Kent Hillman Introduction to Finger Style Technique(I) This course will introduce finger picking using solid technical principles that can later apply to classical, folk, country or jazz. Emphasis will be on troubleshooting problems as they arise, relaxation and avoiding injury. Finger Style Jazz Options (I/A) For fingerstyle players already exploring alternating patterns, this course provides a survey of some finger style jazz tools for incorporation into your own arrangements. Traditional chord melody approaches will be discussed and "spiced up" with some artificial harmonics, walking bass line ideas and tri-tone comping a la Lenny Breau.
