Explore the rich history and exciting sounds of Blues on the mandolin. We will learn a classic Blues song each day. Songs will be taught in layers so that you can learn blues scales, moveable 7th chords, turnarounds, and new rhythms in context and then understand how to use these elements in new Blues songs you learn and create down the road. We'll also learn techniques for improvising solos and accompanying other musicians. Bring what you learn to the Juke Joint Blues workshop each afternoon and bring back questions the next day!

‍Students should bring mandolin, tuner, paper and pencil, and recording device.

All levels except true beginners.
