How do you know what notes to pick throught the chords of the song? In this workshop, Herb will show you how to develop an introduction and how to create melodies through chords. You MUST have background in major scales and be familiar with the fingerboard.

Sounds like fun... Too bad I'll be stuck at home. I guess I'll have to listen to Herb's CD's!
