The SLOW JAM is geared for beginner
to low-intermediate players and/or singers who want to have the fun of playing with others. Requirements are very simple.
Instrumentalists only need:
- To know how to tune your instrument (electronic tuners are welcome).
- The ability to play G, C, and D chords (except fiddlers).
- Have a capo (except fiddlers).
Singers need the ability to sing reasonably well on key and stay with the rhythm.
The SLOW JAM may have some of the same songs played at a regular jam but at a much slower tempo and will have
no more than three chords. Similar to any jam, the opportunity to "take a lead break" will pass from picker to
picker around the circle. You may choose to take a break or pass and only play back-up. Each month the players
select the songs to be played during the next jam. This provides an opportunity to learn some of the songs ahead of time.
This is NOT a performance jam - spectators are discouraged except for drivers of players who are too young to drive.
Advanced players are welcome to come for the purpose of coaching the beginners who can gain experience in a low pressure environment.
