If you ask Bertolf: "Everyone loves bluegrass, many just don't realise it yet...". And we can't think of a better guitarist to unleash that love of Bluegrass in others!
That's why Bertolf visited our shop in February for an exclusive, and his first(!), Bluegrass workshop! In 90 minutes, Bertolf talks about bluegrass players, picking techniques, finding your own style and answers questions. He has also written out the tabs for his song 'Bluefinger'! In short, plenty of interesting tips, tricks and stories from the Bluegrass maestro from Zwolle!
Bluegrass Masterclass
Around 20 Bluegrass lovers were lucky enough to take part in this exclusive masterclass. We also wanted to share Bertolf's passion and knowledge with everyone who couldn't be there, which is why, with Bertolf's permission, we got to film his first workshop!
On the right, you can watch the full masterclass (in Dutch), play along with your guitar yourself, or simply enjoy 90 minutes of all Bertolf's stories and interesting tips!
Bluefinger Guitar Tabs
For this workshop, Bertolf has also created a tablature of his song 'Bluefinger' from his album of the same name! You can view and download it here.
At the end of the masterclass, Bertolf challenges everyone to be able to play this at original tempo within six months.... do you dare to take the challenge?
