9-9:30: Welcome, and a few songs led by Motherlode 9:30 - 10:30 - Class #1 Amy Friedricks Rock That Guitar! - We'll play and sing classics from the 60s and 70s including some Beatles, Carole King, Eagles, Tom Petty and other favorites. 10:45- 11:45 - Class #2 Marianne Brogan Ukulele Mishmash - noun: a confused mixture of things. We only know how to have fun! We'll play parts, some easy, some tricky, and if it doesn't quite come together we will never know because it's zoom! 12:30-1:30- Class #3 Nova Devonie Numbers and Letters, Oh No! How does it all add up and what does it spell out for you? A brief dive into scale and chord construction, along with general Q&A about any music theory questions you may have that I might know the answer to! 1:45 -2:45 - Class #4 Laura Silverstein Spiff Up Your Guitar Accompaniment. Learn some cool strumming patterns, licks, and turnarounds applied to blues, folk, and pop styles in standard tuning. We’ll also look at “double dropped D tuning” which gives a nice “drony” sound in songs like “Man of Constant Sorrow.” We'll sing some songs and add some cool little tricks on your guitar to help drive songs and give them a distinctive groove. 3:00 - 5:00 Student concert (20 slots) – email Motherlode@comcast.net if you’d like to sign up to perform. Sunday, Oct. 3. Staff/Motherlode Concert 2:00-4:30 – Because this is a fund raiser for Pilgrim Firs, this concert will be open to the wider music community and we’ll be seeking donations.
