Let's get together and stay motivated! This group is for anyone who has just started playing guitar or who has been playing for a while but needs to stay motivated. You may feel a little stuck and need to get over that hump where guitar playing becomes fun. We can play and share what we are learning and hopefully make some strides together. This will be great during those times when you can't always pay alot of money for a lesson from a guitar teacher.

This is a group designed for guitar beginners and intermediates. We start each meeting with a group lesson and then form small groups to learn songs based on skill levels. We make an effort to put vocals into the individual groups depending on vocal ability and availability. Each group works on a few specific songs chosen by the group and the instructor. The instructor(s) reviews each group during the meetup and provides aid and comments. The goal is to provide each group (and their individual m …

If you're a beginner, a basement rock star, a living room legend or a performing pro, THIS is where you let it shine. Open Mics, backyard jams, shows, private & public events. A place to learn and teach, but most of all, just to have fun with a bunch of (generally) acoustic musicians, singers and friends doing what they love to do!!!

This group is for acoustic lovers who are self trained to those who are classically trained. Advanced beginners to professionals are invited. (Advanced beginner meaning players should be able to move smoothly through 3-4 basic chords). While the name says "guitar", this group is acoustic in general.

This is a group of musicians, singers, songwriters that get together in a variety of settings to jam acoustic, electric, write music, exchange ideas, learn from one another and just have fun. All levels welcome.

As the organizer of this group, I am a relatively new guitarist, having only been practicing at it for about 4-years. 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 …

Banjos, Dulcimers, Acoustic guitars, Pennywhistles, Fiddles, Mandolins -- unite! Let's get together for an acoustic jam!

A home for all acoustic players, singers, and people who like to play unplugged in general. While all levels are welcome, we are an Intermediate to Advanced group. We currently have two main alternating Meetups: - One is a "Chord jam" where we all play and sing the same song at once, and the experts get a chance to solo. - The other is a "Performance Night" where we each take turns playing a song solo or with a friend. These are usually blues, rags, bluegrass, country or also folk/modern, d …

With roots buried deeply in Appalachia and influences spanning much of Europe and Africa, bluegrass music is more than a musical genre. It acts as a common language of sharp guitar melodies and banjo runs that have bridged cultural and generational gaps for more than a century. Today, many of the most talented Bluegrass musicians and passionate admirers play and live throughout Brooklyn, New York. This Meetup is to serve as a public forum for sharing and planning events related to bluegrass musi …

I would like to start a group to bring white collar adults together, on a very low-key and informal basis, to play some loud rock/blues music and drink some beers in the process. I'm sure that there are other people like this out there - maybe you have kids, maybe your job takes up all of your play time, maybe your wife yells at you for playing your guitar too loudly, maybe you want to play some music so loudly that you won't be able to hear others complaining that you've left the house to play …

I'll be teaching scales, songs, rhythms etc. in a fun, interactive environment. Different levels of skill and knowledge are welcome. My main instruments are oud and guitar, and I also play various Middle Eastern percussion and Baglama. If you want to learn any of these instruments or if you play violin, accordion, clarinet etc. and want to learn this music, you are …

My name is James, and I'm fairly new to Meetup.com; however, since my passion is centered around food and great classic rock, I figured maybe there are some other people out there who cook in their kitchens while they jam out to great tunes. This is the only thing that helps me unwind and fall into a state of relaxation.  For me the music allows me to be more creative in the kitchen.  I compare a great guitar solo to those last few seconds of making a risotto, it's intense, quick, and everything …

This group is about the joy of music, especially when you are making it and even more especially when you are making it with others. My goal in starting this group is to allow people to come together and play music. To get the ball rolling, I envision this being a monthly to weekly thing where we could get together, play, and socialize at member's apartments (hopefully some people with lots of space will join and we can all be merry together. Otherwise, my apartment will hold about 5, as long as …
