Handmade at Home - A Virtual Workshop Series

Old Time Guitar in "C" Position with Rachel Eddy

In this workshop, we will be looking at several aspects of playing in the C shape. We'll start by going through the bass runs, and which fingers to use for the best economy of motion. I would like to offer some ideas on how to approach the F chord, including good mechanics that create less strain on your hand and offer easier access to whatever comes next! We will use a familiar tune/song to work through all the ideas and hopefully give you new tools to improve your guitar playing.
