Location: 6 String Ranch | We've covered these mulitple places. This is an attempt to organize it to one list. You have 4 three hous sessions plus a recap Sunday morning of a lenght to be determined then.
What do you want to cover.
Part of why I ask is that I have someome who could give separate instruction for 1,1-5 hour on slide or open tunings or, or,
I'd like to get the desires of the class and then he and Matt can decide who does slide, who does lap steel, who covers open tunings and the like
It is also rumored that Debanjo Reinhardt will be there so any drop outs will have to take a tutorial of the proper cleansing of a banjo resonator and proper lubrication of the banjorour.
Seriously these smnaller classes have just come about and offer a chance to get into some areas mnore deeply.
So Help us out guys, it's for your benefit.
Thanks, |

Location: south east Michigan | For the most part, I am a cowboy chord guy. I can get a little fancy now & then but basicly.... I like to strum & sing.
I'm hoping to leave the island with a few new ideas that will help me embelish what I am now doing. I'm not exactly sure what that is but I hope to sound a little more "complicated" a few months after the clinic.
And I won't mind some inspiration around the old pentitonic scale.
Lastly... I'm interested in "turning a song on it's ear". Like the way you worked over "Love the One Your With". Now maybe that's something that can't be taught but I'm trying to get my head around the concept. |

Just some insight into the workings around the fretboard and different strumming techniques would be worth the price of admission for me ;) |

Those topics will cover me as well.
Although I'm usually a quick study, guitar is one area that this does not apply. Start basic and slow, repeat.

1. How to play a song in front of people(how to be most effective)
2. How to put together a set list
3. How to get the most out of practice time
4. How to break out of ruts
5. Helpful tips for singing.(besides don't) |

Those're ALL Good'ns, Beal . . . we WILL have t'remember these.
I might be able t'help out some with the singing-stuff.
Never "taught" it before (it was more "coercion" than "instruction" . . ask my ex-partner, Rick).
But ONE of MyGoals is gonna' be gettin' some Barrel-Chested Bellows out of MasterBradley . . . |

Travis/Atkins/Dadi styles are my requests as well as anything blues.
Beal, from one who spent many years on the road, I'd be glad to offer some tips on anything connected, as well as singing/voice care/set construction...if needed; I'm happy to share, as I'm sure others are as well.
Equally happy to just listen, absorb, and apply!
I'm really looking forward to the entire time...
And thanks Beal for putting this together! |

Also, slide (for beginners), open tuning (for beginners) and fingerpickin' blues (for beginners :rolleyes: )
At the risk of annoying the attendees again (like I did regarding the last factory tour) any chance of someone videoing the sessions for us foreigners?
Financial reimbursement would be forthcoming, I'd imagine. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Now if you start to add an extra syllable on the end of words (as I learned when my daughters hit adolescence) it would be called a "dipthong".
Example: "No(uh)!"
Have fun with that little tidbit. |
