Tom Harkenriders 5:00pm Monday Blues Guitar Skype Class Sign up Thread

[Mark Wein]

This is the place to ask questions about and sign up for Tommy Harkenriders Blues Guitar Skype Class.

The class will be 5pm PST Monday nights starting December 5th - you can find your local time here: http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...7&p1=866&am=30


Each class will have their own private forum in this section of the site where they can get class materials in PDF, mp3 or Guitar Pro formats and it can be used for questions or discussions on that weeks video class between the instructor and students. You can also post recordings of yourself playing the lessons for the instructor to check out. This will be similar to the subscription video classes we also offer in this forum.


Rates for the class are $10 per person per 30 minute class if you pay at the beginning of the month for the whole month. This will also get you a subscription to the class forum. If you just want to attend the classes "one at a time" and not commit to the month the rate is $20 per class and no forum access. I'm trying to work this so that it's an inexpensive way for folks to take the class but not cost me money during time that we can be teaching private students and classes here at Premier Music. Win-win

Students will need to register here on the forum for access to their class forums and sign up for the free version of Skype.

The class forum is set up and Subscriptions are available here: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/payments.php

The class forum is in the MWGL School of Music forum but will only be accessible once you've paid a subscription: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/for...chool-of-Music


We will have a more "verbose" class description soon but Tom will be teaching how to play the guitar in the following styles and feels:



Jump Blues- T-Bone Walker, Pee Wee Crayton, Tiny Grimes, Hollywood Fats and Junior Watson

Lumps (Little Walter, Jimmy Reed Shuffles) Robert Lockwood, Jimmie Rogers, Eddie Taylor

Mambos- Little Milton B.B. King

60's box shuffle- Otis Rush, Magic Sam

Minor - Otis Rush

R&B - Pete Lewis

R&B shuffle - Mickey Baker, Cal Green

2 Beat – in the style of Ike Turner

If you're into Blues, this you gotta take this class. I study with Tommy Tuesday nights. He's a great teacher. Lotsa info, history, hot licks and building blocks to make your own.

I already signed up... I took his online module, and then I won another module on Chicago blues, but was in the process of dealing my dad's death and right in the middle of moving, so I never got to really absorb it...

So, now I am going to actually take organized lessons from real teachers for the first time in my life... Hopefully, it won't mess up my metal wankage...

[paulskirocks]

So, am I the only wanker on this forum that wants to learn some blues?

[reverend1]

Mondays dont work for me.

[Mark Wein]

Have a sneak preview....I'm not done with the actual lesson stuff yet but the video is up:

[paulskirocks]

So, any interest in this, other than from me? Is it still going to happen?

I'd like it to but so far you're the only guy. I'm going to bang the drum on this a bunch in the new week now that Thanksgiving is over.

[sunvalleylaw]

I would do it after I do the class I am signed up for. I can only devote one night a week.

[Mark Wein]

we've had a couple questons about moving the time later since more of the folks who are interested are here on the west coast....what say ye?

[paulskirocks]

I'm open...

[dodgechargerfan]

I'm open to juggling both classes unless you think it might be too much.

I know that's really for me to answer, but I guess I'm looking for a sanity check.

My stuff might actually be pretty complimentary to what Tom is doing actually. Depends on your time.

Okay I signed up

Now I need to figure out the Skype thing

How will I login to the class next Monday?

Send either Tom or myself your Skype ID and we'll send you a contact request...then just be online when its time for the class. We might be moving the time around a little bit so I'll have Tom contact you directly. If you want to I'm doing a trial of the Skype desktop sharing for a recording class tomorrow at 5opm and you can use that as a "soundcheck" or dry run of the technology or we can set one up for you at a more convenient time if you want and are not familiar with how SKype works.

[dodgechargerfan]

I'm in.
It's worth it to try for a month. If I find the two classes are too much for me to handle, I can decide which way to go later on.

[Mark Wein]

I just let Tom know.

[Mark Wein]

Is everyone cool with this class being moved to 8pm on Mondays?

[paulskirocks]

I'll have to pass, as the computer is currently in our bedroom until we move, and due to the fact that around here that is about our bed time...

[Mark Wein]

gotcha....let us work on this.

[paulskirocks]

Listen, if they are recorded, I can always watch a different day at an earlier hour... I don't mind that...

[Mark Wein]

Tom just let me know that we'll keep it at 5pm and the guy who has the time issue we'll work something out with....

[paulskirocks]

OK, then cool...

[Mark Wein]

[dodgechargerfan]

Cool, 'cause that would be midnight here....
If I'm still up at midnight, I'm doing something else.

HI Mark,
I tested my skype install with another friend on Skype and Skype video is working.
Do I need has my camera and audio working on my end for the lessons or cam I just watch and learn?
And will the lessons be recorded as well and made available to us?

Cool! It would be better if you the audio and video on your end worked if you needed to ask a question or demonstrate how you think something goes...you can just watch if you want but it might limit what you're getting from it all. These classes (I don't think) can be recorded via Skype. I'll look into to it and if we can I will try and have them available. Tom will also be posting stuff in your private class forum in the next few days: http://markweinguitarlessons.com/for...ar-Skype-Class

[Mark Wein]

bump! Starts tonight!

[paulskirocks]

[AaronD]

Okay, so I'm signed up....a couple months late, I see, but I'm here now. I've got a skype account. How do I connect with the group on skype? Can anybody answer or point me in the right direction? Thanks.

[Mark Wein]

Welcome! When I saw your subscription I emailed Tom to let him know to contact you...he'll need your skype user name and when it's class time be on Skype and he will invite you to the call!

[paulskirocks]

Right on! More blues blood...

[AaronD]

Thanks fellas.

[Mark Wein]

The classes have been going really well so we're all excited to have new folks around....

[dodgechargerfan]

Excellent!
