As the organizer of this group, I am a relatively new guitarist, having only been practicing at it for about 2-years. I very recently joined the Wilmington Acoustic Guitarist Jam Group and attended one of their jams. The folks that I met are great and the experience of playing with others very enjoyable; I am most certainly going to continue to jam with these folks too, but some of the jams may be a bit of a hike for me.
Although I am certain that their are far more qualified individuals to organize a group like this than me, I thought that perhaps there are other acoustic musicians in greater Downingtown area that share an interest in getting together to jam, so here I go with the hope that more experienced musicians will join this group and help to shape it into a worthwhile excursion.
No need to be an “accomplished” musician, but skilled individuals are obviously most welcome and needed too. If you want to get together and make some music, you fit the goal of this group.
Once we get enough members to host a jam, we will quickly schedule a Meetup. The intent will be to play a variety of styles and genres. Ideally, those attending a jam would bring copies of any music that you want the group to try. I am anticipating that we may have some startup pains and so I welcome any help or suggestions on organizing this Meetup group; let's get this going and have some fun making music!
Bring your acoustic guitar, bass, mandolin, dobro, banjo, resonator or whatever. If you don’t play an instrument but singing is your love, by all means please join us (this organizer doesn’t sing, so singers are most welcome too).
If percussion or harmonica is your passion, that's great too!
Hope you can join us!
