Harmonica Workshops with Ronnie Shellist

[Bluesbehaviour]

Is Europe an option for you??

[RonnieShellist]

@Bluesbehaviour Yes, Europe is a possibility but due to the cost involved I would need accommodations, a good turnout and some gigs perhaps to make it all work out.

[Bluesbehaviour]

@RonnieShellist You'l also need to find more people located in europe. But it will be a privilige if you'd just came for one person only :)

[jfllr1]

England a possibility?

[RonnieShellist]

hey guys..for now i'm going to do some online teaching via Skype. if i ever schedule workshops, i'll promote them with a youtube clip. email me here for more info. on lessons online. thanks.

[hockeylvn]

[zonkyeah]

have you heard from ohio or any plans for ohio

[verbaIpocketplay]

Hey, Ronnie--did you nail down any locations yet?

[hersheleh]

Come to Los Angeles, California. I've got some questions about tongue blocking. Wondering if it's necessary.

[mecanicanetoph]

vc é demais ,,,,, muito show,,, por favor coloque , algumas tablaturas

[forg0ttenclone]

Ronnie - Anything for Florida? If so, what city or cities?

[RonnieShellist]

Tampa is the only city right now but there still

aren't enough interested people yet. thanks.

[DistantSoul13]

Any responses fromphilly including me cause i would love to make it and how much would it be?

[RonnieShellist]

Yes there has been some response from Philly but not too much yet. If you've emailed me at my personal email then I have you down.  Thanks!

Cost varies based on how many people attend.

Approx. $50

[kirbydiggers]

Put me down for Arvada, CO... or possibly Guam in August.

[Mastas999]

yo ronnie have u gotten any responses from NY near albany cuz im like 15 minutes from albany and i would deffenetly go to a class i really wanna get good at the harmonica and ive been playin for only like 2 weeks now and i got one question what do you think is the easiest way to hit a single note puker tongue blocking or curling the tongue i suck at hitting one note but yea i would deffenetly do that sounds like a sweet idea

[RonnieShellist]

Yes, I have about 3 or 4 interested folks in NY right now but I haven't yet advertised the workshop through clubs, organizations, craigslist etc..

[rjcataniajr]

With the technoloy today, I don't understand why more people don't use the internet as a way of communicating.VIDEO VIDEO VIDEO. We all could do a workshop at once from anywhere.Ron as the instructor, and all could participate. You could charge a fee, and those who pay would be sent a password to logon. It can be done. No hassle with airports, low overhead, the comfort of all our homes, and a very powerful tool at our disposal. Your thoughts?

[RonnieShellist]

I would consider one on one lessons this way but my gut tells me that with a large group, in person is the only way to go. Face to face instruction is something cannot be substituted.

There are too many subtleties and nuances that would be lost in the learning process in my opinion, ie. sound quality. This method would be impersonal. I really would like to meet all of you in person.

Having said all of this, if there were a huge demand or request that for it, I suppose I would consider it.

[TODoubleDee]

Ronnie - this is the way to go. ON-LINE LESSONS.

[gotweakers]

First of all you should start a forum so we can discuss all of this :)

[RonnieShellist]

Right, not a bad idea at all. I'll post a link perhaps of the forum right here once it is up.

[RonnieShellist]

Can anyone recommend a good place to start the forum?

[Johaneeeek]

Just do lessons on youtube?

[nazareth4372]

come to durham england and stay at my house brother.

you will get a free holliday in gods own country and my wifes cooking will fatten you up like a prime pig within the week.

[JJ4POPE]

hey Blues..if you start it out in CO i'll be there brother..catch you soon. JJ-

[RonnieShellist]

what's up JJ? Great..and yes there will be a Colorado workshop most likely in June.

I'll keep everyone posted.

[angrykoopa]

Ron your vascular arms intimidate me

[JJ4POPE]

it's those dumbbells he keeps on the floor next to the couch..ha-ha.

[Clarky3009]

RONNIE, get youself over to UK, (Scotland preferably)!!!

[RonnieShellist]

Would love to travel there. I was just in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago..just for the day. Where are you from?

[DanRidgeway]

Philly sounds good to me, man. Only a few gallons of gas away.

[snailian2]

Yay Philly!

[4lafs]

good playing. lessons in OK, TX, CA & MA? lol ever think of just starting in your local area?

btw, i really like your wall paint colors.

[RonnieShellist]

Of course. I do teach here already and I am planning a workshop here first in Colorado but I

really want to get out and reach more folks. Glad you're diggin the paint colors.

[40ozSuperman]

Philadelphia or New York would be great! You could also gives lessons via a video call. Skype offers a free video chat service. This might be a great way to give private lessons from across the country.

[ranchosdancingbull]

Minneapolis, Minnesota please! The mid-west needs blues musicians!

[benkalem]

It'd be cool to get into that workshop. Hope you can arrange your summer travelling. If you ever come to Finland let us know.

[RonnieShellist]

Yes, Finland would be a nice trip.

I'd have to be able to organize a couple

of decent size groups to afford that I think.

Let me know if you have suggestions. Thanks.

[ojinzo]

Hey Ronnie come to PHX!!

[RonnieShellist]

Oklahoma, Texas, California, and Massachusetts are all in the running so far with more than one person interested. I'll try to keep a log or update here on this video every once in a while of which states/cities have the most people interested and willing. Thanks everyone.

[JohnDMcClane]

If you happen to be in Norway, let me know.

[kirbydiggers]

Kaoshiung, Taiwan... think of it as the 51st state.

[gotweakers]

If you coincidently fly by the Netherlands please say so ;)

[deweydeloe]

I live near Amarillo but would travel to Dallas, OKC, Denver with enough notice.

[jd366]
