David Lawrence has called Colorado home for over a

David Lawrence has called Colorado home for over a decade. Whether performing solo or with his full band, ‘The Spoonful,’ David brings a unique blend of finger-picking Delta blues, roots-Americana, soulful vocals, and his style of Gypsy-infused jazz guitar. In recent years, David has focused on his original sound & released a debut full-length album produced by Banshee Tree frontman Thom LaFond. 'Lean In' received accolades on CPR, Westword Magazine, 303 Magazine, 5280, and Rooster Magazine & plays on locals radio all over CO. A poet at heart, David’s original sound combines evocative imagery and storytelling with infectious melodies and rich, layered guitar playing. True to his musical roots, David’s music is raw, gritty, soulful, and full of heart.
@david.law.spoonful Course Description: Be prepared for immersion in Guitar! In this week-long intensive, we are going to focus on a wide range of guitar fundamentals. For aspiring lead players, we are going to ‘un-lock the pentatonic box’ which will help players develop blues & rock lead ideas without getting trapped. We will learn ‘fundamental arpeggios’ to develop proper voice leading & then we will get funky with the ‘diminished scale’ to create a fun Django sound. For Rhythm playing, we are going to develop some fun right-hand techniques including, Swing rhythm or ‘La Pompe’, Latin style Bossa, and fingerstyle.
*Registration closes 5/31! Sign up for David's Guitar Workshop or his 3-day Seed To Song songwriting breakout session via the link in our bio or by visiting campcoletrain.com.
