The RMS Guitar Squad may only be a couple of weeks old, but the students are playing as if they have been participating in the program for months! The video below - filmed last Friday, February 5th - shows just how well these young guitarists are performing. The 12-bar blues in 'A' demonstrates the students' ability to perform a simple song (Nat'l Standard 2) in a group while reading from a standard 12-bar blues diagram (Nat'l Standard 5) and maintaining a steady beat.
We will also discuss the history of the blues (Nat'l Standard 9), the characteristic use of elements such as repetition, and the common structure of 12-bar blues lyrics (Nat'l Standard 8).
The video has also been posted on the Little Kids Rock web site . LKR is the organization that provided us with the guitars. Thank you, Little Kids Rock!
