Playing Around The Campfire 

In these classes, offered during the summer, the emphasis is on singing along while playing. Singing is not required but it is encouraged. Unlike the other classes there is less emphasis on technique or new concepts.  This one is very popular.

Blues 

Intros, outros, simple melodies, and how to play different parts in a group setting. You'll learn how to incorporate slides, hammer-ons, and other techniques.

American Roots Music

Arrangements of early blues, folk, and country songs with intros, lead licks, and outros. Singing and taking solos is encouraged but not required.

Example of songs: St. James Infirmary, Mama Don't You Tear My Clothes, Alberta, Nobody Knows You When You're Down And Out, and many more.

Fingerpicking

The basics of fingerpicking using folk, country, blues, and pop music.

Theory Classes

Various topics are introduced in these classes. Want to know why this chord sounds good with that chord but not that other chord? Want to know the relationship between chords and scales? Take one of these classes.

Technique Classes 

In these classes we focus on developing certain techniques like improving single note speed and accuracy or how to cross pick. These are often short intensive classes.
