Feb 28: Flatpicking Guitar Workshop with Eric Skye

Saturday, February 28, 2026

11am – 1pm

Dusty Strings 3406 Fremont Ave N

Maximum Enrollment: 16

Registration & Refund Deadline: Wednesday, February 25, 2026

Learn a flatpicking fiddle tune or two on the guitar. We’ll learn how to learn a tune quickly, completely by ear. We’ll level up our alternating picking technique, and pull a big tone out of our guitar. We’ll get into the art of accompaniment with an emphasis on groove, listening and supporting each other. And discuss how we can take a solo in this style that is anchored to the melody. 

Skills Needed: All are welcome, but some basic knowledge of chords and open scales would be a plus.

What to Bring: Bring a recording device for sure. And bring a guitar (or maybe a mandolin) of course.

Teacher: Pacific Northwest acoustic guitarist Eric Skye occupies a unique niche between folk, jazz and blues, between fingerstyle and flatpicking, and between composition and improvisation. Eric has released nine albums and toured throughout the country for many years.
