FINGER STYLE & CLASSICAL GUITAR WORKSHOP
 with Crossing Strings: Markus Schlesinger & Carina Maria Linder

 A little info in advance:
 For this workshop you only pay the workshop fee. You must book your accommodation yourself.

 Description
 3-day workshop for beginners and advanced players with classical guitarist and instrumental teacher Carina Maria Linder & fingerstyle guitarist Markus Schlesinger. This bridging of two seemingly different styles connects the world of classical music with popular culture and combines the techniques from both styles to broaden the guitarist's horizons, regardless of artistic background.
 The course is aimed at guitarists who have never come into contact with classical and fingerstyle music, as well as those who already have experience in these areas. In this workshop, simple folk accompaniment, arrangements of well-known jazz and pop songs, pieces and techniques in classical and Spanish/South American style, groovy compositions in open tunings and percussive techniques are covered in a progressive order.
 Depending on your needs, lessons can be given using sheet music or tablatures.

 This course is suitable
 for all those interested in classical and fingerstyle
 for guitarists who already have experience in classical and fingerstyle and want to expand their knowledge in this area
 but also for those who come from the areas of accompanying guitar, classical or jazz and would like to get a taste of the world of the plucked guitar.

 Learning goals:
 - Independent playing of bass and melody
 - Playing with alternating bass and muted strings
 - Developing common accompaniment picking patterns and expanding them to include melodic elements
 - Incorporating percussive techniques (click, slap, bass drum, backbeat)
 - Insight into the popular techniques of tremolo & rasgueado
 - Introduction to open moods and the resulting benefits
 - Treatment of technical basics & questions
 - Arrangement
 - Pulse, meter & metronome
