Default Fingerpicking Chicago Blues - a new workshop from Toby Walker

Hi Folks,

On June 24th - the 27th I'll be teaching a very special course called:

Sweet Home Chicago - Hot, Chicago style blues for acoustic, fingerpicking guitar with ALL the trimmings.

I’ll be showing you unique shuffles, turnarounds, endings, intros, chords, double stops, improvisational techniques and even cool, accompanying bass lines. We’ll put every one of these to use while learning songs by Muddy Waters, Howling Wolf, Elmore James, Big Bill Broonzy, Hubert Sumlin, Willie Dixon and much more. I’ll even throw in some fingerpicking, solo arrangements of classic, Chicago blues tunes while showing you how to arrange your own. By the end of this course you’ll have all the groundwork you’ll need to either play solo or stand out in a jam.

Extra, Extra, Extra: instructional videos and tab included!!! All of the materials covered in my class will also be available to you on a hidden page on my web site which you can download and study in your spare time at your own pace. Plus, each student will have their own, private one-on-one lesson with me during the weekend.
