Bluegrass Slow Jam - 6/14/15

This jam is open to anyone that wants experience playing and singing Bluegrass standard songs at a moderately slow tempo in a supportive, educational, fun jam setting. Depending on how many players we have, the jam may break into a group for people that are complete beginners, and a group for people that want to play at faster tempos. Players of all skill-levels and ages are welcome, and we are making a special effort to find kids that want to play music with other kids.

*Prerequisites: you should be able to play basic chords on your acoustic instrument smoothly, at 60-100 quarter note beats per minute. Be ready to have some fun and laugh a lot. Players are welcome to bring tape recorders, songbooks, and tablature, but I believe most people can learn to play most bluegrass songs by ear, just like in the old days. Guitar and banjo players should have a capo, and every player should have an electronic tuner, or you can borrow one from me.
Testimonials:
• Thanks for leading the group with your patience and humor. I've learned a lot, become more comfortable playing with others, and have greatly expanded my list of songs/tunes.
• Thanks for your ongoing patience with those of us who continue to put the "slow" in "slow jam!"
• You were so patient, helpful, and friendly yesterday and I can't thank you enough! You will definitely be seeing more of me now that I've found your jams.
• Hi Ran, I really enjoyed the jam - it's a great way to learn. As you can probably tell, I've done most of my playing at home, solo, so the jamming etiquette is new to me.
