3. "The Stones - LET IT BLEED" W'shop w/Russ Anixter
(Intermediate) 
SOLD OUT

This workshop will do the entire LET IT BLEED album from 1969. This is one of the Stones more important albums as it was the last album with Brian Jones and the first album with Mick Taylor, hence bringing in a new era for the band.
We can create our own arrangements of the material while incorporating original licks from the songs. It is my hope to put our own stamp on the material while maintaining the flavor of the album. (We might even flat out jam out on a couple of numbers.) Through this process we will learn and rehearse the whole album, and take the best 30 minutes to the stage!! Lead sheets for all the songs will be provided.
Song List: Gimmie Shelter, Love In Vain, Country Honk, Live With Me, Let It Bleed, Midnight Rambler, You Got The Silver, Monkey Man, You Can't Always Get What You Want.

 Rehearsals on Thursdays: May 9 and May 16 from 6:30 to 8:30 and May 30 and June 6 from 6:30 to 9:30.   Then we hit the stage June 7th!

 Cost: Members:  $225.00+ tax;  Non-Members $300.00+tax. Non-members who purchase m'ship & a w'shop at the same time receive the member rate for the w'shop plus an additional $75.00 discount *$156.65 savings) Detailed breakdown below. Payment must be received upon registration. Read below for Terms/Conditions.
