Registration
opens for the
Pete Kennedy's
Guitar Workshop:
"Six
Techniques that will Improve Your Playing Right Now" - located in Rye NY 11/23/08 noon-4pm
The
six techniques are:
Pete's
daily warmup, focusing on muscle flexibility and independence.
Learning
all the notes on the fretboard.
Using
tone centers to enable you to play in any key, any position.
Using
Pete's "skeleton key" to the modes, to expand your soloing capabilities.
Using
triads to build your own chord forms all over the fretboard.
Using
harmonics to expand the range of the instrument.
There
will, of course, be plenty of time for questions.
This
is Pete's only seminar in Westchester this year, so the twelve open
slots are expected to fill up quickly.
The
location is near Rye Playland, a couple of minutes off of I-95.
Tuition
is $80 for four hours, noon to four. Bring an acoustic guitar and, if
you wish, a small recording device.

Voices, Other Rooms" cd),
and Mary-Chapin Carpenter, and he's played in bands with a number
of
instrumental greats including Danny Gatton,
Mike Auldridge,
Buddy
Emmons, and jazz legend Charlie Byrd. He's played with acts ranging
from
bluesman SunnylandSlim
to
the National Symphony, and has performed at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert
Hall, The Tonight Show, and lots of little clubs. His teachers
include the
legendary Joe Pass and Johnny Smith, as well as
Larry Snitzler,
a noted Segovia protege.
He's received over fifty Wammie awards
from the Washington Area Music Association, taught for five years at
