This course provides hands-on experience playing blues rock guitar. We will cover several songs, and in the process learn scales, chords, techniques and stylistic elements common to blues and rock. These include pentatonic and blues scales, power chords, alternate picking, bending, vibrato, hammer-ons, pull-offs, riffs, and structuring of a guitar solo.

*Prerequisite: Ability to switch between basic chords such as A, C, D, E and G comfortably.

Required for the class: A guitar (electric preferred), an electronic tuner, a pick.

Students bringing an electric guitar must also bring a small practice amp (10 watts or less) and a cable.

Gabriel Olin has been teaching popular styles of guitar since 1990. His method focuses on strong foundations, good technique and helping each student become the kind of guitarist they want to be.
