What happens at Guitar Club?
Come out a few times - you'll find yourself looking forward to each meeting - and it will give you an incentive to work on that favorite song you've always wanted to perform.
You Learn
Start with a lesson - maybe just some fingering exercises, maybe it's 30 minutes about song and chord construction, it's good content for beginners and veterans alike.
You Pick Things Up
Try new equipment, learn about other people's guitars, there are occasional guitar contests, with prizes. Meet other players.
Most of all, You Play
It's about the lowest-pressure open mic you can imagine. You're in a gym or church, with no one there but other guitar players. You have nothing to lose but your nervousness!
Three clubs (today) - 2 in the US, 1 in the UK
Note that each of these clubs are independent and run locally. The Guitar Club Network is only here to make people aware of them, and to help connect people with them!

Started by a veteran of the Shirley and Frankley clubs and some of his local musician friends in 2024, the club draws from North Central Ohio communities. They meet at First United Methodist Church in Willard, with a wonderful Bose PA system and roomy gym to practice in.

Never played at all in front of people? Why not practice doing it in front of others who are in the same boat - or a veteran who remembers how nerve-racking it was the first time they did it!
