- Blues Guitar Improvisation
-
Fee: $137.00
Dates: 5/6/2026 - 5/20/2026
Times: 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
Days: W
Sessions: 3
Building: Community Outreach Center
Room: Classroom
Instructor: Ned Evett
This workshop focuses on the essential skills every blues player needs: phrasing, bending and vibrato, call-and-response, groove, and building strong, musical solos. Ned will demonstrate clear, usable concepts that help players move beyond memorized licks toward confident, expressive improvisation. Guitarists will leave with tools they can apply immediately—whether on stage, at a jam, or in the practice room.
Ideal for intermediate and advancing players, but open to anyone serious about improving their blues vocabulary and musical instincts. Students must have a guitar and small practice amp.
