LICK*TIONARY - The Songwriter's Guide To Great Guitar! - DVD
After years of giving private lessons and regional
workshops, Denny has condensed the best of his teaching techniques
into a 2-disc, 3 hr. DVD, “LICK*TIONARY - The Songwriters Guide To
Great Guitar!” - a street smart, power packed video designed to help
songwriters (or people who just love to play their favorite classic
songs) build a “Technique Toolbox” of Hot Licks, Cool Tricks, &
Great Grooves. He has given live “LICK*TIONARY” workshops for
Nashville Songwriters Assoc. Int’l, Tennessee Songwriters Assoc.,
and The National Guitar Workshop.
Private lessons and one-on-one workshops are
available in the Nashville area.
SONGWRITERS
The guitar’s more than just an instrument - it should be
your co-writer , constantly helping you create new
melodies, rhythms, and arrangements.
By breaking down the techniques of classic
singer-songwriters, Denny teaches you how to play “out
of the box” and make your guitar sound like a whole
band!
Topics include Classic Chord Progressions & Rhythms
Grooves, Fingerstyle, Moving Bass Lines, “Sexy” Scales,
Playing Lead, “Power” Chords, Muting, .... & More!
Beginners to Advanced - even if you DON’T play, this is
a great chance to learn how to better communicate with
your co-writers and session musicians.
WORKSHOPS
I am available for private and group seminars on guitar playing
and songwriting. E-mail me for information about starting one in
your area.
BEGINNERS
Learning the guitar is a life long process. But too many people
begin lessons, only to become frustrated by scales, sight reading,
and theory. They become overwhelmed by the time obligation and the
helpless feeling of, "I could never be as good as him" , and drop
out. There's no substitute for practice, but practice is more fun if
you're MAKING MUSIC while you learn!
That's why from the first lesson, you'll learn to apply basic
chords, strums, and fingerpicking patterns to some of your favorite
songs. By building up a database of songs that are fun to play and
sing, you develop your ability to play "by ear" and accelerate your
learning curve!
