Jesus Just Left Chicago

I Want to Thank You

Cheap Sunglasses

Waiting for the Bus

and more

 

Jamming the Blues*

Six Saturdays

starting January 7

10:30am-12:30pm

in person at

Timbre Folk, 801 Bancroft, Berkeley, CA

price: $200

For guitar players who want to learn how play a 12 bar blues in various keys. We will take a basic 12 bar blues as our background format and use ideas based on scales, riffs and chord shapes to learn both rhythm and lead playing. This will be a lot of fun for those folks who have a little background in playing blues rhythms, but want to create lead lines that are rippin! 

*Participants are required to be vaccinated and boosted and masks can be worn if desired. Participants must also be comfortable being in an enclosed room with 5-8 other people for two hours.
