This is a class for flatpickers who want to unlock the secrets of Western Swing guitar. The emphasis will be on the chord forms, but we'll be singing and learning some hot riffs too. We'll learn basic chords and strums, some runs and hammer-ons, and lots of really good songs. For absolute beginners and those that know only a few chords. We'll explore flatpick rhythms in a bunch of styles and learn how to create tasteful arrangements that use rhythmic variety, intros, runs, fills and some leads.
