online: Folk/Blues Fingerstyle Guitar
This 5-week online course is a chance for guitarists who know a few simple chords to expand their technique by taking an in-depth look at folk and blues fingerstyle with musician Tom Cronin.
Participants will be guided through a repertoire of songs and instrumentals, focusing on techniques such as Travis picking through the playing of early roots and blues musicians; Elizabeth Cotten and Mississippi John Hurt; folk revivalists, Davy Graham and Donovan and modern day artists such as Jake Xerxes Fussell and Shakey Graves.
