In Addition
Finger Style Guitar Clinic with Frank Fotusky
Date Saturday: October 10th
​Time: 4:00pm - 6:00 pm
Cost: $50 (price of workshop includes show)

Join Frank for an afternoon guitar workshop and an evening performance. The beginning of the workshop will focus on often overlooked fundamentals. Addressing these issues will help build a strong foundation on the guitar. Topics will include Left/Right Hand positions; holding the guitar to get the best tone and dynamics; breakdown of fundamental chord shapes and applying them across the fretboard; fingerpicking approaches to build independence between thumb and fingers; back picking upstrokes with thumb.
The second half will explore techniques, grooves and runs using archetypal songs and how they're applied throughout the Blues canon. The focus will be mainly the key of C with references to D, E & A (with songs from Julius Daniels, Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake and more).
Notepad and recorder recommended.
