About This Workshop

There is something very special about the art of solo guitar playing. Being able to carry all the parts and elements of a song or composition is very gratifying for both the listener and the player! Knowing how to achieve these tasks can deter some players, but this class will demystify many of the issues players have with when attempting to play with their fingers. With 20 years of performing and touring, Matt will cover a step-by-step approach to learning picking patterns, scales, ways to practice proactively, and the overall theory of stringed instruments. In addition, he will cover ways to help students create their very own compositions and arrangements of popular tunes. Students will have a hands-on approach to learning these elements, applying them, and practicing them with guidance from Matt, even getting a chance to jam with fellow students. Each day will be filled with opportunities to further your understanding of your instrument, gain control of the mind-muscle connection between your hands, and discover ways to feel more “at one” with your guitar. This will be an opportunity to learn how to think “out of the box” and apply these techniques to a simple box with strings! Matt suggests that students have basic guitar skills and to bring their own instrument.
