Item Description

Robert Mearns, father of 4th grader Ava, is offering two in depth one hour classes teaching the foundations of "Blues" guitar. Learn scales, chord voicings and signature blues licks as Robert takes you for an intimate look at the styles of Lightning Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy and Muddy Waters while digging down into the "Blues" in the Key of E. The second one hour class will jump into the "Blues" in the Key of A as Robert explores the styles of Robert Johnson, John Lee Hooker and Jimmy Reed.
 
A must for any wannabe "Blues" player, serious rock musician or Dad who wants to sound like Stevie Ray Vaughan. No age restriction, but winner should have basic guitar ability. Lesson will be taught in West Hollywood.
 
A self taught musician, Robert made a name for himself in the late-night juke-joints of South Central LA where he was affectionately called "Robert Blues Guitar." He has played with the likes of Barbara Morrison, the legendary Mickey Champion, Sonny Green, Smokey Wilson and Phillip Walker as well as fronting his own band The Black Shadows.
 
"It's all about feeling", Robert says. "But you have to listen too. A musician is only as good as the people he's heard. You have to know the guys who came before you. There's no other way."
