Friday

Erin McGrane and Jeff
Freling of Victor & Penny: Ukulele As
A Rhythm Instrument
Erin
and Jeff will show you the difference between just strumming along and driving
the rhythm. Learn these simple but effective strumming techniques and delve
into the styles of swing and gypsy jazz. They'll also demonstrate how to
arrange songs for ukulele including interpreting the feel and finding useful
chord substitutions to help you play more confidently and musically. Bring your
Uke!
Peter Danzig of Otter
Creek: Mandolin
This workshop will be tailored specifically to
the needs of the attendees and can cover everything from beginning to advanced
techniques. Peter will be on hand to help solve problems with tone and
accuracy, work on basic chords, chopping and advanced picking techniques, and
can work with groups on topics as eclectic as finger-picking the mandolin and
cross tunings. Peter Danzig is the 2011 Utah
State Mandolin Champion and won 2nd place in the 2011 National Mandolin
Championship. His clear smooth tone is complemented by skill in arrangement and
a willingness to stretch the boundaries of traditional playing. He maintains a
studio of private students. More information at www.OtterCreekDuo.com
As both a classically trained Violinist
as well as a Utah State Fiddle Champion, Mary is equally at home in front
of an orchestra or in a hot pickin’ bluegrass jam. Years of teaching students
of all ages have made her able to identify technical challenges players face
and pinpointing simple fixes for any problem encountered. She can develop
techniques for participants to improve their tone, precision and speed.
Fiddlers leave her workshops armed with an arsenal of tools for improving
playing on their own. She can also help fiddlers learn to back up other
players in a jam or band setting when it is not their turn to take the melody.

Marty Warburton: The 5 string Banjo
This
5 String Banjo workshop will
offer instruction for beginners as well as advanced players. Topics of discussion
and demonstration will include: tunings, banjo set-up, using finger
picks, how to buy a banjo, hot
licks, chord structure, lead and back-up picking as well as the all
important "roll" to get the beginners on their way. Attendees
are encouraged, but not required, to bring along your 5-string banjo
and ask all the questions you like.
Marty Warburton has won multiple Banjo
Championships throughout the country including The Utah State Banjo
Championship, The Four Corner States Bluegrass Banjo Championship, The Huck
Finn Jubilee Professional Banjo Competition and the Rockygrass Bluegrass
Festival Banjo Championship. Marty is proud to endorse Deering™ Banjos.
Ned Evett - Fretless Guitar
Slide
guitar takes many forms, with every style of guitar from Fender Strats to
Gibson Dobros being used to produce beautiful sliding tones. Spend some time
with glass fretless slide master Ned Evett. He has removed the frets entirely
from his guitars and created a ' slide on the other side' playing style.
Ned
is the winner of the 2003 North American Rock Guitar Competition. Guitar Player
Magazine calls Ned the world's first fretless guitar rockstar, and USA Today
calls him the master of the fretless glass necked guitar. His new album
'Treehouse;' was produced by Adrian Belew.
A clinic and performance not to be missed!
Water Tower: Bluegrass & Old-time Band Lab for guitars,
fiddles, mandos, and basses
Ever
wonder what the difference is between old-time and bluegrass music? This
workshop will teach you with hands-on experience! It begins with a few
basic tunes splitting the class into rhythm and melody sections. In the rhythm
section you will learn some essential bass runs and chord strum patterns as
well as pick technique. The melody section will focus on perfecting the melody
note by note, honing in on basic picking/bow patterns. The last 20 minutes of
the workshop will be dedicated to come together as a group and jam with Water
Tower! Some basic knowledge of your instrument is required as this is not
necessarily a workshop for beginners, but those who want to learn more about
incorporating yourself into the band element.
Afro-Zep: Creating an Afro-beat groove, for all
instruments
Learn
about the history of Afro-beat music and the techniques used to create
Afro-beat grooves. Afro-Zep members will teach you
how to create an Afro-beat groove. The rhythms of African music are very
danceable yet highly complex. Each instrument has its own specific function.
Learn to understand how your instrument part fits into the whole
ensemble. This workshop looks at different Afro-beat styles using examples
from musicians such as Fela Kuti and teaches how to create your own grooves.
This is it for the main and second stage
performances at Groovefest 2013!! Go to the website for full information. And…
