Folk Guitar Lessons
Like the blues, folk guitar lessons help the student to tame the complex beast that is folk with its many varied styles and techniques. Drawing from an almost unlimited source of material spanning hundreds of years and several continents Teach Guitar Preston can offer you the student an incredible journey through the music of England, Scotland, Ireland and the USA.
From beautiful transcriptions of music by O Carolan or the Border Ballads and Celtic Traditional to the guitar styles and finger-style techniques of Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and James Taylor. I learned directly from some of the masters of English Folk Guitar when I worked the Folk Circuit and gigged with Michael Chapman, John Martyn, Bert Jansch, John Renbourn and Steve Tilston.
We can teach you:
- Alternate tunings,
- Finger picking styles,
- Strumming techniques,
- Capo key techniques – to allow for integrating your playing with other players to get an alternate sound.
- Expression and access to a library of source material – not just printed but audio as well.
Anyone interested in learning contemporary folk acoustic guitar stylings and mastering picking techniques that made Nick Drake or Michael Chapman so unique then you need to book a folk guitar lesson or two with Teach Guitar Preston.
