Also known as fingerstyle playing, plucking the individual strings gives a completely different feel from strumming as accompaniment. To play the riffs that often define a song, you will need to know how to pick and pluck and how to read tabs and notations.
To get the material and attend this session, please RSVP and pay event host $30 via Venmo @analyticalq or Zelle by e-mail or Paypal ($31.50 - option US dollars) by e-mail.
This is a unique opportunity to play music in what was the oldest chocolate factory in America. The Walter Baker Building is home to working artists. The Common Room contains a temporary exhibit launched from the annual Holiday Stroll. See Chronicle TV video: https://youtu.be/NSgAUwHYOa4
