Discover the fascinating journey of the guitar in Bluegrass music—an American-born genre—from its humble beginnings as a rhythm instrument to its rise as a powerful lead. In this workshop, Jim Hurst delves into the historical context, influential players, and stylistic innovations that shaped the guitar’s role in the genre. Whether you’re a guitarist, a Bluegrass enthusiast, or simply curious about the evolution of this iconic instrument, you’ll gain insights into flatpicking techniques, rhythm foundations, and the artistry that brought the guitar to center stage. Join us for an engaging session that blends history, technique, and performance! This event is offered in partnership with the Cheyenne Guitar Society.
