Session 1.0 - "In Tune, In Time"
Well we've begun! Almost a dozen showed up and we did some basics. It seems like a slow beginnings to some, of course, but you have to start somewhere! Soon we'll be playing whole songs. And, guaranteed, ALL will be challenged!
Please note: Session 1 will be offered again on Tuesday, November 25 from 7:00 to 7:30 a.m.
Here's what we worked on:
Playing out of tune/out of time. Playing in tune/in time (to "Hot Cross Buns").
Demonstration of different ways to tune.
A note on volume, etiquette (hand up, you stop, look - it's a musician thing).
Learning the notes on the bass E string.
Warm-ups (finger positioning, feedback from the guitar).
Learning some chords: G C D am
ROCK ON, RAIDERS!

A Few Bars of Introduction...
Michael kept asking me about Guitar Club. I'm glad he did. I wanted to do it, I just didn't know when. He and Andrew stopped by one day and we made a couple of posters. A few days later we found ourselves and 8 or 9 others after school with a few guitars.
So here goes, folks!!!
Mr. O. started an informal guitar club last year but it fizzled. Lots of people were busy and no one had a clear idea of a direction to go in. It kept turning into just a jam session with everybody playing at once. This time it will be more focused - and FUN! If it ain't fun, why bother, right?
So, no matter what your experience level or what condition your instrument is in, grab your axe and join us! And don't think that if you're a bass player, this club is not for you - it's a guitar, right? The fundamentals apply. Come join us!
