This is an introduction to the world of bluegrass. If you are new to it or want to widen your knowledge a little this is for you. We will look at some well-known tunes that I learned and transcribed from Mike Marshall. We will try out some melody playing, rhythm playing and improvisation in our bluegrass mega-band. Open to all instruments. Music will be provided but ability to read music is not required.
