Guthrie Trapp Live in Nashville
Mon, 03/13/2017 - 4:24pm
There's a new section added designed to showcase some of that fine country guitar playing in action!
These are especially good for anyone interested in working with singers. You'll see how two real Nashville musicians put their heads together to practice for a set. Watch exclusive behind the scenes footage of Guthrie working with ArtistWorks vocal teacher Lari White in her studio on two different songs: "Love Right," and "Lay Around and Love on You." You get to see the rehearsal as well as the actual performance which we recorded later that night at the Acme Feed and Seed. A before and after if you will.
There's also two additional performances from their set to check out. Find it all in the Guthrie Trapp Live in Nashville" section of the Learn area!

A new 7 part interview is available from Rockygrass 2016, filmed in the ArtistWorks RV backstage at RockyGrass 2016 with Michael Daves and Tim O'Brien. In this series Michael and Tim discuss musical and singing topics and sing duet performances of "Down in the Willow Garden" and "I'm Blue, I'm Lonesome." The latter also appears as a lesson in the curriculum if you'd like to learn that song and all its parts. In their performance they switch high and low parts mid way to show the contrast of vocal tones. Tim also does a solo performance of "Another Day" accompanying himself on mandolin.

How to Sing Bluegrass: Tips for Warming Up
Thu, 07/28/2016 - 3:56pm
There’s an old bluegrass joke that goes something like this:
Question: How does a bluegrass singer warm up?
Answer: He clears his throat.
The implication here is that bluegrass singing doesn’t require much warming up at all, but that isn’t the greatest plan if you want to deliver your best sound. Your voice is an instrument after all, and as any musician knows - you don't just want to jump right into a performance without warming up. Also ask any great athelete about the importance of stretching... you'll find it's a similar concept, warming up is essential!
So what should you do to warm up your voice? Luckily we have Michael Daves on board to show us how to sing bluegrass like a pro.
