Phil Doleman

A sequel to Phil’s popular ‘unlocking the fingerboard’ workshop that he has delivered at clubs and festivals all over the UK.

In this workshop you’ll take familiar shapes that you can move all over the fingerboard, and learn how to modify them to build more exotic chords, link them together with passing chords, try out some common chord substitutions, and unravel the diminished chord and find out what you can do with it. You’ll also look at how chords are built, and how you can use that knowledge to cope with any chord thrown at you!

If you have already done the Unlocking The Fretboard workshop, this will be a perfect companion to it. Participants should either have taken Phil’s original ‘Unlocking The Fingerboard’ workshop, or be intermediate level players comfortable with moving barre chords around the fingerboard.

Level: Intermediate to Advanced
