2025 Cabin Camp Songlist!

This song list is simply a common curriculum of tunes that helps us find common ground during jams and instruction time. I don’t require you to have solos prepared for camp, but I do want you to be familiar with the songs (particularly the melody and chord progressions!). Perhaps the best way you can prepare is by using the PickAlong lessons! PickAlong lessons are virtual jam videos that are instrument-specific and help with “real world” playing by teaching the melody and chords. If you’d like to learn solos for the songs, I encourage you to do so and there are lessons/tabs for each of those if you need help. See you soon at Cabin Camp!

I guess I’m gonna need to break down and learn Big Sciota. It’s come up at jams a couple of times.

I go to the river side and now it makes me want to learn the Big Scioty!

Try Ben’s original banjo arrangement. It’s challenging but really cool!
