More Infos
This offered Masterclass is an very intense weekend-workshop of twice 8 hours (1 hour break at noon). In this intense workshop all the important basics of the Gypsyjazz guitar playing is beeing explained and practised with lots of examples and tunes.
The masterclass is dedicated to advanced players with at least()! 5-6 years of experience. Basic knowledge of harmonics and Jazztheory is a plus, but not obliged. The course is NOT recommended for beginners of the guitar, as many play-techniques will be presented and practised in a fast manner, which assumes a good and safe experience on the guitar already. Real beginners of guitar may apply for a personal online-lesson with me here.
Printed course material will be given out at beginning of the masterclass. We will have 2 short breaks (of 15 min. in morning and afternoon), as well as a 1 hour break for lunch around noon time, which can be joined by all participants (no must to join in!).
At the end of each course day we will held a short FAQ round, where all participants may ask and get answered their open questions of the day. In the final we will have a short jam-session with all the tunes we practised over the day.
The masterclass starts at 10 a.m. in the morning on saturdays, 11 a.m. at sundays and last until aprox. 6 p.m. in the afternoon of each course day.
