First Fraser River Jam Session for Beginners.
Never been to a jam before? Want to get out to a session but unsure what goes on/if your skill level would suit? Come out to our jam! Geared for beginners and those who are still learning, featuring easily played group songs and repetition at various speeds to help get the ear up to speed too. Basically, the seed of this is a bunch of friends who have had that instrument in their closets for too long without any social way of playing it. We are Making Things Happen.
Guitars, drum, viola, voice, <insert portable non-electric instrument here>, tin whistle welcome. Mainly fiddlers right now though.
We play in a picturesque clearing beside the Fraser River, once a month, and sometimes at the VPL downtown when we want to record our sessions/the weather is bad.
This session is about having fun, practicing our skills, and learning to let go a little to enjoy the tunes instead of getting all cranked about not being "good enough" to play with other people. Tune types include Irish tunes, geek tunes, Greek tunes, and general horsing around.
Tunes that we tackle to follow.
