CCM’s Guitar & Mandolin Study Group is a flexible, intermediate-level workshop where flatpickers can hone their instrumental technique and expand their musical toolbox alongside folks with similar goals. Sessions will focus on right-hand exercises, nuanced rhythm playing, improvisation, and ear training to connect what we hear with what we play.
