Drop ins $25/per session if space allows This class will focus on learning basic skills in order to play songs alone or with other players. Each week we will focus on learning specific skills that players can build on to gain confidence while playing. We will also work on playing different styles of music and transposing pieces into various keys. The goal is to provide players information and skills so they are comfortable in various musical environments.  Topics Include: Open position chords and how they are related to each other Moving from chord to chord smoothly and in time Rhythm and strumming techniques Single note play: Pentatonic scale\, lead-ins and fills Movable chord shapes Learning new songs Playing and performing with other musicians Bruce Thompson teaches guitar workshops and private lessons at the Caffe. Bruce started playing music in elementary school\, first on violin and later on guitar and dobro. Influenced by acoustic folk and bluegrass and a love for improvisation\, he earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Jazz Composition at the Berklee College of Music and played various music styles in the Boston area for ten years. After moving to Saratoga County\, NY he raised a family and made music at community\, family\, and school events. He currently plays in the band Uken Brew and is a fixture in the capital district bluegrass community.  \n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 7:30 pm	\n	\n	\n\n		\n\n	\n		\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Member\n						$23.86\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						General\n						$27.11\n					\n				\n							\n					\n					\n						Child or Student\n						$13.56\n					\n				\n						\n				 \n				inclusive of fees\n			\n		\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n					\n				Get Tickets			\n			\n	\n	\n	\n	\n	\n		\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Dan Berggren & Jeannine Laverty\n\n				Folk Singer Songwriter Storytelling\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 19 • 2 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Rochmon Record Club Listening Party: The Who’s “Quadrophenia”\n\n				Other Rock\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 21 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Poetry Open Mic Featuring Two Poets Laureate: Jay Rogoff & Adonis Richards\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic Poetry\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 25 • 2 PM

SUMMARY:School of Music Slow Jam
DESCRIPTION:Multi-act Program Open Mic Poetry		\n\n		\n			Share:\n			\n								\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n\n				\n				\n					\n				\n			\n		\n\n	 \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nAll are Welcome! \nWE LOVE TO MEET NEW PICKERS\, \nAND WE LOVE PUTTING ON A GOOD SHOW FOR LISTENERS!\n \nTHERE ARE NO PRE-SHOW RESERVATIONS FOR THE JAMS! \n \nSUGGESTED DONATION AT THE DOOR. $5.00 per person \n \nOur jams are all about sharing songs\, making new friends\, and enjoying a relaxing and casual evening of irresistible string band music. \n \nALL are welcome to join the circle for an afternoon or evening playing and listening to classic grass\, new grass and folk favorites. We sometimes refer to our genre as eclectic acoustic. \n \nRed Spruce and Adirondack Song Dogs will kick off each session with a few tunes then open the floor for musicians to lead their favorite bluegrass tunes and folk music\, backed up by the other pickers in the gathering. Simple tunes are always popular! So sharpen up your axe\, come prepared with your song\, and let us hear some good old fast\, high and lonesome\, some slow and low\, or a good old favorite. All are welcome! \n \nWhat is a Slow Jam? \n \nIt is a group of string instrument players and singers who get together to have fun making music. The “slow” modifier indicates that it is targeted to the following musicians: people who have been playing solo and want to get used to playing in a group setting: people who have just learned how to play and want to play with others; people who have instruments that have been gathering dust for a “few” years; experienced players who are trying out playing instruments other than their primary instrument; people who are comfortable playing their instrument but want to become more comfortable singing/leading a song.. The tunes are played at 80 to 110 BPM and usually in basic keys such a G\, A\, D\, C major\, but it always sounds great to play in some minor keys such as “a”\, “e”\, and “g”. We will try to avoid “jam busters.” It is our hope that after this experience you will feel more comfortable playing at the many open jams and open mics that can be found in our area. \n \n \n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	\n		Doors Open\n		Doors Open: 1:30 pm	\n	 \n \n	\n	\n						\n					Price\n					\n						Suggested Donation\n						$5.00\n					\n				\n			\n	 \n \n	\n					\n				Streaming\n			\n			\n	 \n\n\n \n	\n		\n			Similar Events\n			\n				View All\n				\n			\n		\n				\n			\n				\n\n											\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 20 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			Apr 27 • 7 PM		\n	\n	\n\n\n\n						\n												\n							\n\n	\n		\n		Caffè Lena\n	\n\n		\n\n		Open Mic\n\n				Multi-act Program Open Mic\n		\n		\n			\n				\n								event\n			\n					\n\n		\n			May 4 • 7 PM

A multi-instrumentalist\, award-winning songwriter\, and powerhouse performer\, Posner seamlessly blends folk\, blues\, indie\, and pop\, making every live show an adventure in sound and soul. \n \nWith a reputation for her fierce guitar solos\, Earl Scruggs-style banjo picking\, and the ability to pick up just about any instrument she touches\, Abby Posner’s live performances are mesmerizing. Her energy is often compared to Chris Thile (Nickel Creek) and The Lumineers\, and her music ranges from intimate\, haunting folk songs to festival-ready\, foot-stomping anthems. \n \nA seasoned composer for film and TV\, Posner’s music has been featured on Hulu’s Maggie\, The Fosters\, This American Life\, Last Tango in Halifax\, and more. She has performed on GLEE\, Famous in Love\, KCAL 9 News\, and Good Day LA and has opened for Sierra Hull\, Dustbowl Revival\, and other iconic acts. Her song Get Loud with Ships Have Sailed won the USA Songwriter Competition Grand Prize and continues to chart on indie/alternative radio. \n \nWhether she’s playing guitar\, banjo\, mandolin\, or drums\, looping beats live\, or belting out a heartfelt ballad\,​ this dynamic\, genre-fluid artist is redefining modern folk music. \n \nSAMPLE SONG \n \nThe Bright Series is made possible by a generous gift from Kevin & Claudia Bright.  \n \nStream this show live at CaffeLenaTV.
