I am asking dose anyone have any experience of running or attending a session that is played at slower speeds, maybe even learning some tunes together. I don't know even if such a thing already happens. I started to go to sessions about a year ago and found it difficult to start playing in public, even if I knew and could play a tune being play it was all ways to first for me. Last weekend at the end of an Irish session two or three of us grouped around and played a few tunes slower to encourage some of the less confident players.
That got me thinking that maybe a regular session or workshop type event out of the public eye/ear might be something there could be some call for. I thought the format could include things like.
•        Tunes played at slower pace
•        Agreed play list
•        Learning new tunes
•        Tunes played two or three times
•        Taking turns sharing tunes
Any thoughts, experiences or ideas.
