14:30 - FROM EAR TO AMP - WITH ANDY GUITAR
LIVE SONG BREAKDOWN WITH YOUTUBE'S ANDY CROWLEY
Ever wish you could hear a song and just…play it? No tab, no tutorial, just your ears, your guitar, and a bit of musical wizardry? Well, here’s your chance to learn how!
Join Andy Crowley, the face behind the massively popular Andy Guitar YouTube channel, for a live clinic that lifts the lid on one of the most powerful skills any guitarist can learn: working out songs by ear.
In this unique, informal session, Andy will be played songs he’s never heard (or learnt) and work them out on the fly, explaining his methods as he goes.
You’ll learn how to train your ear, spot common chord progressions, and recognise riffs, and also have the chance to throw in your own song suggestions for Andy to try too!
This will finish with an open Q&A to ask Andy anything about ear training, gear, or his journey as a top guitar educator.
From total beginners to seasoned bedroom shredders looking to ditch the need for tabs, this clinic will help you trust your ears and play with confidence.
