Clawhammer Jam Favorites

Note: There is no class on Tuesday, June 24th

In this repertoire class, we'll learn fiddle tunes commonly played at old-time jams in Louisville. Some examples may include: "Over the Waterfall," "Rock the Cradle Joe," "John Stenson's #2," "Red Prairie Dawn," "Road to Malvern," "Fine Times at Our House," "Boating Up Sandy," and "Brushy Fork of John's Creek." Our biggest goal is to build the confidence to go out and play with others!

Skills will include:

• dressing up tunes using hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides
• adding syncopation
• playing melody and chords up the neck
• drop-thumb
• alternate string pull-offs

Who Should Attend:
This course teaches repertoire and technique and is intended for intermediate students who want to polish their skills. Students should have a strong right-hand clawhammer stroke and experience playing in Open-G, Double-C, Double-D, and Sawmill tunings.
