Raise the Level of Your Songwriting and Guitar Accompaniment (oakland north temescal)
Time to get beyond the ole strum strum in your songs
Are you a songwriter who is ready to learn to sing and play in a way that connects more strongly with your audience? I can add a fresh set of ears to the songs you are writing and to the accompaniment you are playing on guitar.
Maybe you've heard about alternate tunings but haven't had time to actually try one out. I can make suggestions that will help take you into a new realm of playing that strongly supports the emotion you are going for in a song. I can also help you improve your songwriting and performance even if you don't play guitar.
I will listen to what you are already doing and give constructive feedback and offer rhythmic and harmonic suggestions that will bring your performance to a new level. Lessons will take place in my North Oakland recording studio, and can be recorded for you.
i can also help with your acoustic/electric guitar sound as i have tried many of the available options and developed a good working knowledge of them.
