American Legion Post 14 - Learn & Share Acoustic Guitar - 1st & 3rd Tuesdays

About this event

MUST RSVP - you and your guest(s) as SPACE IS LIMITED to 12 (twelve). (Please cancel your RSVP if you are not able to attend.)

We begin at 7 PM. Please arrive a few minutes early as a courtesy to all singers/players to allow time for greetings, set up & tuning and prevent any awkward disruption of a late arrival during our play. We welcome players of non-amplified acoustic instruments; i.e. acoustic guitars, non-drum-kit percussionists, wood flutists, vocalists, etc.

We meet inside. Beer! (“CASH ONLY” BAR) Food! Parking in Rear off 16th Ave N

A $5 Cash contribution per RSVP is requested and accepted at the venue to defray the cost of the Meetup website.

To join us, you should:

• Have a guitar and capo, or other acceptable instrument

• Be open to most kinds of music (but no classical or rap)

• Bring 11 copies of lyrics/chords for songs you want to play - I have handouts of 25 popular songs you can also use

• Be able to play basic chords, e.g. A, Am, C, D, E, Em F, G

• Show appreciation and encouragement for others' efforts

We take turns leading songs, but we are a No-Pressure Meet-Up, and you can Play or Pass on your turn. No one expects perfection, so do your songs your way and no need to sound like any recording – just have fun with it !

The goal of this Meetup is to be a place where you can:

• Play and sing with other guitarists and musicians

• Share songs you like, or wrote, and show us how to play

• Learn new songs and expand your repertoire

• Offer playing tips to others, and learn new tips

• Appreciate and encourage fellow players

• Gain confidence in your playing/singing
