Acoustic
Ever popular, acoustic guitar has been the staple of the singer/songwriter tradition for many decades; from Joni Mitchell and James Taylor through to more recent practitioners such as Ed Sheeran and Dodie Clark. Acoustic guitar affords the opportunity to explore various right-hand finger styles, open tunings or chord melody instrumental pieces, or - you may just want to sing some simple songs or decade defining anthems?
Bass
Learn to be part of the rhythm section - it’s you and the drummer that are holding down that groove and getting those heads nodding. Discover the skills and theory that are exclusive to the role of the bass guitarist. Often misunderstood, bass is the musical glue, connecting rhythm and leading the way with harmony. But equally, bass can often come to the fore as the stand out feature of a song as featured by bands such as the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Muse and Royal Blood.
