Interactive Video Masterclass for Acoustic Guitar
British guitar phenomenon Clive Carroll’s masterful compositions, coupled with his versatility and unparalleled technical virtuosity, have rendered him one of today’s most admired and respected guitarists. He has toured the world garnering praise for his sublime performances of everything from 16th and 17th-century lute music to Jazz standards, Blues, Irish reels and his own groundbreaking compositions. Acoustic Magazine sums up his extraordinary musicality, ”Sensational instrumental music that knows no boundaries”.

We’re thrilled to welcome Clive to the family with his first TrueFire course, The Art & Craft of Acoustic Guitar. You will likewise be captivated as you play your way through Clive’s engaging and insightful curriculum for acoustic guitar.

”I’ve been drawn to the art and craft of composing and performing music on the acoustic guitar for my entire life. I’m inspired by a wide variety of genres and their underlying techniques, all of which are fused together to create my own voice on this instrument. Music and education are of central importance to me and I’m always open to sharing with others who are passionate about the guitar.”

Clive organized the course into five sections. Each section is focused on a set of creative approaches and key techniques that you’ll find useful when composing or performing on the acoustic guitar. You’ll first play through a series of etudes to help you get a grip on them. And then, Clive will perform and breakdown an original tune of his to illustrate how those approaches and techniques can be applied.

”The five original tunes cover a broad range of styles. We’ll play Montreal Rag, a piece in the classic American rag style. Promise of Spring features a cascading melody played over an alternating bass pattern. There’s “In the Deep” which focuses on a steady rolling groove in the bass while projecting a bluesy pentatonic melody over the top. Reed All About It is loosely based on the guitar style of one of my favorite American guitar pickers, the great Jerry Reed. And finally, we’ll play Eliza’s Eyes. This has a contemporary groove that incorporates a lot of different textures and musical lines in order to evoke the sound of a full band through one solo instrument.”

Clive will explain and demonstrate all of the key concepts and approaches along the way. You’ll get standard notation and tabs for all of the performance studies. Plus, you’ll be able to use TrueFire’s learning tools to sync the tab and notation to the video lesson. You can also loop or slow down the videos so that you can work with the lessons at your own pace.
