Real Bluegrass Fiddle Is Not Just Tunes

Wernick Jam Class Bluegrass in small groups is fun -- and more than memorized parts. Learn how it's done! In jams, fiddlers follow chords to new songs, provide backup and rhythm chops, and do some singing. Wernick Method Jam Camps and classes are now happening nationwide. Fiddlers needed! Pete Wernick and his certified teachers Slow-Jam Video will get you playing real bluegrass in a jam with other musicians. Check local listings.

Can't get to a camp or class? Learn jam skills with Pete Wernick's slow jam-along DVDs.

Visit BGJam.com for lots of free jamming info.
Enter the Drawing Win a BowMate Bow Hold!

Enter our free drawing for your chance to win a BowMate Bow Hold from Little Mountain Music! We'll be choosing 10 winners for this drawing!

Winner of "Product Of The Month" in The Strad Magazine, the BowMate is excellent for all levels of playing from beginner to the professional.

Made from a comfortable but firm molded thermoplastic elastomer, it provides a lightweight grip for proper bow hold and helps keep the bow perpendicular to the instrument's strings. Adjusts to your bow's shaft for all hand sizes for unbelievable comfort and control. Made in the USA.
