L’il Rev Workshop: Crucial Chord Progressions
L’il Rev is back! One of our favorite teacher/performers is returning in the Burgh to teach us “Crucial Chord Progressions”!
Crucial Chord Progressions is a multi-faceted class that teaches: Chord Knowledge improvement (open and moveable), parody songwriting, strum-hand techniques, rock n blues rhythms, how to recognize common chord cycles, playing by ear, chunking on the 2 & 4, and much more! A hefty PDF is provided and I’ll send this onto those signed up. We end the class by making a video together of all of us playing a simple tune together that'll be posted to my you tube channel.
The cost of the workshop is $35pp. RSVP here but to pay, you must register on Eventbrite and pay online HERE. If you would prefer to pay cash or check, you can give it to Kathy, Sunny or Amber at one of our jams or pay at the door. If you are paying cash, PLEASE email Sunny that you intend to do this so we can have an accurate headcount beforehand!
