Gospel Vocal Technique Workshop
The church is where it all starts. I'll teach you to sing from the diaphragm, to bend notes, to build from a whisper to a scream that fills the room. Gospel technique is the foundation of all American popular music. If you can sing gospel, you can sing anything.
Reggae Guitar Workshop -- The Offbeat Skank
The strum that changed the world hits on the upbeat. That's it. That's the secret. But making it groove -- that's what we'll work on. I'll teach you the skank, the one-drop rhythm, and how to make three chords feel like freedom.
Songwriting Workshop -- Eighty Drafts of Hallelujah
I'll teach you to rewrite. And rewrite. And rewrite. Hallelujah took eighty drafts. That's not failure. That's craft. We start with a feeling, turn it into an image, then carve it into a verse. Bring patience. This is a slow art.
Open Tuning Guitar Workshop -- Beyond Standard
I play in fifty different tunings because standard tuning bored me. I'll teach you DADGAD, open D, open C, and my own tunings that don't have names. Different tunings make the guitar a different instrument. One guitar, fifty voices.
Afrobeat Rhythm Workshop -- 45 Minutes of Groove
Afrobeat songs last forty-five minutes because that's how long it takes to reach transcendence. I'll teach you the interlocking rhythms -- drums, percussion, bass, guitar, horns -- that create the groove. Everyone plays a pattern. Nobody plays the whole thing. Together, you are unstoppable.
Modal Jazz Workshop -- Less is Everything
Kind of Blue used two scales for the entire album. Two. I'll teach you to improvise using modes instead of chord changes. Freedom through limitation. When you only have two colors, you learn to paint everything.
Rock Guitar Riff Workshop -- The Foundations
I invented the rock guitar riff. I'll teach you the first ten. By the end of the session you'll play Johnny B. Goode, Roll Over Beethoven, and Rock and Roll Music. These are the DNA of every rock song that followed.
