Description

10am – 4pm CDT         Intermediate / Advanced Level – Irish Banjo

Learning traditional Irish reels and jigs on the five string banjo.

 

The five string isn’t the most common choice of instrument for playing these tunes but it brings it’s own unique and wonderful sound to these beautiful Irish tunes.

 

The workshop will consist of learning traditional Irish reels and jigs using a combination of melodic and single string techniques. We will also learn various techniques to ornament Irish tunes including triplets and grace notes. We will also learn how to play back up for the reels that are in 4/4 time and the jigs which are in 6/8 time.

 

You will be able to add these various techniques to your bluegrass tunes to give them an Irish accent. Top o’ the morning to y’all! (Comedy material not included)

 

We will cover the crossover between the two traditions of Irish and Bluegrass and have a lot of fun doing it!

 

During the workshop each picker will receive tablature for all of the material.

 

Looking forward to pickin’ with you and seeing you all there!
