Old-time Back-up Guitar

Howard Rains and Tricia Spencer will teach their approach to old-time back-up guitar. The workshop will focus on the "Old-Time Accompaniment Pattern," also known as the Missouri Rules. Howard and Tricia will switch off on fiddle and guitar and each show their approach to bass runs, listening for changes, and how to make the guitar fit with the tune and the fiddler.
