Introduction:
In this course, we will be 'breaking through' and bridging the gap from confident intermediate player to competent musician. If you're bored with your guitar playing, this course is for you! This course is designed for the intermediate player who wants to advance. To benefit fully from this course you will need to be able to play confidently both open position and barre chords.
Among other things, we will explore new approaches to chords, and different chord 'voicings'; we will explore how chords are built and how to build the chords we need, rather than just memorise random shapes; and we will explore how chord progressions work so we can play any song in any style. We will also further develop our right and left hand skills with some cool expressive techniques.
" I would do it again - I like the mix of theory & practice." Charlotte
"Karl delivered exactly what the course was advertised - always engaging, entertaining and very informative." Regina
"Excellent as usual. Karl has a brilliant way of teaching and always creates a wonderful experience." Sophia
