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:
OPEN MIC PRACTICE FOR OUR 3 YEAR ANNIVERSARY!
The Southern WI Guitar League will be turning 3 at our November Meeting!!! We started a tradition last year of hosting an in house open mic for our Anniversary Meeting. This was very successful! As such, we will provide everyone with the opportunity this month (OCTOBER) to find a group or partner to work up a song for the special occasion! There will be a sign up for those wishing to lead a song or songs where others are welcome to join. Simply look at the list and decide if you want to join a group!
Not interested in performing for the open mic??
No worries! We will have a few mini breakouts for those who do not wish to do the open mic
*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 guitar players. 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!
