Fiddling in Flat Keys - free workshop (online)

flat keys workshop nov 12 '21.png

There’s no catch, no sales pitch at the end - this is just free. Come one, come all!

If you’ve been playing awhile or flipping through tune books, you’ve probably run across a fiddle tune here or there in Bb or F (or their relative minors, Gm and Dm). Do they psych you out?

Even if you’re comfortable with those tunes, what happens when you want to sit in with a singer-songwriter or jazz horn player who calls a tune in Eb, Ab, or Db? Are you comfortable there?

I do teach a whole 4-week course about this, but for this workshop we’ll just get in the sandbox and start to play around a bit.

What we’ll do:

  • We’ll learn a fiddle tune in Bb (combo of sheet music/tablature and by-ear, so you can choose your favorite learning style)

  • Then we’ll talk about a systematic approach to get more comfortable playing and improvising in the other flat keys. (I promise I won’t just tell you to go home and practice your scales until you’re magically comfortable improvising.)

Sound good? Fill out the form below to RSVP.

(And yes, there will be a replay, so no worries if the time doesn’t work for you to show up live at 12pm Pacific on November 12th.)
