Am kommenden Samstag (3.4.) ist Tad Robinson der Gast in Dennis Gruenlings wöchentlichem Webinar. Dennis schreibt:

TAD ROBINSON - Originally from the East Coast, Tad Robinson relocated first to Indiana and then to Chicago where he became the lead vocalist for Dave Specter and The Bluebirds. Word spread fast of this soulful vocalist, who could also play a mean harp. Many solo albums followed suit and Tad became a recognized name on the International Blues circuit, performing at clubs, concerts and festivals worldwide.

It takes just one listen to hear the soul and feeling that Tad puts into his singing, and his harp playing is no different. Often recognized as one of the best soul-blues singers on the scene, Tad will join me this Saturday for an in-depth look at his influences, his harp playing approach, his career, and thoughts on all things Harp, Blues & Soul related!


TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:

Beginnings in NYC and Indiana
Relocating to Chicago and First Recordings
Understanding the Blues Harp Vocabulary
Influences from all Styles of Blues Music
Favorite Stylists in Soul Blues & Chicago Blues
Best Practice Tips
...plus MORE and all of YOUR questions...

Nähere Infos ... ihr wisst Bescheid.

Schöne Grüße

Auch an diesem Samstag hat Dennis Gruenling wieder einen interessanten Gast eingeladen: John Hammond.
Ich hatte das Vergnügen, John Hammond im Sommer 1990 im Hammersmith Odeon als Vorprogramm zum Konzert von John Lee Hooker zu erleben, mit dem er später natürlich auch zusammen auf der Bühne stand.

JOHN HAMMOND - Get ready for a very special webinar this week! It’s truly an honor to have as my special guest someone who has been a treasure on the blues scene for decades…John Hammond. Since the early 1960’s John Hammond has not only been making records, but widely acclaimed recordings respected by his peers and heroes alike, and has had literally a Who’s Who of many of the most important Blues-Roots musicians record and/or perform with him.

However, what makes John so great, is just John. Truly a force of nature to watch as he performs, he has carried on the traditional of a solo blues performer with a sense of sincerity, taste, style, virtuosity, and coolness that most musicians barely hint at nowadays. Please join us for this unique Q&A conversation with a true legend on the Blues scene, and hear all about his early influences, heroes, career highlights, musical approach, and so much more. Reserve your spot early for this one!!

John RARELY does this type of thing online, so please tune in to this VERY SPECIAL WEBINAR!

TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:

Beginnings in the Blues
Performing & Recording from the 1960's on
Biggest Blues and Harmonica Influences
The Energy of the Blues
Finding your Own Voice in a Traditional Genre

Alle wichtigen Informationen findet ihr - wie immer - auf Dennis' Webseite.

In dieser Woche mal kein Gast. Dafür geht es um das Solospiel über den I-Akkord:

I-CHORD SOLOING - On this week’s Q&A Webinar we will be talking about a topic that I bring up a lot and always get more questions about…soloing on the I Chord. I will walk you through different practice ideas for ALL levels of abilities from beginning soloist to advanced, and demonstrate lots of ideas to work on. In addition to this, I will also be breaking down some licks and riffs from some of the coolest classic Blues Harp solos that were just on the I chord, from the likes of Little Walter, Big Walter, and others.

Soloing on the I chord can not only be exciting and freeing, but also scary when you don’t know where to go or what to do. However, it is truly the best way to develop a bigger vocabulary and keep your ideas and phrasing fresh. Join me for this Study Session on I-Chord Soloing this week, and bring all your questions!


TOPICS TO BE DISCUSSED:

How To Start Practicing This
Developing New Ideas
Practice Suggestions for ALL Levels
How To NOT Get Stuck
Demonstrations of What & How to Practice
Breaking Down Classic Little Walter Phrases
Breaking Down Classic Big Walter Phrases

Näheres wie immer bei Dennis.
