Bluegrass/Old-Time Guitar Basics (Urbana)

Looking to start playing bluegrass? Bring your guitar along and learn from bluegrass pro Phillips Saylor Wisor!

This clinic will go through bluegrass basics and get you jamming after only 1 hour. Phillips is also available for private lessons here at Sloan!

This class is designed to introduce adult learners to the basics of bluegrass and old-time guitar in a relaxed, supportive, and fun group setting.

Students will learn core rhythm techniques like the "boom-chick" strum, simple chord progressions, and how to add bass runs to bring that classic drive and feel to their playing.

Through hands-on practice, familiar tunes, and a bit of jamming, participants will build confidence with traditional chord shapes, timing, and groove—no pressure, just good music and good company.
