Collin taught Sheri 17 days ago

During a recent guitar lesson, Collin worked with Sheri on a range of fundamental skills, including mastering chords like DM, A, E5, A5, D5, and F. Their practice also incorporated rhythmic concepts such as dotted quarter notes, 16th notes, and 2/4 time, applying these to songs like "O Canada," "Sweet Caroline," and "Country Roads/Almost Heaven, West Virginia." Sheri shows good progress, though Collin highlighted the importance of practicing the correct material, memorizing chords, and using additional resources, as she sometimes practices the wrong things.

During the time of the pandemic, I picked guitar as a hobby, but never knew it would convert into a passion, and this was because of van Niekerk . All thanks to her guidance and detail-oriented classes, which actually made this journey very easy for me. Now I can play a whole song on the guitar and flex in front of my friends.

Learning R&B Guitar in Sacramento: A City-Sound Connection

Where R&B Starts to Settle In

Where R&B Starts to Settle In

In Sacramento, picking up R&B guitar tends to blend into the background of daily life. It might begin with learning a few signature chords like A minor 7 and slowly getting a feel for how they shape the smooth, expressive tones of the genre. Songs like "Love Language" by SZA provide more than inspiration; they offer a place to begin.

Practicing can feel like part of the day rather than a task. After a walk through Capitol Park or a slow morning in a Midtown café, the guitar finds its place. There's something grounding about those first few chord changes, especially when the rhythm of life surrounds you, footsteps on pavement, soft conversation drifting from nearby porches.
 


Slow Steps, Clear Sound

Slow Steps, Clear Sound

Techniques take shape over time. Barre chords and soft strumming come into focus through steady repetition. There’s a comfort in sitting by the window or settling in after running errands along Broadway, finding a quiet moment to work through finger placement. The goal isn’t to rush, but to keep it consistent.

Sacramento’s easy going vibe supports that kind of progress, where practice doesn't need to be loud or urgent. The guitar becomes another voice in the flow of the day, something steady to return to between moments.
 


Letting the Music Settle

Letting the Music Settle

Over time, playing shifts from repetition to something more personal. Swapping picks or experimenting with new rhythms becomes part of the process. The creativity feels natural, maybe sparked by a mural glimpsed downtown or the echo of live music in a small park.

After picking up a coffee or winding down from a bike ride along the American River Trail, the guitar often feels like the natural way to close out the day. Not to perform, but just to play. To hear something new in a familiar chord, shaped by mood, memory, and place.
