Get in the Groove!

Group guitar class taught by Joey Weidner

1 hour per week · intermediate

Join me every week for an interactive groove session, and take your playing to the next level. There’s no shortcut to learning an instrument. Like everything in life, you must put in the hard hours in order to see results. It can be frustrating, and more often than not, after a certain point the guitar ends up gathering dust in the corner. The good news is, you don’t have to go it alone anymore. We live in the age of sharing our experiences with the world, and it’s never been easier to find others who share your passion. One of the coolest things I’ve done in recent times is developing this international community of like-minded guitarists. We tune in from all over the world with the same goals in mind; To improve our abilities on the guitar, to deepen our understanding of music, and most importantly, to have fun and enjoy the process. There’s a million free guitar lessons on YouTube... why bother with live lessons? The answer is simple. These are interactive lessons, during which you can ask questions, share your thoughts, and help to guide the class towards the core of your own unique struggles on the instrument. - You are holding yourself accountable to at least 1 hour of practice per week - You are learning with like-minded people who share your passion and goals - You are making a solid commitment to yourself to take your playing to the next level

Hello! I'm a blues guitarist, producer and educator based in West Cork, Ireland. My unique blend of blues, roots, soul, and rock has led me to work with a diverse range of artists and producers from all over the world. In the past 15 years I have gained a wealth of experience as a musician, producer and songwriter. I have been a signed artist, a touring session musician, a studio engineer, and most recently, an avid music educator. I aim to demystify the guitar, and get you grooving ASAP!
What you'll do

Find your Flow

Have you always wanted to groove like John Mayer or Jimi Hendrix, but can’t seem to bridge the gaps in your abilities? Many of my students have the same struggles. They can’t seem to break out of the 'box’. They would do anything to be able to be more fluid on the guitar. That’s where I come in! I will show you how to take what you already know, and fine-tune it into your own unique voice.

Groovin'

The main focus of this class is to play as much guitar as possible. We will work on our time feel and phrasing, and discuss different approaches to rhythm/lead We will: Use a loop pedal to explore cool chord progressions, licks and solos | Use backing tracks to explore different approaches/feels | Study our favourite guitarists' styles and techniques | Learn some of our favourite songs

Triads and the CAGED system

Learn about the best ways to visualise the guitar | How to break the fretboard down into smaller, more manageable chunks | How to link triads, chords, and scales together across the neck | Understanding the relationship between notes, triads, and chord shapes | How to utilise triads and the CAGED system in your blues playing

Rhythm & Lead

The relationship between rhythm and lead guitar, and how to bridge the gap between them | Linking chords together with licks and riffs | Tasty ways to embellish your chords | Developing phrasing and 'feel' | Using chord tones to enhance your lead playing | Mixing major and minor tonalities

You decide!

This class will be guided by student feedback. Want to learn more about open tunings? Or perhaps we could discuss tone, signal chain, and amp settings? Just let me know what you'd like me to discuss!

Who you are
This is mainly an intermediate class. We won't be doing anything too crazy, but it might be challenging if you're a beginner. Prerequisites would be: - You know your 5 root position chord shapes (C A G E D) - You have some basic knowledge of the pentatonic scale - You have some basic knowledge of the notes on the fretboard
What to bring
Your guitar! Electric or Acoustic, it doesn't really matter. A Loop pedal would also be great for your personal practice, but it's not a necessity.

This was a really great class. I really enjoyed Joey's approach, breaking down the songs into their elements and enabling to play at your level - crucially never giving you an end point and allowing you to develop as a guitarist with the song each time you play it. Joey is an engaging, knowledgable and responsive teacher and the classes are always fun.

Wonderful class. There’s a lot to learn from Hendrix - but also a lot to learn from Joey! He is a fantastic musician and teacher. Every lesson is a huge inspiration.

Fantastic class. Joey isn't just teaching Hendrix songs he is teaching his style. He gives you so many ideas to play with for each song that you can easily play them so many different ways just like Hendrix did. Highly recommend this class.

This was the hardest guitar course I’ve ever taken. Joey was excellent at explaining the basics before jumping into the guts of the songs. I’m motivated to keep practicing the songs to get better with them.

Honestly great session. There was nothing I felt like I was missing. I appreciated going over the same topic in several ways several times to get it.
