Virtual Guitar Cabin Camp!

#1

I’m excited to announce my next virtual Cabin Camp, this time on guitar!

Instructors: Banjo Ben, Jake Workman, Trey Hensley

Date/Time: Tuesday, May 13, 5:00 PM to 9:30 PM US/Central

Topic: Becoming a Complete Guitar Player–Solos, Rhythm, & Improvisation Techniques

We’ll use the strengths of Jake & Trey (and there are many) to teach various aspects of being a bluegrass guitarists. Using a familiar bluegrass standard as our medium, we’ll learn how to create solos, provide tasty rhythm, and improvise!

Registration link coming soon!

If you’re attending, you can leave questions below for the teachers & I’ll do my best to work them in. You’ll also be able to submit questions during the Q&A portion of the camp.

Wow I’m glad I caught this announcement! I was wondering when you’d have a Virtual Guitar Camp. I’m considering signing up my grandson. I’m a bit intimidated though, those are two of the fastest players I know of. Is there a recommendation of intermediate to advanced abilities for this one?

If I may take a guess here, Trey and Jake and Ben will cater this nicely to players of all levels, probably focusing toward upper intermediate/early advanced players - but they certainly won’t just shred the whole time. I know I’ve taken lessons with Jake for seven years now and he always comes down to my level. Both he and Trey (and obviously Ben!) are very relatable and encouraging teachers; they won’t make us feel like we’ve been left in the dust.

Will you upload the recording to the site or will I still have to pay for it even after it’s over. If not I totally understand was just curious .

Of all the guitar players , you picked my absolute favorite . The way those guys make their guitars sound like machine guns makes me want to burn my guitar.

Every time I see a video of those guys I feel like I can shred .then I pick up my guitar and realize it’s a false reality I was in for second. Lol

I’m with you, @carson! I hear something and I’m like, “Oh, it can’t be that hard!” Then I utterly slaughter it when I try it! :laughing:

One of the reason I love this site is the fact that @BanjoBen doesn’t charge bank just to show a lesson with more famous guitar players . Especially the lessons with Cody Killy and Kenny Smith . There is no videos I can find as professionally as @BanjoBen has set up. Thanks!!!

Hi @carson Andy If you purchase the Virtual Cabin Camp lesson @BanjoBen will send you a link after the Live Lesson is over that you can continue to access. I would encourage you to save the link to your device so you don’t have to hunt through tons of emails. Talking from experience.

I should add these Virtual Cabin Camp Lessons are EXTRA not part of your Gold Pick Membership you purchase them through the General Store. See the link below.

In my case, it’s not the guitar’s fault!

Good advice Archie, I neglected to do that for the Mandolin Virtual Camp. I’ll have to search through my emails and hopefully find it. :crossed_fingers:

It’s a real pain I can tell.

Sometimes I release portions of these types of things long after they’ve occurred, but not all of them. The Pro Picker case studies are a different type of lesson that is meant for all Gold Pickers. These virtual camp or Banjo Ben Live events are individually for-purchase, though Gold Pick members get a discount. Thanks!

Thanks . I wasn’t sure if you did or not. I’ll have to think about it. But to clarify, you do have to pay for all live lessons like these?

Yes, these are totally separate from the lessons on the site. These are like a one time workshop, and with the amazing teachers he has lined up, I’d say it’s well worth the price!
