DEPUTY HEAD OF GUITAR JOHN WHEATCROFT

Hi, I’m John Wheatcroft, Academic Head for guitar. All of our courses here at BIMM are custom designed to provide you with the skills you need to succeed as a contemporary guitarist.

You’ll learn the technical and conceptual skills to allow you to fully develop as a unique artist and by teaching you how to study, practice and apply these skills you’ll become truly self sufficient. Most guitarists go round in circles, practicing and therefore playing the same old things. You attempt to break out of this pattern by buying a new guitar DVD, surfing the internet or learning some licks from a magazine. The problem is that as this information is rarely covered in any depth with no means of progression or conceptual understanding, when you pick up the guitar in a playing situation nothing comes out. You’re back to square one again!

To make real improvement requires focus, depth of understanding and real attention to detail. This needs to be in all areas, such as:• Technique Left hand, right hand and coordination exercises and

concepts, looking at posture, efficiency of motion and tone production• Rhythm How this crucially effects everything we play• Fretboard skills A systematic approach to allow you to know where

you are and where you are going at all times• Styles Understanding the building blocks used to create classic and

contemporary styles, allowing you to perform, create and improvise with authority and authenticity

• Musicality This include skills such as interpreting tunes, improvisation skills, interplay with the band and creating effective guitar parts

• General Musicianship Crucial skills such as Reading, Transcribing, Composing and Arranging, Developing you ear with Aural training and a solid grasp of theory

• Music Technology and Studio Practical experience and technical understanding allowing you to create and record your own music and to function as a guitarist in the recording studio

REMEMBER THE OLD EXPRESSION ‘IT’S EASY IF YOU KNOW HOW’. WELL AT BIMM WE’LL SHOW YOU HOW!

Here at BIMM London we break each topic down into its conceptual and technical elements and present a progressive practise strategy allowing you to obtain these skills with a complete understanding and total mastery. You can have the confidence that your skills are now based on understanding a topic in depth, allowing you to perform with greater conviction and authority whilst taking satisfaction with the fact that you are now going in the right direction.
