As easy as A,B,C#

Stuck for something new to learn and to wow your friends and family with? Why not have a go at one of our amazing interactive tutorials and contribute to a great charity campaign at the same time?

If you’re a regular reader of this e-bulletin you will know that Take it away has commissioned five exclusive online tutorials of hit songs including Take That’s ‘Back for Good’, Motown classic ‘Heard it Through The Grapevine’, Snow Patrol’s hit single ‘Run’ or, for the rockers, Deep Purple’s ‘Smoke on the Water’ (arguably featuring the greatest guitar riff of all time) and legendary Oasis hit ‘Wonderwall.’ The tracks have been made available as part of a charity campaign ‘Practice-a-thon Music’ which raises money for CLIC Sargent, the leading children’s cancer charity.

There are two simple ways of getting hold of these great tutorials:

  1. By making a suggested donation of 50p per track which will go directly to CLIC Sargent
  2. By signing up to organise a sponsored practise or even put on a fundraising gig in aid of CLIC Sargent

The tracks have been produced by Show Me How To Play using their unique ‘multiplayer’ software which helps you learn your part, while playing along with the rest of the band. The tutorials provide a unique and simple approach to learning and, better still, participants can play as part of a group to get the full effect. All five songs have been cleverly arranged to strip down separate parts for a variety of instruments and are suitable for musicians and vocalists of all abilities.

So to get your hands on the 5 tutorials now, just head over to www.smhtp.com/arts-council and get playing!
