![]() Exploring the Fretboard – Lead Guitar and Songwriting (Intermediate/Advanced).Alternative Songwriting Techniques (Intermediate).Strumming & Finger Picking Patterns (Beginner).I am honored to be offering three guitar workshops throughout the week…. Previous lineups have included Lyle Lovett, John Prine, John Hiatt, Jason Isbell, Bruce Hornsby and The Wood Brothers. This year’s lineup includes Emmylou Harris, Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Shawn Mullins, Jim Lauderdale, North Mississippi Allstars and more. Each one of their cruises has a different theme and Cayamo has been dubbed the “singer-songwriter” cruise. Since first hearing about Sixthman, I have always had my eye on Cayamo. Sixthman has been creating music festivals at sea since 2001 and I first attended one of their cruises playing guitar for Eric Dodd in 2010 on Zac Brown’s Sailing Southern Ground Cruise. Cayamo is one of many music festivals at sea organized by Atlanta based production company Sixthman. In a few weeks I will be embarking on my first Cayamo cruise. Thank you to our neighborhood pub, The Pullman for hosting! So keep learning, keep shedding and keep performing! To quote Zachary Poulter in Teaching Improv in your Jazz Ensemble, these “experiences prepare students for a world of increasing ambiguity by enabling them to confront and transcend uncertainty.” Every time you get up on stage to perform, you are one step closer to becoming a better musician and a better human. How do you pick yourself up and move forward? Most of the time, the audience is unaware of a mistake and the only time they notice is when the performer makes it obvious. In my private lessons, a lot of what we work on is how to recover from these mishaps. ![]() How we deal with these unexpected outcomes is up to us. Several internal and external distractions have the ability to derail any performance. A musical mistake or error can be defined as a difference between the intended and actual musical outcome. It takes courage to get up in front of an audience and perform. By performing regularly, you are able to diminish performance anxiety and grow exponentially as a musician.īig thanks to all of the performers and attendees at our first Student Showcase! Piano, guitar, violin, voice and ukulele were all represented along with a variety of age groups. There is much to be learned from the performance process and a variety of internal and external factors can affect your desired outcome. Make sure to use all aspects of your playing as a tool to keep your ego in check. It takes some effort to be able to objectively view both the positive and negative aspects of your performance. I encourage you to treat each performance as a unique learning opportunity and treat them objectively. All of our Guitar Shedders played beautifully! Thank you for having the courage to perform in front of a live audience. Keep an eye out for more performance opportunities in addition to these soon!Īt our Fall Student Showcase this past weekend we had some first time performers as well as seasoned veterans. We have a Spring and Fall Student Showcase as well as a Summer and Winter Recital. Great job in the Fall Student Showcase at The Pullman everyone! At Guitar Shed there is a performance opportunity for each season.
