FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Los Angeles, CA – October 23, 2009 Jean Welles is on a mission. She has dedicated her energy to helping people the world over draw closer to our God through learning and developing the skill of playing worship guitar. Just in time for Christmas, Guitar Coach Welles has released a new course which helps guitar players of all levels with their finger picking skills.
Welles, with a Masters in Guitar Performance from USC, has been teaching guitar for over 30 years. In 2001, she decided to make her technique available to a bigger group and produced the first Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class™ video.
“Our programs are now in around 1500 stores and 56 nations that I know about,” says Welles. Her series of DVDs and videos are designed to help individuals and families quickly learn how to play the guitar in the comfort of their own homes.
At the heart of all of her work, Welles says, is her commitment to Christ. In addition to teaching and coaching guitar players all over the world, she is a worship leader in the Los Angeles area, and her video series has been used by hundreds of churches to train new worship leaders. By combining popular Praise and Worship, excellent technique and easy to follow instruction, Welles has helped tens of thousands of people explore new ways of incorporating music into their worship.
The latest addition to the Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class™ series is a new book and DVD entitled “Mastering Finger Picking.” This course includes all-new material and is designed to help Christian guitar students of all skill levels improve their finger picking skills.
Welles explains, “The new course is easy enough for a beginning player to learn from, and will also be useful for people who have been playing the guitar for many years.”
The course centers around honing one’s finger picking technique through exercises, and then moves into song accompaniments and solos. Included are Christmas songs, classical pieces, Christian hymns and even a flamenco solo.
The book and DVD are available now.
A worship leader and guitar coach in the greater Los Angeles area, Jean Welles has been responsible for helping over 100,000 people learn to use the beauty of guitar music to enhance their worship. In addition to the Jean Welles Worship Guitar Class™ series, Ms. Welles sponsors yearly worship songwriting contests for both children and adults. This year’s contest will be held in November.
