Old Time Workshops with the Foghorn String Band - Bass

Adult Group Class / Bass Program

Sammy, Caleb, Nadine and Reeb will get together at the beginning of the workshop with all the participants and demonstrate the tunes that will be learnt during the workshop. The groups will then separate and work on the tunes and get together at the end to play them all together in a relaxed, positive and supportive environment.

The bass workshop will focus on improving tone and timing through playing
lots of songs and fiddle tunes in different keys and speeds. The workshop will emphasize on providing a solid rhythm for jams and band settings. Participants will get to practice good left and right hand techniques while familiarize themselves with the fingerboard. Sure there's gonna be lots of 1-5 but we'll work on incorporating and understanding bass runs too!
