Highway to Hell instead of Mary Had A Little Lamb
My 7 year old guitar student comes into the lesson room and asks, "Can we rock today?". In the 25 years I've been teaching guitar to my students,
no child has ever asked me if we can pluck a Bach prelude.
Nowadays, children learn English partly already in kindergarten and at the latest from elementary school and would like to play songs and riffs,
in any case music to which they have a connection.
The blues as the most important influence of popular entertainment music is ideal for this. The guitar, whether electric or acoustic, is one of the main instruments of this roots music.
he wonderful simplicity and freedom to play make the blues for me the very best way to inspire children to play the guitar.
It's time for new ways to teach early instrumental guitar.
- The Blues genre as a foundation for popular music styles
- Playing on single strings, beyond playing in position
- Improvisation
- Articulation techniques such as slides and hammer-ons
- Fingerstyle & Pick
