In this workshop, Charlotte will show some of the basics of bluegrass rhythm playing, teach a fun tune and show some ways that you can play around with it, leading you to becoming a better improvising guitarist.
Charlotte Carrivick is one of the UK's most respected flatpicking guitarists and teachers, having been invited to teach at Bryan Sutton’s Blue Ridge Guitar Camp last year.
Charlotte loves digging deep into old time fiddle tunes, particularly those that haven’t yet made it into the bluegrass repertoire (but really should!), and exploring different ways to play them on the guitar.
