Tony O'Rourke from popular Bluegrass/Gospel band Dancing with Angels will guide players through 3 to 4 songs such as an uptempo version of “Light At The River’’, the standard ’’Will The Circle’’, an old Stanley Bros. classic ‘’Mother Left Me Her Bible’’, and ‘’Pass Me Not’’.The workshop will use these songs to look into Tony’s approaches to playing these songs, bass runs, G Runs, selecting a key, and some basic guitar advice including something that is often overlooked. This workshop would be most suitable for guitarists who have a basic knowledge of chords and are comfortable playing songs.
Guitar beginners are welcome also but should have at least a basic knowledge of the instrument. This is not a “learn to play” workshop. As a beginner you would pick up valuable hints, and if nothing else, have 4 new songs in your kitbag. Tony is also happy to answer questions about any aspect of guitar playing.
While aimed at guitar players, ukulele players with a through understanding of instrument may also benefit from Tony’s knowledge but you would need to be confident playing in a range of keys or using a capo and again if nothing else will have learnt 3 or 4 new songs. Tony is not directly familiar with ukulele but there will be some assistance available from other participants. This workshop is not recommended for beginner ukulele players.
Tony will provide song sheets and other information to attendees on the day.
Attendance at the workshop is a GOLD COIN donation but please indicate your attendance via Trybooking to ensure we have enough handouts.
