Sweet home Chicago is not just the home of the blues….we dominated the
beginnings of Gospel music in the 1920’s, and Gospel remains vibrant in Chicago
today. Incorporating elements of spirituals and
blues, the Gospel style formed the roots of early Rock ‘n Roll. Artists such as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Little
Richard and Elvis Presley all built on this style.
Guitar fingerstyle arrangements really highlight the bluesey feel and
strong melodies of Gospel songs such as Milky
White Way and Mansion Over the
Hilltop. We’ll learn a couple of instrumentals
where we blend the melody, rhythm and chords together to give a full sound. Blaise will guide you through each song
emphasizing technique, style and tips; all following tab notation. If you aren’t a singer, but just want to build
your guitar skills…this is for you. For
intermediate or advanced fingerstyle players who want to expand their
repertoire.
