Pierce Pettis Guitar and Songwriting Masterclass

Have you ever wanted to learn the guitar secrets of artists like Richard Thompson, Joni Mitchell, Steven Stills, Lindsey Buckingham, Keith Richards, Leo Kottke, Bruce Cockburn, Ry Cooder, and Bob Dylan — as well as blues greats like Robert Johnson and John Lee Hooker?
It’s all about the tunings … and they’re easy! Each tuning will transform your guitar into an exciting new instrument! (Great for songwriters, BTW.)
In this class, Pierce’s alternate tunings clinic will cover drop tunings, open tunings, reverse open tunings, and even a totally unique and jazzy minor tuning.
Each tuning will include easy-to-read chord diagrams and a couple of well-known songs to try out. Plus, every student will receive access to tons of articles and exercises, as well as literally hundreds more tunings to try long after the clinic ends.
In addition Pierce will go over his songwriting process. Designed for both the novice and experienced writer alike, the workshop will cover the basics of music composition and lyric writing, as well as methods for finding inspiration, co-writing, honestly judging your work, etc. Each student will receive access to over $100 worth of materials to continue improving their skills long after the clinic is over.
“Sometimes I have to stop listening to a Pierce Pettis track halfway through because he makes me want to give up on songwriting. Pierce is a master musical storyteller, delivering human truth and heartbreaking vulnerability with every tune.”
— Justin Paul
(Grammy/Oscar/Tony/Emmy-winning lyricist/composer, “La La Land,” “Dear Evan Hansen”)
