The Exceptional E Chord Workshop, led by Dave Kline, will focus on the use of this versatile chord, which is used across blues, jazz, and rumba flamenca styles. This session is designed for beginner and intermediate guitarists. Participants should familiarize themselves with the E, A, and B chords to maximize their experience with the workshop. To conclude the workshop, all attendees will participate in a group jam session featuring a rhumba piece composed by Dave Kline and Noah Gibney.
