New courses and special offers from Guitar Weekends
Listed on August 19, 2013 in Member News, Music, OffersGuitar Weekends have been providing top quality residential guitar courses since 1995 for guitarists of all ability levels across most genres. This autumn they are launching three new courses :-
- 25th October – a Beginners Weekend at Farncombe Estate in the Cotswolds – this is for those who either want to start playing the guitar or who have started but are getting nowhere fast; it’ll be a small course with limited places covering everything from set-up to basic chord progressions and scales to different strumming patterns and rhythms, focusing on tunes and not just technique.
- 8th November at Farncombe Estate in the Cotswolds – a Themed Weekend for Improvers to learn left and right hand techniques, grooves and licks through the eyes of Clapton, The Eagles, The Beatles and others.
- 6th December a Weekend for The Complete Guitarist at the Westmorland Hotel in Cumbria – reading and writing chord charts, how to create an effective rhythm part, how to record guitar (electric acoustic), rehearsing and directing a band, extended chord theory and creating a great solo.
Additionally, these is a 10% discount offer for places on these two upcoming courses in the Cotswolds:
- Acoustic Folk – Donovan, Beatles, Dylan, McTell and more [27 Sept]
- Intro to Jazz – how to “jazz up” popular songs [25 Oct]
plus a discount scheme for booking more than one course (as well as incentives for introducing someone totally new to Guitar Weekends!). See the full list in the table below or email info@guitarweekends.co.uk.
