Adam Hurt- Intermediate Round Peak Clawhammer Banjo Workshop

Adam Hurt- Intermediate Round Peak Clawhammer Banjo Workshop
Thursday April 25th 5:30-8pm
$40

In this workshop Adam will teach-
The Round Peak Clawhammer Style of Kyle Creed: learn tunes from the playing of this Surry County, North Carolina source musician and master of timing and tone! His characteristic use of the fifth string and other special moves as covered in this class’ case-study material are tools that can enhance other tunes already in your repertoire. Workshop participants should have a good working knowledge of the basics of the clawhammer style, including drop-thumbing, and be comfortable playing in multiple tunings. All material will be taught by ear in the traditional manner, so the use of recording devices is highly recommended.
