WORKSHOP DETAILS

In this introductory workshop we will be learning to play traditional Celtic melodies (tunes) on the acoustic guitar. We will be in Standard Tuning, playing with a plectrum (flatpick), and learning as a group a variety of popular session tunes including airs, reels, and jigs.

Primarily the guitar has been used as an accompaniment instrument in Celtic music providing a rhythmic and harmonic back-up and support for melody players (fiddle, whistle, pipes, mandolin). With Celtic Flatpicking Guitar we are now going to join in and share taking the lead as one of the melody (tune) players.

This workshop is aimed at adult guitar players who have been playing for three or more years and are comfortable with basic lead playing. And also for more advanced guitar players who are new to playing Celtic Flatpicking Guitar or traditional Celtic music and would love a helpful introduction into playing this beautiful, traditional and fun music!

*Get in touch if you are unsure if you are at the right level for the workshop.

It was Comrie night last Thursday at the folk club and a very special thanks to The Erratics for a great night's musical entertainment. A big crowd were treated to a mix of traditional tunes played courtesy of Rod Paul's expertise on his 1927 Gibson Mandolin and the sensitive songwriting of guitar player and singer Colin Roxburgh. Both were ably backed up by the solid, deep rhythm vibes of Robin Spearing on double bass. We even had a Grateful Dead cover and a friend of the band performing lovely backing vocals. Special thanks also to John Paul Mason for a fantastic opening set featuring Cathy Tillbrook grooving on cello. Well done to all who made the effort to come along and support live music in Crieff.
