Known for virtuosic flat picking, deep traditional roots—and a must-follow Instagram account, West Virginia’s Jake Eddy has quickly become one of the most compelling voices in bluegrass guitar today.

Jake hit the road at the age of 14 with first-generation bluegrass legend Melvin Goins, and has since performed with the likes of Noam Pikelny, Becky Buller, Andy Statman, and more—in addition to his solo career.

Workshop Information: Modern Flatpicking Guitar with Jake Eddy

In this hands-on workshop, Jake Eddy explores modern flatpicking rooted in bluegrass tradition. Drawing on the styles of Tony Rice, Doc Watson, and Norman Blake, Jake shows how to develop tone, timing, and groove while building a personal voice on the guitar.

Topics include right-hand technique, melody-to-solo approaches, fiddle tunes, improvisation, and playing with confidence in jams or band settings. The workshop is geared toward intermediate to advanced players, with useful takeaways for motivated beginners. Expect clear demonstrations, practical ideas, and plenty of time for questions.
