Mandolin Skills: Phrasing and Rhythms
Instructor: Zak Borden
Sun., March 11, 2:45 p.m. - 4:45 p.m., $50 ($90 for both of this instructor’s workshops).
This class will cover what Zak thinks of as the “elephant at the table”, one of the most commonly overlooked skills in learning an instrument: rhythm and timing. In this digital age, when every tab, lick, and new chord is available, we can get distracted away from the simple, strong delivery of a phrase or progression. This workshop is about "how" you play something, not "what". Zak will cover specific strategies for solid, rhythmic delivery to add impact to anything you choose to play. (All levels). www.zakborden.com
