Jack Tuttle’s Beginning Bluegrass Mandolin Class
Beginning Tuesday, January 12th 7:00 - 8:00 PM 
Please contact Jack in advance to reserve a spot!

Beginning Mandolin (level 1-2) Both lead and backup playing will be examined in this introductory class. Focus will be on establishing good fundamentals with the pick and left-hand fingering. Repertoire will include standard fiddle tunes, bluegrass songs and some blues, covering a variety of techniques including tremolo, double stops, licks and fills. All materials will be available in both music and tablature. A great class for guitarists looking to try something different as well as the beginning mandolin player. Tuesdays 7 to 8pm. $170 (includes Jack’s mandolin book). Nine Weeks

Need a mandolin for the class? Gryphon will supply you with a free take-home rental for the duration of the class - limited supply though!

Carol has her own brochure fully describing each class, so pick one up at Gryphon or call 650-529-9166 to have one mailed to you. "Starting to Play” is fundamental instruction for virtually any style of guitar playing, while other classes take off from there. “Folk Standards,” “Already Picking Some,” and “Folk Favorites” are logical choices for those who know enough chords and basic techniques to make “Starting to Play” redundant. All classes are a nine-week series. For more information, call Carol or go to: www.carolmccomb.com. Gryphon has loaner guitars available for “Starting to Play” only. Call Gryphon for details.
