Group Classes (Kumbengo Classes)
In these group lessons we work on specific pieces that I am transcribing or composing. Nobody can hear you playing, so you get to privately play along with me, and a bunch of other fellow guitarists. As of 2023 I am making the lessons shorter and focusing on one piece at a time. This is so everyone could, conceivably, aim to do most of the weekly lessons and we can all progress on a single piece together.
The Lesson Stream
Here all the classes are stored for watching at a later time. You can slow the videos down and catch up on the week’s lessons. If you do every lesson uploaded that would be around six half-hour practice sessions a week. You don’t have to do this though. But you could…
Individual Classes
A time for you to practice with my ears in the room, and an opportunity for me to hear your practice and know what to show you next, either in your class or in a group class.
“What [Derek Gripper] is doing in his life with educational and other projects is inspiring, and to be honest, I think it is where the guitar should be going.”
“An inspiring lesson that I keep thinking about and getting more from.”
“One of the very small percentage of musicians who have risen to the top of their field.”
