Hi, all,
Wanted to give you a heads up about
an excellent workshop taking place at the end of July.
One of the instructor is Thomas Clippert. I've taken a number of fingerstyle guitar classes from him over the years, mainly through
Oakton Community College just outside of Chicago. He's really helped me with my fingering — on the left and right hand — and helped me improve my overall technique. Great guy, great mentor.
He and his good friend Matthew Schroeder run the
Fingerstyle Guitar Workshop at Interlochen Center for the Arts in northern Michigan. It's worth checking out. This year they have Thom Bresh and Pat Donohue joining them.
If I go this year, I may try convincing Pat Donohue to get me started on "Hard Times," one of my favorite fingerstyle songs ever.
Cheers,
Matt
