Guitar Lessons, Ear Training & Performance
About
As you progress, you will learn about not just notes and chords, but how to improve part-finding skills, nuances (patterns, bends, slurs, neck location intuition, etc.), and useful sound design strategies (guitar and pickup combinations, effects, how to use your own gear to perform them).
You will train in pitch recognition and scale/chord construction to identify any part – instrumental or vocal - and understand its role within the context of the song and ensemble. Emphasis for the above will be primarily related to specific weekly focus songs.
