About Bertrand Laurence Guitar Studio in Cambridge, MA

Russell said it best: "The trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt." Parents, let's take these three concepts - playing the guitar, growing musicianship, and weeding out limiting beliefs - and help our kids grow the seeds of passion and curiosity. We can help them recognize the truth that they already have talent and potential. It's our job as parents to nurture that and help them weed out the limiting beliefs that hinder their progress. With the right combination of hard work, dedication, and guidance, our children can become the musicians they dream of being.

Basics and Beyond

Let’s explore the easy way to fingerstyle a guitar, from one finger, to two, to three. This gentle class will foster a sense of relaxed effortlessness by getting rid of tension, observing proper ergonomics, and moving very patiently and gradually from very basic to more sophisticated patterns of finger style guitar. Patterns taken from the traditions of Folk, Blues, Classical, Country, will offer a wide array of colors, moods and textures.

Fingerstyle Guitar

Expanding the playground: So you have some familiarity with the tablature system, basic finger-style patterns, hammer-ons and pull-offs, as well as the basic chord shapes and also a few movable chord shapes. (If not, starting with All American Fingerstyle #1 would be recommended as a thorough overview.) We will review and move beyond the basics and further explore the various elements introduced earlier.
