We just recently launched the Teachers Directory and folks are getting on board, so that's exciting! I just posted a new giveaway today as well, and we're doing a 2 shirts for 1 membership drive to help with site funding. 2012 is going to be a great year!
Thanks for being a part of the Flatpicker Hangout!

Multi-Instrument Jam Workshop this Tuesday
This Tuesday from 5-6:30PM PST we're holding doing our first-ever online group workshop at the Flatpicker Hangout. This is also our first-ever multi-instrument online workshop! Teaching the workshop will be the three founding members of the Nashville Music Workshop: Megan Lynch (fiddle), Ned Luberecki (banjo) and Stephen Mougin (guitar).
These three have taught bluegrass jamming all over the world and now they're teaching it to you in the comfort of your own living room. They will teach you a couple classic jam songs and break down the role of every instrument, even showing you some cool licks to add to your breaks and fills. They'll cover kickoffs and endings and how to use the capo properly. There will also be some discussion of unspoken jam etiquette and how to read musical cues on the fly. Ask all the questions you've ever wanted to ask about bluegrass jamming or even band dynamics!
Registration is $20--sign up now, as it's sure to fill up! Got questions? Check out the Workshops FAQ page.

I'm excited to announce the recent launch of the Flatpicker Hangout Teachers Directory--an online, searchable listing of teachers.
Teachers can create a listing for free, and members can easily search for a teacher based on location, styles taught, whether the teacher does online lessons, etc.
