Join this hybrid guitar class to play and sing the songs of singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt! Over the seven-week course, we will look at songs from throughout his storied career, hopefully making it through two songs per class. We will explore the full spectrum of songs he composed, from his blues to his ballads, his mournful tunes to his upbeat rompers, and a humorous song or two. Albums we will draw songs from include For the Sake of the Song, Our Mother the Mountain, Delta Momma Blues, The Late Great Townes Van Zandt, Flyin' Shoes, and more. This class will feature both flat- and fingerpicking on the guitar.
Prerequisites:
Guitar 3, or equivalent experience singing and playing guitar.
This is an adult class open to students aged 13 and up.
