Note from the Commish:
Please consider bringing other people to Guitar League meetings. They do not need to be guitar players. People often just come for the music. The first visit is always free! (Then just $10 for non-members.)
Main Presentation: Kinlock Nelson (pronounced, kin-law)
Kinloch was a main presenter back during our first year. A very accomplished player from Rochester, he opened for Tommy Emmanuel in Rochester the first time Guitar League ran Tommy “around the bases,” i.e. shows in Syracuse, Rochester and Ithaca, with the Sherwood Inn in Skaneateles being “home base.”
Kinloch’s presentation will be, in his words:
PATHWAYS TO MELODY:
An approach to fingerboard study through the playing of melody:
first on one string, then on multiple strings, then in the context of chords and scales.
Tricks and tools to be touched on will include:
Note redundancy and octave grids.
Points of reference (root strings, target notes etc)
Keys and chord components and shapes - some work better than others.
Melody by numbers; solfege; "follow the bouncing ball."
Bring a guitar. Be in tune. We'll take some time outlining this approach and then work through several exercises and tunes together.
You will need to have your guitars out and ready to play during this presentation.
Break out Sessions:
Rookies: Bob Lewis, Two Chord Harmony, follow up session
Owing to popular demand, Bob will do a follow-up session on two chord songs. He had a good sized group in there last month, and they (and others who could not be there,) want more. You do not have to have been there last month. So whether you were in the session last month or not consider attending. Notice: Bob uses big words, ones worth up to $20 and beyond. He was exceedingly demonstrative in his unequivocal utterance.
Players of Any Level: Loren Barrigar. Play a song with Loren.
Very popular session over the years, many have “played a song with Loren,” where he plays leads over your chords, or he plays rhythm behind your singing, etc. Loren also has frequent suggestions for things you can do with your song, and how you can improve on it.
