Summer Guitar Workshop

 Sign up now! Tutorpedia's summer guitar workshop starts on Monday June 21st

Everyone has their own song to sing, but few people actually do it. In the age of sampled production and Guitar Hero video games, fewer and fewer people have a good idea as to what it takes to actually make music. If you have a song that you and your guitar want to get out to the world, then this is the workshop for you! In this workshop, we will work on skills that will make you a better guitarist and songwriter. We will use the music of the Beatles (or other modern popular music) as a springboard to examine what makes a good song, certain aspects of music theory, how to play by ear, how to jam with ensembles, how to improvise, and more. We will work on putting original twists to well-known songs, selecting songs to work on in duets, and eventually you will be writing and recording your own songs that you can post to the Internet for the world to hear! This workshop is intended for beginners, but all styles and ability levels are welcome. You will need to supply your own guitar. The workshop will be for acoustic instruments only.
