FINGERSYLE & CLASSICAL GUITAR WORKSHOP
Bad Radkersburgwith Crossing Strings: Markus Schlesinger & Carina Maria Linder
3-day workshop for beginners as well as advanced players with classical guitarist and music educator Carina Maria Linder & fingerstyle guitarist Markus Schlesinger. This bridge between seemingly two different styles connects the world of classical music with popular culture and unites the techniques from both styles to expand the guitarist's horizon, regardless of artistic background.
The course is aimed at guitarists who have never come into contact with classical and fingerstyle, as well as those who already have experience in these areas. In this workshop, in a progressive sequence, simple folk accompaniment, arrangements of well-known jazz and pop songs, pieces and techniques in classical as well as Spanish/South American styles, up to groovy compositions in open tunings and percussive techniques will be covered.
Depending on the need, the lessons can be conducted using sheet music as well as tablatures.
