Hey all on the Wikiloops world. I see Alex has already done a thread on offering online lessons in our isolated times but I'd like, if I may, to gauge interest in online lessons too, in particular, on song and style/genre interpretation.
I'm looking to make it open for all - there's no money, advertising or personal interest in this (apart from a smidge of self-promotion and, I hope, a healthy chunk of Wikiloops promotion) - but I'd like to offer some musicianship lessons to the drummers out there. I've still a few days of technical challenges to overcome (not least because a couple of things I need aren't turning up until Wednesday!) before I'm ready for live. These will be online 'clinics' rather than individual lessons. Anyone can join if they want.
If I ran a series of live lessons on musical genres, musical interpretation and general musicianship - this isn't about being a clever player, just the trademarks of styles which you could wheel out to get you through a track - would you drummers out there be interested? Rather than focus on specific songs or clever tricks, I want it to be open to everyone of all abilities, and I feel arming players with some knowledge of how the various styles work would be a good place to start.
As part of this, I'd like to use Wikiloops backing tracks, representing the genres I'd like to cover. So my second question is would people/Wikiloops object if I used tracks that had their playing on them? I'm happy to ask individual performer permission if necessary but this is for educational purposes rather than any other gain.
I have so many years of playing behind me and, as part of that, I've learned a variety of party tricks to get me through styles, genres and songs in general which I'd like to pass on for nothing more than sheer enjoyment of doing so.
I don't want to use commercial tracks for obvious copyright reasons.
