Interactive Video Masterclass
The role of a sideman in a band is equally, if not more, crucial to a band's success than the role of the frontman. The sideman requires a unique set of skills and sensitivities that are often overlooked but vital for any aspiring professional musician.
The Art and Craft of the Sideman is authored and presented by one of the most accomplished, sought-after 'sidemen' in the biz - G.E. Smith. This masterclass will guide your development of the skills you'll need command of to make you a valuable band member while enriching your musical journey, opening doors to diverse and rewarding opportunities.
”I've always been drawn to the role of a sideman. The variety of genres and musicians that I get to play with and learn from keeps me inspired. The challenge of crafting guitar parts on the fly, supporting a singer, and honoring the song keeps me on my toes.
There are no shortcuts for developing the big ears and solid chops you'll need as a sideman, But… I can give you a running start.
We'll play through 10 backing tracks in a variety of styles. I'll demonstrate and explain what to listen for and how to quickly craft rhythm and lead parts to keep your singer, band members, and audience smiling.”
G.E. Smith was the lead guitarist for the duo Hall & Oates during the band's heyday from 1979 to 1985, playing on five number-one singles. Smith then took on the role of Saturday Night Live's bandleader and has recorded and performed with David Bowie, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan, Roger Waters, Tina Turner, Tracy Chapman, Tom Waits, and dozens of other top-tier artists.
In short, G.E. is one of the most prolific, respected guitarists and musicologists of all time, which is why we are thrilled to welcome him to the family with his first TrueFire course, The Art & Craft of the Sideman.
G.E.'s masterclass is a must-have learning journey for any musician aspiring to play in a band professionally or just for the joy of making music with other musicians.
You'll have TrueFire's advanced learning tools at your fingertips to personalize your workspace and learn at your own pace.
The performances are tabbed, notated, and synced to the video with looping and slow-motion controls. Backing tracks, Guitar Pro files, printable tab and notation are also included.
