One of the main bonuses of courses with MusicGurus is the industry professionals who are deployed to guide you on your journey of exploration no matter which course it is you undertake. With MusicGurus Learn Three Classic Boogie-Woogie Songs the lessons are eloquently presented by one of the world's leading blues and rock 'n' roll pianists and award-winner, Paddy Milner. Throughout the 35 episodes Paddy draws on his experience and years of service in the industry playing with artists like Jack Bruce and Sir Tom Jones, to explain the characteristics of the genre and really pushes you to innovate and craft your own ideas within Boogie-Woogie to fully cement the techniques and theories presented.
Along-side the 2 hours and 23 minutes worth of video content recorded, Paddy has also provided downloadable PDFs and transcriptions of key aspects that you will explore in the lessons. They are completely free and will allow you to have something to practice even when you're done with the video aspect of the course, or are just taking some time to absorb the information you have been given.
When taking up any instrument, the most efficient way to learn is through exercises and then putting them into practice in the context of songs that use the same techniques. MusicGurus Learn Three Classic Boogie-Woogie Songs does this by teaching you songs by three of the greatest Boogie-Woogie artists of all time, Pete Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis and Pinetop Smith. Across the course of 35 lessons the techniques you will learn are broken down by Paddy in the form of three popular songs, 'Dive Bomber', 'Honky Tonk Train Blues' and 'Pinetop's Boogie Woogie'. By doing this, you will learn all about the characteristics of the genre and understand different performance techniques that give Boogie-Woogie its classic sound and also have a portfolio of 3 songs that you will not only be able to play but be able to fully understand how and why they are songs that define a genre and style.
There is nothing worse than the feeling of being rushed when trying to learn and understand something as deep and complex as music, after all, everyone takes on information at different rates and sometimes online learning platforms provide limited-time-only licenses and subscription services that pressure you into further purchases and more expensive subscription periods. Well, MusicGuru has changed that as with their courses not only do you get the wealth of knowledge from in-the-industry professionals, but you also get lifelong access to your course and all the downloads that come with it. This means you can take the course at your own pace. You'll be able to dip in and out when you please and if you ever feel you need a refresher you can come back to MusicGuru without the need for any further purchases.
MusicGuru can also boast difficulty ratings so you know what you're getting into and advanced video features for the lessons, so if you want to take it back and hear the excerpt again but at a bit of a slower speed, you can! Being compatible with phones, tablets and desktops, you'll be able to learn when you want, where you want, whether that be in front of your instrument at home or just to pass the time whilst commuting on the train, MusicGuru design the courses to work around you, whatever your lifestyle.
