Beginner/Intermediate Mandolin
In this class, we’ll cover a range of topics including double-stops, chord structure and soloing in the keys of D, A and G. By the end of the class students will be able to use chords to accompany others and play the melodies of several well-know bluegrass and old-time tunes. Basic knowledge of first position notes will be helpful, but absolute beginners are most welcome as are intermediate-level players.

He started playing guitar at the age of six, and plays ragtime guitar and acoustic finger-style blues in the tradition of John Hurt and Bill Broonzy in addition to mandolin.
