**THIS IS AN IN-PERSON WORKSHOP**
Sign up for this Intro to Bluegrass Improvisation for Guitar workshop if you’re interested in a good introduction to the style and technical elements that constitute soloing and improvising over Bluegrass.
Learning to play Bluegrass is one of the great gateways to jamming with others and connecting musically with a worldwide community. With the knowledge of only 3 chords you can begin participating in 95% of the music that is shared at Bluegrass jam circles around the world. One of the ways to deepen this experience is to learn how to solo and improvise in the style of Bluegrass, to go beyond just playing chords. With concrete examples, and illustrations of basic incremental steps, Stash Wyslouch aims to introduce you to the wonderful world of soloing and improvising in Bluegrass.
Pre-requisites: Knowledge of the names of strings, a G, C and D chord and the ability to play one string at a time with a pick.
This workshop will be held on Oct. 19th from 11:00am-1:00pm in the classrooms at Passim.
Please note: The workshop will be held at The Passim School of Music which is located at 26 Church St. Cambridge, MA. Classrooms are located on the third floor and, unfortunately, we do not have an elevator.
