Join Gerry Kelly for this level 1/2 (Intermediate) Guitar for singers course

Guitar for Singers - This course is for guitarists who want to accompany either their own singing or other singers. It will look at how to get the best out of your guitar playing so that it complements a song whilst allowing a singing performance to shine. We will look at harmony, chord selection, rhythms, playing dynamics, listening skills, tempos, stage craft and performance technique using a variety of song examples over the course of the 10 weeks. Participants will be encouraged to sing as well as play to become comfortable with the techniques that create a really good performance. The course is aimed at intermediate standard guitarists with a good grasp of basic chords and will explore how to move from these to some more adventurous chord shapes up the dusty end of the fretboard!
