I am a part of the 1% of the population that has ‘Chromesthesia’. I experience a synesthetic response that filters my mind with colours that closely relate to the music I hear. From this experience, my paintings allude to the sounds and emotions stimulated by this phenomenon.

Guitar & Banjo Workshops with Ryan McNally (on tour from the Yukon)

Tickets: $20 for one OR $30 for both. To register, email Devora at: wayoutwest.booking@gmail.com

Finger Style Blues, Ragtime and Folk Guitar (7-8pm)
This workshop will cover the basics of finger style guitar where you are playing rhythm or a bass line with you thumb while playing melody with your index and middle finger. There’s definitely a right and wrong way to do it and getting started the right way can make it a lot easier down the road. For beginners we will start with focusing on playing the alternating thumb bass. Then if every one is getting that we will add simple melodies to the bass.For folks who are a bit more advanced we will jump right into learning a song. I will teach a few specific pieces that will feature different techniques you will be able to add to other tunes along the way. Some of these techniques will include rolling thumb bass, poly rhythm bass and how to come up with a basic solo while playing the bass line at the same time. All these things can apply to blues, ragtime, jazz and country guitar.

Claw Hammer and 3 Finger Old Time Style Banjo (8:15-9:15pm)
I really love the banjo because I think the rules are a lot more wide open. There’s really no set way that you are supposed to play a tune. Though, there are specific stylistic techniques that are important to learn. You can go pretty deep into one style, but what I really love is playing both claw hammer and 3 finger style and mixing the two in each tune. So, this workshop is very open to many interests. If you already play claw hammer style and want to get into 3 finger, then we’ll focus on that for you. Or vise versa if you play 3 finger style banjo but want to frail as well, then you can focus on that.During the workshop I will divide the class into which style each person wants to learn and I will teach the same tune in the 2 different styles.For beginners I will take time to give small exercises that will help you pick up the style a little faster.For experienced players I will add small techniques that you can add to give more drive and variation to the tune.
