Your Free Lessons for Mandolin Camp Prep

Due to popular demand, we've released another five seats for a weekend of mandolin instruction with John Reischman, Sharon Gilchrist, and Joe K. Walsh, October 19–22, 2017.

We can’t wait for our Mandolin Camp weekend, coming right up October 19 – 22, and we’re happy you can join us at the Kowana Valley Folk School near Yosemite, California,

Here’s a little something to help you get inspired for Camp. As part of the weekend, John, Sharon, and Joe would like to have an ensemble session in which you and your fellow students play “Lonesome Moonlight Waltz” in three-part harmony. And you’ll also have the chance to learn John’s favorite contemporary old-time tune, “The Road to Malvern.”

To get you started, we’re giving you free access to video lessons for these tunes on PegheadNation.com. If you’re already a member of Sharon Gilchrist’s Intermediate Bluegrass Mandolin course or John Reischman’s Melodic Mandolin Tunes course, you have access to these lessons. But if you’re not, you’re getting a free sneak peak at their great online courses.
