**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON CLASS**
Plug yourself into the local roots music community with Intro to Bluegrass Jamming!
This 4-week course provides budding bluegrass musicians with an overview of the format and “rules” of playing in a bluegrass jam session.
The primary goal is to break down the various aspects of bluegrass jamming – playing rhythm, taking leads, verbal and non-verbal cues – and give folks the skills and confidence to join their local sessions, ensembles, band scrambles, and festival jams.
Open to all acoustic musicians – voice, fiddle, mandolin, guitar, banjo, bass, dobro, harmonica, etc.
Pre-requisites:
comfortable playing open chords, moving between chords, and strumming basic rhythms
note: familiarity with your instrument is necessary for this class, familiarity with bluegrass is not!
Please bring a notebook, pencil, and recording device – your phone works great!
Guitar and banjo players please bring a capo.
For this style of jamming, guitar players should expect to use a flat pick, and banjo players to play 3-finger, or “Scruggs”, style.
This class will be held from 8:00-9:15pm ET on Tuesdays, July 29, Aug 5, 12, 19
Please note: The class will be held at The Passim School of Music which is located at 26 Church St. Cambridge, MA.
