Our approach will be based on an impromptu or pick up jam format. No song sheets\, lots of fret hand finger reading\, just lots of fun and spontaneity. Jim Flynn sent a list of the songs we will potentially be playing and the 3 chords used for each in anApril 15th email to those folks who subscribe to our Guitar League Google group emails. There will be a limited number of copies of the list available at the meeting for those joining us for the first time.\nSong Circle – led by Felicity PetersThis is the ideal breakout session for those honing their guitar & singing skills whether for open mics\, organized jam sessions or stage performances. Please bring copies of your original or cover tune so that others can accompany you\, if you choose to have them do so.\nFinger Picking for Rookies and Rusties – led by Jeff StantonThis group will be working on finger picking patterns to accompany the songs “Dark Hollow” and “Homeward Bound.” Jeff Stanton sent out the materials to be used for this breakout session in an email to those subscribed to the Guitar League google group on April 14 and there will be a limited number of additional copies available at the meeting.\nOne additional editorial note in regard to Guitar League. Guitar League is an organization where guitar players and aspiring guitar players meet monthly to share their common love of the guitar and guitar playing in a welcoming\, judgement-free environment. Guitar players\, aspiring guitar players and non- guitar players are welcome. Many people attend just to enjoy the consistently fine performances provided by the GL members who play the opening sets and by the professional musicians that serve as main presenters. The organization is a place where guitar players can share their guitar playing tips and learn from others in the group.If you are wondering if Guitar League membership would be of value to you\, please feel free to join us for any of our regular monthly meetings\, including this month’s meeting Your first Guitar League meeting is free of charge\, so you can see whether or not Guitar League is a good fit for you\, even before joining.
