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. Remember, first visit is always free!
Main Presentation: Chuck Scheile
Chuck Schiele: vocals, guitar
John Dancks: bass
Chuck Schiele transplanted himself from the west coast back to CNY where he grew up. He enjoyed a healthy music career in Southern California where he received many accolades, including back-to-back wins in the prestigious San Diego Music Awards. Chuck's music has enjoyed regional, national and international airplay.
John Dancks is another A-List, SAMMY Hall-of-Famer, who's played with countless groups over many years such as The Cadleys, The Down City Ramblers and more.
Chuck says this about the March meeting: “This performance will include work arranged in alternate tunings, fingerstyle technique, and my own percussive way of doing things.”
Break out Sessions:
Rick Read: Strumming techniques for several music genres. Knowledge of sophisticated chords is not necessary. Basic folk/cowboy chords are fine.
Strumming for percussion, fills, and adding spice.
1 Bluegrass/ old-time/ country swing emphasis on the 2 and the 4.
2 Big Band / country swing. both 4/4 and 2/4
3 Big Band /Jazz “Laid back” comping. Use I’ve got Rhythm cliche as example. Again, chords kept simple to engage rookies.
4 Time permitting, I may do short intro into old-time “clawhammer” banjo as it relates to a guitarist contemplating
taking up a second instrument.
p.s. Rick saysd, “Most of the above is far easier than it may sound.”
Don Meixner: TBA
Music reading session with Cindy Griffin: Cindy’s ongoing breakout session continues.
New Open Mike Session: Bob and Sue will have the PA ready for open mike after the main presentation. Here is the deal: After you arrive and check in, see Jim Attle at the mixing board to sign up for a session. You have about 5 minutes to play 2 selections. Those who do not get to play will be at the top of the list for next month.
Please be tuned up and ready to go when Jim calls you up to the stage.
