What a Camper Needs to Know

Chicago Joe with students at his Rock and Blues CampChicago Joe’s Rock ‘n Blues Camp accepts players and singers in middle and high school, with playing and singing skills on a late beginner through advanced stages.

Here are some guidelines:

  • Guitar players should know their basic chords and bar chords and know a little bit about scales and the notes on their fret boards.
  • Bass players should be able to play simple bass patterns in a steady fashion.
  • Drummers should be able to keep a steady beat for a minimum of three minutes, and know the basic rock and blues patterns.
  • Keyboard players should know the basic chords in most keys, and some knowledge of the relationship between keys would be very helpful.
  • Singers should be able to match pitch.  Nerves of steel are helpful.
  • All campers should bring an eagerness to learn, a willingness to be creative, and a dedication to working at his or her best.
