Clawhammer Banjo Jam Tunes
No class on April 23 or April 30th.
This clawhammer banjo class will focus on expanding your repertoire of tunes, coordinating some of the tunes we learn with the fiddle repertoire class so you’ll have some new tunes to take to your next jam! We’ll also cover some strategies for arranging old-time fiddle tunes idiomatically for the banjo and you’ll gain practice picking out tunes by ear while you learn some more advanced right and left-hand techniques. This class will be taught mostly by ear but tab will be provided for some tunes and exercises. This class is open to students of all levels but will be best suited to intermediate to advanced players with 1+ year of playing experience who are comfortable with clawhammer right-hand techniques and chords in standard G and double C tuning.
