WI - Bluegrass Jam Class
Description
Open to all bluegrass instrumentalists and singers who want to start playing music with others and jamming. It’s a great way to experience how a jam session works, using the skills you already know on your instrument to sound great in an ensemble setting.
Each six-week class is a bit different, depending upon the participants and the backgrounds of the students. Typically the class covers everything from understanding the structure and form of bluegrass songs, how to follow a chord progression, kicking off and ending tunes, setting a tempo, using the capo (for those who use a capo!), bluegrass harmony singing, playing along with waltz time songs, fiddle tunes and much more while becoming familiar with the unspoken rules of bluegrass jam etiquette.
Olivier Zyngier is a native French speaker, born and raised in Paris, and a local performer of French music with the Bistro Moustache band. He is one of the original founders of the Baguette Quartette and has played all over the Bay Area for many years. He also leads the Swing Jam and teaches Swing Guitar at the Freight.
