Guitar League Launches Coachella Valley Chapter A new chapter of Guitar League is being launched in Coachella Valley, CA on March 19, 2025, making it the 9th GL Chapter of the national organization (other chapters listed below). The Coachella Valley chapter, managed by area musician Merv Adrian, will serve Palm Springs, Palm Desert, La Quinta, Rancho Mirage, Indio and surrounding areas. “We are excited to offer guitarists of all skill levels an opportunity to learn, play and share with each other. Fun and comradery are top priority. Novices and rusty players are very welcome” states Adrian. The Guitar League will meet the 3rd Wednesday of each month from 2 to 4 PM (sign in & registration at 6:30) at Old Time Artisan Studios ~ 79046 Calle Barcelona, La Quinta, CA 92253. Guitar League was founded in 2005 in Syracuse, NY as a “club” for members to share the joy and challenge of guitar (www.guitarleague.com). The “League“, idea comes from a baseball metaphor, catering to all skill levels including Rookies, Minors and Majors. “Guitar League was started as way to have fun learning guitar with new friends. You grow with it.” states Jim Horsman, Guitar League co-founder. “It’s a safe, nurturing and fun place to explore your guitar passion among new friends.” At each meeting, a main presenter (local or regional artist) spends the first hour sharing a mixture of performing and discussing their craft, something truly unique in the entertainment industry. Next, members split into breakout sessions for interactive learning and playing based on interest and skill level (Rookies, Minors and Majors). Each month, breakout sessions will include different useful skill development such as alternate tunings, blues progressions, classic lead riffs, bluegrass and country riffs, chord options, recording techniques, and songwriting tips, to name a few. “Our members always come away excited by something new they’ve learned,” states Dick Ward, co-founder of Guitar League. The first meeting of Guitar League Coachella Valley will be free and open to all. We are excited to have national performing artist and guitar teacher Neil Hogan as the Main Presenter for the March 19 meetup! See www.TotallyGuitars.com Breakout sessions will be designed to fit the varying skill levels (Rookies, Minors and Majors). Attendees are encouraged to bring their acoustic guitar, capo and tuner if they have one. A prospective member’s first meeting is always free to test-drive the organization. Membership is $99/ year for 12 monthly meetings (average $8.25/meeting) plus many other club benefits. The Coachella Valley chapter of Guitar League is the ninth chapter of the Syracuse, NY based organization. Chapters are located in Syracuse, NY, Asheville, NC, Boston, MA, Central Massachusetts, MA, Phoenix, AZ, Poconos, PA, Southern Wisconsin and St. Petersburg, FL.
