OVERVIEW:
Each month, the main presenter shares insights for the first hour to the whole group. Then attendees break out into one of 3 session options, based on interest and self-determined skill level: Rookies, Minors and Majors. A facilitator will lead each breakout session with a different subject each month. Bring you guitar because these are interactive sessions. Get ready to learn, play and share. Main presenter runs from 7-8 PM; breakouts runs 8-9 PM. Some folks hang for a bit afterward for some informal licks and jamming. It's all fun.

BREAKOUTS:
This month we will be returning to a popular breakout we ran last January - STYLE Breakouts! Choose a style you'd like to play or want to learn more about and join in the fun!
In these breakout sessions the leaders will be running a mini jam/play along using some of their favorite songs (Feel free to bring your favorite to play as well). Sharing ideas and asking questions are greatly encouraged as we highlight some basic guitar techniques used in each style. Each breakout will be open to players of any ability (Rookies, Minors, and Majors).
Lat month we ran a survey to see what styles people would most enjoy to play. Based on the results we are offering the following:
Basic Blues led by Evan Riley
Classic Rock led by Bill Conway
Country and Western led by Steve Oasen
Folk/Americana led by Chris Kohn
As always, any of you are free to find a quiet corner for swapping licks and jamming.
Note from the Commish:
* Please consider bringing other people to Guitar League meetings. They do not need to be guitarplayers. People often just come for the music. The first visit is always free! (Then just $10 for non-members.)
* Bill Hatfield at Hatfield Music and Tony Farrell at Voigt Music in Janesville are very welcome Guitar League sponsors in 2018. They both have new shops that are beautiful and filled with all your musical needs. Please stop in to both to give your thanks for supporting our group and see how they can meet your guitar needs!
See you Monday!
