Main Presentation: Irv Lyons
One night Bruce Wood, long time GL member and breakout presenter extraordinaire, contacted me after playing at an open mike at the Movie Tavern in Camillus. Said he had met Irv Lyons there and that he would be a good choice as a main presenter. When Bruce tells me stuff I listen. Probably why I am not in jail ever.
We contacted Irv’s agent, Kimberly Rossi of Indigo and were able to book Irv for the May meeting
Irv Lyons Jr. is a talented vocalist and guitar player with a distinctive sound rooted in Latin influenced jazz and straight ahead country and blues. Irv is a major contributor of original material for his other band The Ripcords including straight ahead blues, instrumentals, Latin, and roots rockers. Irv won a SAMMY with The Fabulous Ripcords for best Americana CD in 2010 and has been nominated for a NAMMY (Native American Music Award) for both his solo career and with The Ripcords. Between both groups, Irv has four albums of original music.
Irv plans to speak about his influences, chord formation, scales, writing and riffing. He will demonstrate and perform on a traditionally strung righty guitar, flipped around and upside down as a left-handed guitar player.
Looking forward to a fun and informative evening with Irv!
Breakout Session - Rookies:
Bob Lewis - Two Chord Harmony
The first song I ever played in front of an audience (a Guitar League audience, as a matter of fact), Factory Girl by the Stones, has only two chords. I've since found a plethora of songs made up of two chords. We will review a couple of resources to two-chord songs and will work through a few familiar songs using just two chords.
Bob Lewis, the 2nd "oldest" GL rookie (after Jim Horsman)
(Note: Bob knows lots of $20 words like “plethora”)
Breakout for Minors TBA
