In this four part class, instructor Jonathan Palevsky will show us how the first thing that comes to mind when one thinks of the guitar is Spain. Indeed, there is a centuries long tradition of classical guitar music and performers from the Iberian Peninsula. However, the guitar has a long tradition in the United States of America and in fact it would be hard to find a country where this six-string chordophone hasn't made a substantial impression. The guitar is used in every day type of music conceivable from artsiest of art music to the folksiest of folk music with Jazz and Blues stuck somewhere in between. The guitar comes in a mind-bending variety of different shapes, colors and sizes including electric, acoustic, 7 string, 12 string and almost every other number of strings imaginable. Come explore the amazing music and performers of this instrument that has changed the world.
Show and Tell included.
