Howdy, guitar players!!
STUDENT PERFORMANCE: Next recital will be in August - detail soon!
Remember EVERY Second Sunday is our open mic!!
SONGWRITING SERIES: As of this writing, I have 13 lesson articles in the new "Sonic Sorcery" songwriting series, which you can access HERE. Unlike the songwriting workshops, we're deconstructing individual songs to look at chord progressions, forms, lyrics, and more. ALSO in the works: the new 8-week songwriting class video series!
SD MAGAZINE: The songwriting series mentioned above is not all at SD Magazine. We also have 80+ articles from the "Guitar Gods" interview series (unknown gurus to Grammy Award winners), music reviews, art & photography, and more!
WEB RESOURCES: If you haven't already, please sign up as a member at the SDML membership page so you will have access to all the material we offer.
TUITION: Those students signed up with me, I do all invoicing via SQUARE, but if you prefer you can use one of the following methods: you can pay with card or Paypal account at my directly link http://www.paypal.me/skinnydevilmusic or Venmo at www.venmo.com/David-McLean-47 ....and I'm told I need to open a BITCOIN wallet, so I suppose I'd better look into that, also (if you have advice there, please let me know)....though I'm told you can use Bitcoin or Etherium via PayPal and Venmo, so if that's your preferred method of payment, that works for me!
ALSO...if you sign up at my PATREON ($5/month), I'm happy to discount your tuition by the same amount.
1) GROUP STUDENTS - INFO on new G1 class ....G4 class is continuing as usual!
Link & password to the entire 8 weeks session is below the schedule....The schedule is as follows:
4pm - G4
5pm - G1
Join Zoom Meetings at:
Meeting ID: 534 396 6529
Password: 949288
2) PRIVATE STUDENTS - The above link should also function for ALL private lessons. You'll simply be directed to the "waiting room" if you log in early.
Each of you should be receiving (via email and/or text) your individual lesson sheets (in some cases with links to doc or video supplements). I'll be sending these weekly, as a general thing, unless we are just reviewing.
If you have NOT received these, please contact me immediately so we can rectify the situation today!
3) SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL - Below are videos that include several song walk-thrus & play-alongs, as well as a drill material. Some of this several of you started on last week. The rest is new material.
All videos are UNLISTED (except where noted), so you have to have the link to access the video.
This page will be up-dated throughout the month with additional material, so check back each week (though I will often be sending notifications).
