Creative Fingerstyle Guitar with Open Tunings / Composition and Songwriting
SEE CHRISTIE IN CONCERT AT BOULEVARD MUSIC TWO DAYS LATER ON FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21 ALSO. CONCERT TICKETS ARE AVAILABLE ON THIS WEBSITE.
The following is a description of the workshop in Christie’s own words.
This class will focus on creative techniques in composition for guitar. It will introduce a variety of open tunings, fingerstyle patterns, approaches to writing memorable melodies along with various approaches to song forms. Attendees will be provided with a collection of guitar tunings, some of which will be explored through shapes, fingerstyle patterns and creative motifs to spark new ideas. You will be encouraged to compose a piece of music or write a vocal song after the class given the tools provided in the workshop. We will also spend some time on essential guitar techniques that allow relaxation and minimal effort to allow longevity in the hands.
From there we’ll discuss more advanced techniques such as left and right hand tapping, harmonization of melodies, percussive guitar thumps, tapping bass lines and slap harmonics. These ideas will enable you to incorporate new tricks into a musical form while engaging with your creativity. By the end, you should feel there is a wide-open path of new thought to your musical toolbox!
Additionally we will discuss song development, harmonic twists, chord progressions, and ways to make your pieces unique by developing your own musical voice.
