Class Description

Description Cancellation Policy

Description

The Blues has many dimensions. Our Blues Ensemble is an innovative class that focuses on the Chess Records sound of Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf and others. This sub-genre was never about virtuosic shredding, but featured several electric guitars playing simple, interlocking lines.

This is an ideal entry point into the Blues universe for intermediate players. Participants will experience the challenge and exhilaration of holding down a part in the context of a larger whole. More advanced students will be given ample space to test their improvisation stills.

The Drop-In format of the class allows participants to come on in and join the jam on any week. Get ready for some hands-on training on this earthy, resonant music.

Amps are available in our studio. Students are encouraged to bring their favorite axe, but guitars will be provided if needed.

Note: Classes with low enrollment will be cancelled two days in advance. Be sure to sign up for your favorite classes before then to reserve your spot!


Please note with this purchase you will receive a full 3-month membership which entitles you to scheduling as many available dates as you'd like for your selected course, including access to online classes.

Refund Policy

We have a strict 3 business days cancellation policy and there are no refunds with fewer than 3 business days. There's a 5% non-refundable fee per student.

  • You can withdraw from a class at any time after it begins by notifying us for a one hundred percent credit (not a refund) for future sessions which are scheduled after your drop date.
  • You can use that credit towards any other class session.
  • Please note that you can't get credit for sessions which ran before you contacted us.

Make-up Policy:

There are three great options to go over missed materials.

  • First, every student gets free lifetime access to hundreds of video tutorials and practice sessions, so you can simply take the online version of the session you missed.
  • Secondly, you can drop in on the same session of a different section of your class--for free.
  • Finally, we offer discounted private make-up lessons for students who want to go over their missed class one-on-one.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
