Our Friday Night jam begins about 15 minutes after the close of the Friday Night Concert! 

This jam will feature selections from Petey Mack's famous songbook (Feb 2023 version). We encourage you to utilize the jam-specific songbook if you do not want to download or print Petey's full book. The chord sheets will be projected during the jams. As always, jam-specific books will be distributed electronically prior to the festival.

  • Intermediate: A student can hold a steady rhythm and is competent with a variety of basic chords. Understands simple chord progressions, can sing and strum at the same time, and learns chords to simple tunes fairly quickly.
  • Advanced: A student at this level can hear I, IV, and V chords, has mastered some chord inversions, knows there is life above the fifth fret, and has been there with barre or 4-fingered closed chords. Plays lead and backup easily with others and keeps steady rhythm.
