Biréli Lagrène jazz guitar workshop (with John Wheatcroft)

What to expect:

This workshop is hosted by acclaimed Gypsy Jazz guitarist John Wheatcroft.

Note: Biréli will be teaching with John for two hours only.

Schedule

Part 1 - warm-up / technique class with John (10am - 12pm)

In John’s morning session, we’ll be taking a detailed look at a range of techniques, concepts, lines and approaches taken directly from Biréli's incredible playing style. In these interactive but informal sessions (bring your guitar!) we’ll also be looking at some of the differences as well as the similarities across Biréli's broad range of styles.

Lunch break / practice time

Part 2 - workshop with John and Biréli (1.30pm - 3.30pm)

For Biréli's afternoon session, you’ll get the opportunity to see and hear him apply all these ideas and more up close and you can ask him questions directly about his personal approach to playing. Again, this session will be highly interactive, dynamic and packed with ideas, information and inspiration.
