Frequently asked questions:<\/h2>\n

The European Tap-Guitar Seminar<\/h1>\n

I am an absolute beginner. I can’t read and\/or I can’t play…<\/h2>\n

No problem. The beginners class can accept people from various backgrounds. You might find absolute beginners in music but also trained readers on another instrument who begin the tap-guitar, or t-g virtuoso who cannot read and wish to do it, and so on. After say, 2 days in the beginners class you may ask to go to the intermediate class. There are also special afternoon classes and private tuition available to satisfy your individual needs.<\/p>\n

I play the X TM tap-guitar, I am tuned in the Y way, and I play only Z music.<\/h2>\n

Welcome! The Seminar is open. It aims to\u00a0to teach general techniques of playing, reading, and understanding music for the tap-guitar. Your options will be respected and the methods you will learn are general and adaptable to all situations.<\/p>\n

I don’t have a tap-guitar<\/h2>\n

No problem. You can bring a simple electric guitar if you wish. The E-Tap, Brussels school, can also lend you a tap-guitar for the week.<\/p>\n

Amplifier, PA, Do I have to bring an amp?<\/h2>\n

The classes are all equipped with a mix desk and a small PA. There are also some guitar amps. Therefore those who come by plane or train do not need to bring an amp. Those who come by car might as well bring an amp if they wish to have their own sound, or just help the seminar.
\nHowever you should all have your own personal practice amp to use\u00a0 in between the courses or in the evening. This might be a small mini- or a battery driven micro-amp\u00a0 . There are also some devices with headphones, which you can carry on your belt and which are very handy.<\/p>\n

Do I need books or printed scores?<\/h2>\n

For Daniel Schell<\/b>‘s course. Yes, you need “My Space, My Time” volume 2 ‘Thesaurus and exercises” . This book contains the exercises and songs which we shall practice during the week. You will also need one of the three volumes of “The path to My Space My Time”. The reading exercises are all in there. Ask Daniel which volume you need according to you reading level. (Vol1: beginners, Vol2: intermediate Vol3: advanced) You will have to buy these books either before the Seminar\u00a0 or at your arrival at the Seminar.<\/p>\n

You can order all books with www.clicmusic.be books and scores\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

The other teachers will either use the a fore mentioned books or bring their own material and make them freely available to you .<\/p>\n
