R&B, Blues, Funk, Country, Gospel and Jazz all mix together in New Orleans. In this class we will learn guitar parts to New Orleans classics by Fats Domino, Earl King, The Meters, and Snooks Eaglin. In New Orleans R&B the guitar often plays more like a horn, tracing single note lines that form the backbone of the song. This can open many musical doors especially if you mostly strum chords and sing now. Spend time with Clave rhythms, 12/8 time, melodic licks, and that soul that permeates it all and makes you want to move. We will have a bunch of fun and add all kinds of spices to your guitar playing!
