Northern Nevada Bluegrass AssociationBluegrass Fiddle Tune Jam

“Fiddle Tunes” is a term that refers to the many instrumental tunes that are played in Bluegrass and Old Time music (see a list of common fiddle tunes played in our area here). Don’t be fooled by the word, “fiddle” – ALL the instruments play fiddle tunes in a fiddle tune jam. To enjoy a fiddle tune jam, you need to know how to play the appropriate rhythm style for your instrument AND be able to play some leads on fiddle tunes. This Fiddle Tune Jam welcomes players of the following traditional, acoustic instruments: fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, dobro and upright bass. Sometimes violas and cellos join us too! Some printed materials and coaching available as needed.
