This class focuses on practical approaches on how to create variations and improvise within a tune. The ideas will be illustrated by learning tunes from the repertoire of the blues and ragtime masters including Blind Blake, Lonnie Johnson, Eddie Lang as well as Woody’s original compositions. Woody will illustrate how syncopated picking techniques and a practical understanding of the fretboard are the basics for creating variations within a tune and improvisation. This is a good session for guitarists who are comfortable with basic fingerpicking but would like to take their playing to the next level. Enrollment is limited.
