Pick-N-Putt Weekend
"Easier Done Than Said"
Level 1/2
This workshop will be geared towards those that are in the beginning stages of their fingerpicking journey. We will be teaching some of Jorma's great songs that you'll be familiar with before the workshop.
As we delve into the songs, before long you'll be noticing that you're acquiring new methods and techniques of fingerpicking. We will strive to get the thumb to be independent This will, over time become natural to you. Your thumb will become your bass player and songs that seemed out of reach will become part of your everyday repertoire. You will reach a point in your journey where it will be simpler to demonstrate how you're playing rather than to explain it to others. To put it another way, it will be: Easier Done Than Said!

"Playing Rhythm Guitar in a Rock and Roll Band"
Level 3
The early Moody Blues, in which Denny Laine played guitar and sang, was strictly a Rhythm and Blues band and Denny will demonstrate the early blues songs and riffs that launched his career and the career of the band. Lessons will include tips on tuning, chords, inversions, scales and strumming patterns. He will teach you the fundamentals about chordal guitar and basic and advanced chord shapes.
Denny's class will take a look at his time with Wings and the dynamics of playing guitar with a big band in theaters, stadiums, arenas and in the studio. Denny will discuss playing guitar in a band with sensitivity for working with your fellow bandmates and the band's singer.
Wings was well known for having incredible tight vocal and chordal harmonies in their music and Denny will discuss how they arranged their chordal and vocal harmonies.

"Tell Your Story - Create Your Own Blues Song"
Level 2/3
We’ll explore chord substitutions that add a little flavor to the basic chord changes, different tunings, bass lines, and the importance of the right hand to establish grooves and feels. I teach that “less is more”, and “you can say a lot with a little” in your songwriting and guitar playing. With these tools you can create a blues song telling a story of your life.
