Bluegrass/country/folk jam session

[Domcritch 10]

Hi I’m a fairly experienced guitarist based in Sheffield city centre. My background is playing quite heavy riff based music but I’ve recently been trying to get into bluegrass and would love to get some practice jamming some standards. I think I’m fairly proficient at basics and want to improve my fiddle style flatpicking and build up my confidence in improvising. Up for just jamming with a beer or two but have experience in bands so could be up for gigging with the right people. 

 

Anybody want to start up or know of any existing groups who are playing this sort of thing? Even any teachers who specialise in this style?

I`m a fiddler new to sheffield, looking for a guitarist. Any good?

Hi, there is or was a session in Sheffield somewhere. I’ll try and dig up some info. If you do put a band or a jam together any time give me a shout on here, I play double bass and love a bit of ‘grass

Hi Domcritch,

 

I'd be up for jamming, have posted on this forum looking for gypsy jazz style sessions but have had no takers. The thing for me is to jam with other musicians at the moment to develop my group playing skills. Let me know if interested.

 

Cheers

I play the tin whistle and I LOVE folk and bluegrass. Would be really cool to do some jamming and learn some new tunes.

Have any of you tried the folk sessions in Fagans  in Sheffield?

Different nights a wealth of talent go in there.
