What we’re about
Is your guitar collecting dust? Can't afford lessons? Just want to find people to practice with? Then Social Guitar Practice is for you.
This is a group for everyone who wants to have fun learning/improving/playing guitar in a friendly social setting. All skill levels are welcome! We have regular events where small groups of guitarists can gather to learn, practice, and play. Other events may include lessons from guest teachers or outings to see live music.
Send me a message via Meetup if you want to host an event! Every host can set their own time, location, and house rules. This is the best way to guarantee an event that fits your schedule and skill level! My hope is that we will have many event hosts and multiple meetups each week across a range of skill levels. :)
I've been asked by some to include this. If you feel inclined to contribute a few bucks to help pay the MeetUp site's yearly fee for this meetup, here's the link:
