Pete Wernick’s Bluegrass Jam Camp is a combination of classroom and hands-on instruction by an experienced, understanding teacher. The focus is on playing music in a social context. You will be grouped with others according to experience, and do a lot of jamming, sometimes guided, sometimes on your own, with lots of hands-on individualized help.A friendly, "safe" situation to learn. Lots of jamming, everyone participating at their own level.You will be jamming the first morning!

Pete will give group and individual pointers on instrumental technique, harmony singing, and the how-to’s of a variety of jam situations. Pete will show you how to be in a bluegrass jam session, fitting in at your own ability level.

Learn:

• How to follow chords to new songs and play along comfortably
• The basics of simple soloing - even when you don’t know the song!
• Standard jam procedure and etiquette

How You Qualify - It's easier than you may think!
If you play guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, bass, resonator guitar, even autoharp or dulcimer, you can be part of a bluegrass jam. All bluegrass instruments, all skill levels welcome.

Only requirements: You must be able to tune your instrument (electronic tuning devices welcome) and change smoothly between G, C, D, and A. Fast playing is not expected, nor is the ability to solo required.

YOU CAN do it!
