I've decided to start the year off with another "Hits " session with a view to using songs which could turn into good finger pickers for later in the year. It's an eclectic mix of songs from a variety of genres So far I have CRAZY , OVER THE RAINBOW, TRUE LOVE WAYS, DELILAH, DOWN TOWN , WILL YOU STILL LOVE ME TOMORROW, BUS STOP, THE WAY YOU LOOK TONIGHT , KILLING ME SOFTLY  and I'll leave the last couple of sessions open for requests as usual

If you've been with us for any of the previous courses you'll already have a few hits from the Kinks, the Beatles,  the Stones and one or two timeless hits up your guitar playing sleeves. The format is the same, we check out the beat,  the rhythm and strum patterns and chord and lyric sheets are provided. As usual we will branch out into the occasional lead run to link the chords together and talk about any unorthodox chords ( I have plenty of those! ) and alternate ways of playing tricky chords.   You need to know your basic chords and we'll play the songs as a group, sing them, harmonise them, wish them happy new year and place them lovingly into our collective repertoires.
