Strumming The GUITAR has it’s own right place. But when learning the fingerstyle, it opens a wide variety of very beautiful melodies . Because you play as an orchestra. What do we mean by this? Well, in the beginning we will be learning several basslines with the thumb in combination with the melody. So, you play both the rhythm and the melody together. I am also going to give you an amazing formula which you van use to build your own FINGERPICKING patterns as you practice. This course is both for the beginner and intermediate student. Those already know some chords, can receive help modify them so that you can adjust to a song and integrate the melody into the chordshape. It is a most interesting course open for everyone !!
For playing blues on the harmonica, you will be needing a 10-Hole DIATONIC harmonica in the key of C. We start with holding the harmonica rightfully in your hand and in the mouth. Then we will be playing our first pure, single note. And then gradually playing them all over the instrument. Then it is time for learning the basic 12 bar blues progression. This will help you to start to play your favourite bluestunes, but also start your own tunes. In the course , you will also be able to learn the important technique: Bending. This is an integral part of bluesharmonica. I will show you exactly how to do that. And a lots of other techniques. But, most of all, you will have a la of fun. You will have much joy !!
Learning to play the piano is very enjoyable. I will take you through the basic elements (all notes, chords, scale, etc...) to playing your first song. This doesn't have to take too long. And also further, such as improvising, for more advanced people. I teach Blues and boogie woogie. Individual help guaranteed! And don't forget the fun. Greetings, Rick
The student starts by holding the harmonica correctly, which is a diatonic in the key of G (sol). Then he / she learns to play a pure note, and to master the distances between the different holes. The C scale is also studied. Learn to play in 1st position, then in 2nd position. A simple song is taught. Then some basic techniques, such as: thrills, sliding and bending. 10 lessons are enough to have a good foundation.
Do you want to play your favorite song on guitar? In other words, do you want to start playing harmonica? Then you are at the right place. There is no age to start. young and old can come to me! My motivation is to help the student achieve his goal. Whatever it is. You can expect a patient, friendly approach from me. This means: I provide individual assistance to each student, with the necessary finesse. Specifically what you need to make progress. You will get the basics, but in a fun way! The different techniques will be dealt with during the course.
