The Cowichan Folk Guild is presenting a guitar workshop with Ken Hamm.
This course is intended to inspire beginner slide players to the next level. It incorporates open D tuning with an emphasis on finger style techniques like rolls, hammer-ons, pulloffs, slurs, octive climbs, harmonics, and vibrato in single note, doublestop, and full chord moves that are bound to widen the palette of all participants.
We will use examples by both traditional and contemporary slide players, and a booklet of tablature is included for future reference as well as a CD of Ken Hamm that demonstrates the tunes.
=0D=0A=Participants should bring guitar, slide, fingerpicks (suggested) and a recording device if possible.
