April is International Guitar Month!!
Let’s try AIR GUITAR! No instrument needed.
Air guitar is a form of dance and movement in which the performer pretends to play an imaginary rock or heavy metal -style electric guitar, including riffs, solos, etc. Playing an air guitar uses exaggerated strumming and picking motions and is often coupled with loud singing or lip-synching.
John Jacobson of Music Express Magazine has a great demonstration. Play along with John or pick your own favorite song.
Have FUN!!
