The Well Tempered Guitarist
One of the questions many students like to ask is, “how do you practice?” Often, aspiring guitarists have ideas of how and what they want to play, but often lack the patience to get there. This workshop for all levels will be a journey through the vast terrain of practicing, and will provide you with many tips to keep you motivated and focused when you sit down to play. We’ll talk basic ideas for including improvising during practice, ways to enhance your accompaniment styles, mindful practice techniques, and last but not least, ways to develop a meaningful relationship with your metronome. Fingerpickers, flatpickers, and questions are welcome.
About Jamie
Over the last decade, Jamie Stillway has been quietly establishing herself as one of the top acoustic fingerstyle guitarists of her generation. In 2018, she released her first electric guitar recordings, the City Static EP, in which Jamie demonstrated the broadening of her compositional palette and her versatility as a musician, seamlessly incorporating ambient, jazz, classical, and pop elements. She has also become an in-demand instructor, having taught at the Healdsburg Guitar Festival, The Swannanoa Gathering, and Peghead Nation’s Advanced Fingerstyle Workshop. Additionally, a transcription of one of Stillway’s compositions was recently published in Acoustic Guitar, and she is a contributing author for the magazine.
