"This has opened up a new window in my musical education"
Participant
The workshop started with students retuning their guitars to an open tuning, and then getting to grips with all of the new opportunities at their fingertips. Gavin led the group through different approaches to accompanying songs and sessions, demonstrating the exciting ways that open tuning can be used. Guitarists went on to learn to play a melody and accompany each other using melodic and chordal techniques as well as exploring easy ways to accompany themselves and others when singing or playing in sessions.
"Excellent, clear, engaging and interesting!"
