San Franciso Bluegrass & Old-Time Festival Workshop
Bluegrass banjo with Ross Nickerson

Ross Nickerson has launched a new series of workshops focusing on playing by ear, jamming with others, learning more about using chords, basic improvising, and getting away from tablature. Ross specializes in breaking down the many common obstacles unique to learning 5-string bluegrass banjo into simple practical terms.

Other topics covered include exercises and drills, picking, timing, memorizing, improvising, jamming skills, and backup! This workshop will be ideal for intermediate students who need to raise their skill level and get more direction. Beginners can come and take notes and should come away from the workshop inspired with a much clearer understanding of what needs to be done.

Ross will find ways to challenge more advanced players and make sure they come away with some new understanding, licks and tips.
